The Contortionist Megathread

I've seen them twice since Lessard joined, and I saw Oscillator and Vessel.

I've seen them play Flourish, Oscillator, and Vessel with the new vocalist; can't remember if they did any others.

This, plus at least one of the 3 parts of Exoplanet, very likely more but I can't remember for sure.

Mike is doing an amazing job, and I don't think they could have picked a better person for the job

 

[Matyrker]

Guess who has no money for preorders? This guuuyyy

 

[lance_pants]

They have a keyboardist now too guyssss

 

[anomynous]

Go on........



There are six guys in that pic they posted on FB.

 

[lance_pants]

I lurked on Instagram and followed some dude with the username erock or something and he posted a studio snippet, film clip photos and said he was the keyboardist in the comments. So I'd assume this album is going to be atmospheric and synth heavy

 

[jjfiegel]

Pretty sure they got a keyboardist because Jonathan played keys and Mike doesn't. Having a dedicated keyboardist will be interesting.

New song on iTunes

I literally stopped everything when I read this, went on itunes and bought it, jesus I thought the new Fallujah record was going to be my top album but if the rest of Language is anything like this song I think I know what my AOTY is going to be!

It is perfect. So much dreamscape audio perfection. I love the bass tone in the first verse. The groove, the beauty, the majesty. I am in love. I can't wait to hear it transition into the next song. Oh and Lessard is a perfect fit for the band. This has the mood of a deftones song but with more added detail. The snare tone in the bridge is very digital bath.

"DRIFT WITH THE EBB AND FLOW" < a perfect self aware summation of my listening experience.

 

[Mr-Jemhead93]

For those of you who'll want to hear the sonic smoothness I found it on the tube.

 

[anomynous]

I'll always miss Exoplanet style but this is the shit

 

[Timelesseer]

I just started to get into this band with Intrinsic, so the 'softer' side of them has always appealed to me more. This new track sounds amazing, if the rest of the album delivers like that, it may top Monuments' new album for AOTY for me.

 

[brutalwizard]

I need this in my life. The new song is 100% too good.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Oh man my day is made <3 that track is ....ing amazing

 

[Blasphemer]

I wasn't sure how this album could top Intrinsic,but holy damn. This track gives me hope that it very well may. Mike is such a ridiculous singer, as well as a perfect addition to this band.

 

[goherpsNderp]

i really like it, but i'm worried by how muffled the guitars sound. i'm hearing vocals and drums, and maybe some bass. i really have to listen for the guitars, and that bothers me.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear from The Contortionist.
