“In the past few years, Alex Cohen has emerged as one of the planet’s most advanced, progressive drummers.”

– Sick Drummer Magazine

True to their namesake, CONTRARIAN continue to defy the odds and steer the head of progressive/technical death metal towards a more organic approach. On Sage of Shekhinah, the band counteracts genre norms with nuanced composition and subtle production.
