Building more hype around their new album The Contortionist have released a new song and its probably their most progressive yet. “Primordial Sound” is most definitely not primordial in the slightest, being a rather complex song and one of the best the band have written to date. It appears to me that Language will see The Contortionist use a more mature sound rather than the slightly clunky sound of Intrinsic. Although as good as this song is, there is one thing I thought of immediately it sounds very much like Traced In Air era Cynic. The boys have got to be careful and make sure that they don’t end being a copy cat band and maintain an identity themselves. That being said “Primordial Sound” encapsulates the band at their peak, showing the listeners that The Contortionist have indeed evolved into the fully fledged progressive band they’ve been hinting at.

The Contortionist‘s new album Language will be released September 16th via eOne.
