Baltimore, Maryland's fast rising extremists, The Contagion Effect, have completed the recording process for their as yet untitled debut ep at Oceanic Recording with Taylor Larson at the helm. An official release date for the EP, which will be self released by the band, is pending.
The band has posted a second track entitled 'Exsanguination' on their Official Facebook page as well as on Youtube (see links below). The band will also have their track, 'A Global Abortion', featured in an upcoming video game, with details to be announced soon. Now with the debut EP finished, the release of 'Exsanguination' and having a track set for massive exposure on a forthcoming video game, the campaign to bring The Contagion Effect's music to the masses is in full effect!
Formed from the ashes of crushing deathcore heavyweights Whisteria Cottage, who went on a long term hiatus shortly after the release of their debut album 'Heathen', comes The Contagion Effect. Picking up where Whisteria Cottage left off, The Contagion Effect adds more depth and dynamics to their already savage sonic landscape. The band consists of 4 of the 5 original members with Chris Booth and Mike Anderson returning to their respective roles on Guitar and Drums. Cory Myers makes the transition from Bass to Guitar due to former Whisteria guitarist John McMillion moving on to other things, and taking on bass duties is newcomer Robert Polanco. And of course, The Contagion Effect brings about the highly anticipated return of original Whisteria Cottage vocalist Mike Comegys!
Bringing their fans over from the Whisteria Cottage page continues to be an ongoing process as long time fans discover that the band has returned under a new moniker, but the band is satisfied with the rapid and consistent growth of their fanbase. Since the band's inception in late March 2011, The Contagion Effect has managed to amass over 2,600 likes on their Official Facebook page. The band also recently had their live debut at the Recher Theater in Towson, Maryland, with another show coming up at the end of this month alongside fellow Baltimore heavyweights In Dying Arms.
