Editor's note

The Contortionist's intricate progressive metal explorations

A band that blends technical precision with philosophical themes across albums like 'Language I: Intuition'.

If you want to hear what they're about, start with 'Monochrome (Pensive)' and 'Exoplanet.' They give you both the atmospheric and technical sides of what this band does.

They're not just another metal band. Songs like 'Monochrome (Pensive)' show how they weave consciousness and spirituality into complex arrangements, while 'Return To Earth' and 'Flourish' demonstrate their progressive leanings. Their 2014 album 'Language I: Intuition' features unconventional song structures that feel both cerebral and visceral.

Formed in 2007 with members including vocalist Mike Lessard and guitarist Robby Baca, they released their debut 'Exoplanet' and followed with 'Intrinsic' and 'Language I: Intuition.' Their sound developed from that foundation into more intricate territory, with Baca's finger-tapping techniques and Eberhardt's complex bass patterns becoming signature elements.
