Contingence

17 years in existence, and still moving forward into the world of industrial metal, CONTINGENCE has been resurrected from the ashes of their 7th global independent release “Necropolis” in 2001 - a highly anticipated follow-up to the 1995 release “Dominion”. In 2008, The new lineup of this project consists of: Project Founder/Vocalist/Programmer Deprogrammed (a.k.a. Otto Cate), Guitarist Johnny Lenzini, Drummer/Percussionist Johnny Ostrem, and brand new to the lineup is Guitarist Brian Skeel. Otto originally developed the inner workings of the project back in 1990 with Alex Seminara (The Siren Project/Gibraltur), starting from an electro-industrial base of ingredients. During the life of the project, these electronic experimentations have taken on a demonic aura that has become an entity of its own. Johnny Lenzini entered the project in 1994, toting a chaotic cutting edge guitar style that pushed the band further into the spectrum of industrial metal, and helped to further progress CONTINGENCE’s cold and brutal sound. Johnny Ostrem joined forces with the project in 1996 with his crushing rhythms, precision footwork, and uncompromising meter, as the Dominion release was circulating Europe and the U.S.. 2008 marks a new chapter in the project's lifespan, as plans are being put into to place to finish the 3rd episode in the Dominion/Necropolis trilogy.
