and it is good

Kinda boring.

What the fuck is this news article?

Song is alright. Better than Intrinsic, but still lacks what made Exoplanet such a resounding success. Still looking forward to Language though.

Shots fired by user Odal

yeah nah

literally in like the last second there's a heavy chord so maybe the next song on the record is heavy

which will hopefully be alright, because that's what made Exoplanet so good and Intrinsic so dull

Tasty

Sounds better than Intrinsic at least.

I'm sure that there will be some heavier tracks on the album too, though I wouldn't mind if they stuck with this style for most of it. After all, Lessard went heavy with his old band Last Chance to Reason pretty frequently- so they at least have the capability of doing so if it's what they want.

This. This is good. I'll just forget Intrinsic ever happened.

Song is alright. [2]

I'm not the only one hearing modern day Cynic influences right?

Song's decent, kinda funny how much they changed between Apparition and Intrinsic.

Pretty good.

Whoeva keeps using the term "drop, dropped, drops" in the news feed needs to stop.

I dig the vocalist.

this song made me wanna see what Chimp Spanner is up to....nothing at all by the way

between the contortionist and me.

All Roads Lead Here was only 2 years ago, man.

This track rules.

great stuff, the production is just perfect

This is excellent

great to see these guys branching out their sound

well atomic he played at the UK tech fest last weekend I wasn't complaining that he was doing nothing, just stating lol

wow, this is actually incredible. im really glad they dropped the elastic string sound from intrinsic. lessard is a pretty damn fitting

new vocalist kicks ass. gives off major cynic vibes

lol come on omaha, ilu but that second paragraph is terrible well done

song is ok i guess

not bad but a little boring

Its a build up song for sure. I do kinda want to hear what they come up with, but then again so much other music to listen to this year, so i kinda wish this song had grabbed me a little more.

soooooooo much better than Intrinsic

Band is ass

love the song, love the art, cant wait for this

lol thanks for the heads-up MO i edited it around just for you

feel special honey

YES!

This is what I was hoping their sound would become! A lot softer, really organic with fantastic production.

FUCKING STOKED! Tho I feel this is gonna be a divisive album, some will find it boring and bland while others will find entrancing. That guitar lead in the intro is hypnotising.

2nd listen of this made it really click for me. Damn it's good.

Album of the Beepn Year

i was a little disappointed by this tbh but it's not bad

edit: it's much better the second time

boring cynic knock off

Sounds very Oceansize-y to me. Not bad. But I don't think they'll ever top Exoplanet, unfortunately.

I honestly didn't hear much Cynic in the song.

lol those dual clean/screams are blatant cynic ripoffs but this track is tight

It's a shame that there's only 9 tracks on this... Hope there aren't any fillers.

This is pretty boring. Hopefully this is the only song like this on the new album

F U C K Y E A

first sentence made me lol for some reason

production is so much better than intrinsic thank god

am i the only 1 feelin a hard tesseract vibe

yes

This is so fucking boring

wasn't this band deathcore or whatever what the fuck is this snooze fest

yeah i really second the oceansize vibes which is a great thing. I really think this band has grown up

Great song, since this is a two part song according to the track listing, I'm guessing Part II is going to be heavier. Also, I think Intrinsic is great. Don't understand why fans dislike it. Admittedly, I haven't heard anything before Exoplanet, but I think Exoplanet and Intrinsic are both great. Seems like Language is going to be another great chapter in this band's career. Keep it up guys.

will listen to this after work. exoplanet was very cool but i thought intrinsic was pretty boring. based on these new titles, it sounds like they've moved on from the space-themed shit right?

This is pretty great on first listen.

Good song, enjoyed it a lot.

What the fuck is this news article? [3]

song is pretty good

Song droped, k. Did it break doe?

Song brings my expectations to new heights!

but seriously i cant stress how unprofessional this artical read. i wish you guys would stop trying to change the format of the titles and content and instead just focus on the style being professional, brief, and informative.

yeah i agree moreira, this song has me excited for the full release.

Love it. Fucking love it. Also, production is so much better than intrinsic thank god [2]

the thingy says to make the title catchy

that's what it SAYS!!!!

Catch a glimpse of The Contortionist's new song above, and leave a comment with your thoughts. Or don't, if you want to keep your thoughts to yourself like a proper member of a music discussion community.

if I could glimpse a song without reading anything I'd be a millionaire

Loved this.

Excellent. High production value. Amazing clean vocals, very well done.

yeah i can't stop listening to this song... it's very beautiful, and relaxing

Here's to hoping that the "heavy" parts aren't open string based

I'm tired of reading "Cynic ripoff". You guys can be super fuckin' dense sometimes. People complain there's no bands as good as Tool out there, but a band comes along that is influenced by them and they're "a ripoff" that gets a bad rating when they're super talented (even if they have mother-fuckin' Steve Digiorgio on bass).

People complain there's no bands releasing albums like Traced In Air, but a band writes an influenced song and they're a "ripoff".

Good lord.

Between the Oceanize and Contortionist


Oh man. Pure relief. This is amazing. The new Last Chance to Reason was just like the recent Contortionist: airy, odd production, no feeling.

This though....love it.

defs one of the least gay and contrived-sounding modern prog metal whatevers

REALLY liking this. Kinda relived about it too.

Move over Cynic...

Awesome stuff. I love the vocalist. This band is heading in the right direction. They have the ability to make something really good.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is really good. A little slow at times but it definitely builds into something cool. Also this sounds much more like a Last Chance to Reason than it does Cynic.

not bad at all, but I think I'll enjoy it more in the context of an album.

wheres the fucking junz. i still dig tho

Wow. Very impressed.

I hope this stays this good after a few listens. God knows Intrinsic had a hold on me the first time around. I hope it's not a repeat of that.

Sounds decent.

superb

lol, even Gospel is more interesting than this...

mayh > rise against = sylosis >>> gospel

LOL @ ppl talking about Cynic here cmon guys, just enjoy the song and don't go looking for something to compare it to. I won't say that's a completely wrong comparison but i hadn't even thought of that tbh

pretty meh

Competent, but very dull track. Hopefully the rest of the record isn't like this.

"but seriously i cant stress how unprofessional this artical read. i wish you guys would stop trying to change the format of the titles and content and instead just focus on the style being professional, brief, and informative."

Get a life. Who gives a shit? It's a news article it's not affecting you in some monstrously negative way is it?

ya this is boring af

This is way better than Cynic's last 'effort' so who gives a flying fuck

First song I've heard by these guys, and it's pretty good. I know their last album wasn't well received by fans, so I'll probably spin Exoplanet a few times before the new one drops.

it's nice but boring by itself, gotta hear it within the album's context

and fuck you omaha you unproper fuck

The Junjortionist just became the Conboretionist.

Ily!

that 'pun' gave me cancer

Oh pleb
