Background notes
Archive material and source history
Contempty formed in 2010 around vocalist Alastor Wrath and bassist Malice Richter, after an earlier project fell apart. They worked through lineup changes and money problems, putting out a debut EP called 'Echoes of Despair' and touring steadily.
Their first album was 'Ashes of the Unseen,' which had a raw, aggressive feel. Later records like 'Dethroning the Tyrant' and 'Aetheria' brought in some prog and atmospheric black metal touches. The song 'Gaping Deception In Guiltless Eyes' gave its name to one of their albums.
Wrath handles vocals and writes lyrics that circle guilt, deception, and similar themes. Richter plays bass, and the drummer is named Erebos. Their music sometimes drew attention for touching on religion and mental health in ways that made people uncomfortable.
