The Contortionist have released a new song entitled “Language“, a small band but, from small acorns grow big oaks. After being on tour with Between The Buried And Me and playing some great shows last year The Contortionist have become a hot topic indeed. Their new material continues on with the slight ambient feel that Intrinsic had especially with the song “Holomovement”, with on the surface simple lines once studied further its revealed to have more intricate well placed instrumentation, but most importantly no one else sounds like them, with a plethora of bands jumping,still, on the djent bandwagon The Contortionist have been happy to just do what they do best. By now incorporating vocalist Michael Lessard after the departure of Jonathan Carpenter it seems that The Contortionist have very much found their voice, with apparently not much of the death metal elements left in their new output and it mostly being clean singing. I would see that as more of an evolution than a step back, a mature move to say they’re not just some random band, The Contortionist are definitely going to be recognized and rightly so!

Check out “Language” and The Contortionist’s album of the same title is out September 16th on EOne Music, September is shaping up to be not too shabby!
