Formed by twin brothers Paul and Andrew Haug, Contrive are an Australian metal duo looking to push musical and geographical boundaries with their sound that will appeal to a miscellany of fans. Check out their latest single Connect-dead below!
Re-energised, re-invigorated, re-born; Contrive has been honed into a razor sharp two-piece metal machine following a prolonged hiatus after the death of their father. The brothers are ready to take the world by storm in 2018 having finally released their much awaited new album Slow Dissolve back in September 2017.
Andrew Haug comments
‘We were halfway through the writing / recording process of this album back in 2015 when tragedy struck and our Dad passed away. Paul and I didn’t think we’d continue doing this, it was a very trying time for us both. But as most families do, we stuck together & dug deep using Dad’s encouraging words over the years on finding your passion and taking it to its very limits.
We believe that emotion and passion has been captured on this record, there is no doubt about that.’
The twin brothers Paul and Andrew Haug are two parts of the one whole, finishing each other’s musical thoughts like no one else can. The result is a potent collection of intuitive, progressive, heavy metal; modern production and a liberal dose of electronic effects that meet some old school metal crunch via surging riffs and punishing drums.
This two piece manage to perfectly craft a seismic soundscape that gives the impression that there is more than two members contributing their noise to this metal outfit.
The twins have a brand new music video coming in 2018 that was filmed by drones.
