So my band was tracking drums with Evan from Last Chance to Reason at the beginning of this week, and he had an early mix of the new Contortionist album. He let us hear it.


Guys - this album ....ing rules.

The last album really made a HUGE impression on me as far as where Modern Metal is heading. This new album, is gonna make us all step our game up!

Sounds good. Mike's vocals have gotten even better since Level 3. Did they release another single, or is this some sort of leak? I didn't see it on their facebook page.

Fun fact #2: The first harsh vocals in Conspire, "We are primordial sounds", (Which are also the first harsh vocals on the album) are both Robby Brown and Bill Oberrender! And I believe the rest of that line is Robby :)

Some crazy soul leaked part 2 and combined them both.

This is some next level music.

can someone identify the chords on the opener of Language 1? (intuition?)

it sounds like 2 people playing, and they've both got the echo going on, so it makes it hard for me.

If my ears are serving me correctly, it sounds like a Boss Major and Shit Diminished... Pretty interesting.

Sounds like the two chords are a polychord forming a min 11 maj 13 chord

okay thanks, i'll fiddle around with it later today.

i tried to figure it out by ear last night and i started to feel some of my brain leaking out of my ear hole, so i stopped.

From the video, it looks like Robby is playing this:

D#----0----0----
A#----2----2----
F -----5----5----
C#----4----4----
G#----x----x----
D#----3----x----
G#---------4----

I think he moves the 2 on the A# up to 4 for one part but I wasn't completely sure. Couldn't tell what Cameron was playing, unfortunately.

thank you sir! testing this out tonight!

i'm also hoping to tweak out a good clean channel that sounds nice and tidy like the intro above. (or as close as possible on my Cube lol)
