The Contradiction is a 3-piece band based in Czech Republic, although some of its members are also from Kazakhstan and Ukraine. It is a mix of progressive metalcore, arab metal and blackened deathcore, with lyrics mostly being inspired by grimdark future of Warhammer 40000 universe and recently expanding further into current reality, exploring human nature, its habit to harm and cripple itself. The band has worked on their music together with Dmitry Demyanenko (Shokran), Sergey Raev (Obscure of Acacia, [AMATORY]), Alan Grnja (Distant), Jacob Wallace (ex-Brojob) and many others.
