About Me

QUICK CONTRIVE FACTS
Contrive was formed by twin brothers Paul and Andrew Haug in 1999.
Released self-financed debut ep in 2001 titled Finally, now out of print.
2002 saw the band tour extensively including supports with MAYHEM (Nor) & DESTRUCTION (Ger).
2003 released the self-financed Prosper ep (+ CDRom) to solid reviews abroad.
Lots more touring, sharing stages with SEPULTURA, SOILWORK, and SKINLAB etc.
Late 2004 entered the studio to commence recording the debut album titled The Meaning Unseen, plus securing a support slot with MACHINE HEAD in October.
2005, the self-managed, unsigned band utilised the services of infamous Metal Producer Fredrik Nordstrom in Sweden to mix the album.
Fredrik, known for his impeccable work with ARCH ENEMY, OPETH, DIMMU BORGIR and the like, delivered stunning results that can be heard on the debut album The Meaning Unseen.
