Artist: CENTURIAN
Album: CONTRA RATIONEM (CD)

Year: 2013
Media type: CD

In the 5 years between 1997 and 2002, CENTURIAN pioneered the second wave of deathmetal among acts as Angelcorpse and Krisiun. Shows are performed in the U.S. and a considerable part of Europe. CENTURIAN earned a very solid underground reputation because of the distinctive way of songwriting and an undying aggressive approach.

Between 2002 and 2010, songwriter/guitaristRob Oorthuis concentrates on a new band NOX. CENTURIAN is dead but dreaming at this time. NOX was an opportunity for Rob to explore other extreme realms musically and to evolve as a guitarist. Some very successful shows are done with bands as ANTAEUS, NIFELHEIM, DESTROYER 666 and THE DEVIL'S BLOOD. The band receives great reviews  but suffers many line up changes.  In 2010 NOX is put on ice.
 
The rebirth of CENTURIAN is celebrated with shows throughout Europe and Brasil in 2011. A new full-length "Contra Rationem" is to be released on Listenable Records. It contains the most diverse and dynamic songs until now and proves yet again  the weird and wrathful style of CENTURIAN !
