The Contortionist Megathread

[Chri]

This is also like the 4th thread on them asking the same exact question

But, yes they are amazing

 

[Durero]

I can't stop listening to them.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

3:05 reminds me of 3:19 in this song:

 

[KoenDercksen]

Oh yes, the Contortionist is amazing!

I just got home from a party, sweet dreams guys.

I've never understood whats so good about this band. They'd sound great without the watered down songs. By watered down I mean they use excessive breakdowns. Also, their vocalist is a dime a dozen hardcore bro.

 

[Triple7]

I like his vocals a lot better than most hardcore vocalists, there's something weird about it that makes it awesome.

 

[spattergrind]

Yes!
They have quickly become one of my favorite bands.
I love that song too, all their songs on Exoplanet are great. Some songs have really slow parts, but it kind of breaks up the heavy.

Endless......Motion.
Now the experience is long gone.

I fucking love that part! I don't know why, but it sounds so damn good!

It actually is Flourish BTW.

I agree with this statement. While the music is pretty cool, the breakdowns are overkill. I think the band has a lot of potential, but personally, I have yet to be impressed by them. They are just an okay band if you ask me.

The Faceless with mad breakdowns and a brocalist.






AND I LOVE IT!

Hey, before I go on about the show, this is my first post, after a month or so of lurking!

The Contortionist is amazing, as I'm sure you guys know. I saw them here in Omaha last night with 3 other locals bands. When they first started playing, I was like.

If you have the chance to go check them out, I highly suggest you do!

 

[cwhitey2]

Yeah they are killer live i saw them a couple months ago...i actually went to that show just to check them out


Oh, Welcome!!

 

[DVRP]

My buddy saw them in Van a few days ago. Said they kicked ass!

 

[Triple7]

Welcome duder! Yea I went to see them a couple of months ago with The Acacia Strain, ended up getting there late and only seeing them play one song. But their cd is freakin awesome, and I plan to try and see them again as soon as I can.

 

[RandyE9]

Thanks for the welcomes, guys!

They played here at a venue that holds only 400 or so, and there was about 150 people there, and I was right up front on stage left, amazing to see how intricate everything is, and how easy they make it look!

 

[adb]

oh cool bro! how many sweet breakdowns were there

 

[Joeywilson]

My band opened up for them last weekend, sickest band and coolest guys!

 

[ByDesign]

Hey guys

First of all, sorry if this isn't the best place for this, please move if it isn't.

I figured there are a fair few Aussie members of this board who would be interested in this, so here it is!
