Retrospective: Live From Atlanta - Set 1

[@SeanTenney777]

Can’t wait for you guys to return.

[@dojo4712]

If they ever do... 😔 it's been way too long!

[@PhoenixDecim]

@@dojo4712 I'm sure the next album is in progress. maybe next year! we can only hope 🙃

[@athmaid]

@@PhoenixDecim I take the release of these sets as a sign that a new single or something is coming soon

[@SeanTenney777]

@@dojo4712 trust me, they are!

[@kylehayes07262]

@SeanTenney777 Hope you're right on the new content- then we get more Contortionist covers from you too!

[@griimofficial]

The Contortionist is, in my opinion, the only one true Progressive Metalcore band that built the foundation for bands today. Absolutely love to see you all still making and playing music.

[@ChaboyAnthony]

the goats Intro - 0:00 Early Grave - 2:45 Reimagined - 6:45 Follow - 10:59 Geocentric Confusion - 15:21 Flourish - 21:28 1979 - 28:47 Integration - 33:40 Thrive - 39:13 Solipsis - 45:10 Language I: Intuition - 47:00 Language II: Conspire - 52:34

[@xacapulcox]

That was quick haha.. tks buddy

[@1155media]

Based

[@Unanythang]

You the man!!!!!

[@MirkoFustinoni]

That intro single-handedly explains why these guys are magical

[@Quaker763]

Couldn't agree more. Even a small piece to introduce the set sounds absolutely amazing.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

No doubt... refreshing

[@justinwilkins419]

I've repeatedly rewound it so much, that I'm probably 2,000 listens lol

[@cheefpoker]

I'm 41. Not too old, but been around to experience a lot of music. TC is easily in my top 5 favorites of all time. There's no reason for them not to be. Bless these men that bring us this music. The world needs it. And I hate how grossly unpopular it is.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

Exactly *

[@RanulfoKnox]

Im 40 and i totally agree with you

[@shabado0]

I’m 40 and listen to an absurd amount of music and I consider them the best band in the world right now, taken in totality. The more ‘listenable’ they continue to become while retaining all of the subtleties that make them who they are, the better off humanity is

[@bmstrr]

It's criminal.

[@xir8943]

Whats ur another 4 favorite bands? 🎉

[@nicolasgatica.mp3]

Long live The Contortionist

[@IMakeHistory2]

Long Live The Contortionist

[@osanan]

Amen to that, brother!!!

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

Always ^ ^

[@PhoenixDecim]

Patiently waiting for new music. I hope you guys are doing well 😊

[@sunnyhaair]

New music from the contortionist prayer circle 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

[@trasherrR92]

Literally the best progressive metal band today, looking forward to the new stuff! 🙏

[@captncanes3454]

18:47 - 21:28 is just absolutely breathtaking...

[@HaroldnolikeGerald]

Everytime I hear it my body melts. Glad someone pointed this out because it's honestly ridiculous how insane it is.

[@majicks.musick]

givin me chills to dis DAY

[@chrisbarker8513]

Incredible

[@KomatoseFGC]

Absolutely one of the best things ever written and performed in music.

[@davej582]

I think if I had an hour left to live I would choose to spend it listening to the contortionist, and this song would 100% be on the list

[@GinoTravisany]

I recently saw Tesseract playing live and I thought it would be incredible a tour from both bands together

[@justinwilkins419]

They did in 2014....it was F'ING AMAZING

[@pugagodhand]

God, I love this band so much.. really hoping for something new soon

[@Jason-ml2px]

I’ll never get over the synth that starts at 44:33. Absolutely haunting. Gives me goosebumps every time.

[@z_ragnair]

man, the final part of Geocentric Confusion always gets me. it's so damn good. ♥ welcome back, The Contortionist. we all missed you!

[@Hiei999]

I know you, you're scared to be on your own. I'll always be there for you. For you....

[@Drewid84]

Ok fine.. I'll listen to the entire TC catalog front to back again

[@pedrohomsi5993]

Come to Brasil! 🙌

[@justinwilkins419]

I seriously have listened to this for 30 days straight at least once a day sometimes more than once!! How are Cam and Robby not included in great guitar duos is BEYOND me!!! Such pure perfection in this band!!! If I can ask for one tour, please tour with Karnivool from Australia and my life will be complete!!!!

[@surrealducks]

Holy crap yeah if they toured with Karnivool I would poop everywhere

[@Javiproductionz]

Damnnnnnn, Geocentric from 19:18 - 21:35 just takes me to musical bliss every damn time since its release

[@skinwithlovestudio5256]

most beautiful piece of music ever composed imo

[@Javiproductionz]

@ absolutely 💯

[@Jason-ml2px]

I play that on repeat so much. Absolutely ridiculous how good that part is

[@killianodwyer6507]

Everytime I listen to this band its like someone hit my reset button. I will travel to see their next tour.

[@takonasu4217]

Flourish into 1979 was the best thing happend in history

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

Bet

[@germanantonio2822]

Exactly this.

[@RODD66]

The Contortionist,one more reason to live 🙏🏻❤️

[@AttilaG-f1l]

❤

[@majicks.musick]

Absolutely honored to say this band is from the city I live in ❤ Indianapolis

[@AlexSaints-t2k]

This whole set gave me goosebumps!! I love this band so muchh!

[@JUSTMAKI.]

Esta banda me ayudó a sobrellevar un periodo terrible de mi vida. Los quiero mucho The Contortionist, son muy importantes para mi:')

[@djguzzy10]

i have been patiently waiting for new music from them. so this'll do

[@bork750]

Thanks for sharing this! It's amazing. 24:15 - 26:45 is always my favorite part

[@lukasdiwoky5]

the thrive into solipsis transition was my favorite live-moment ever when o saw that a few years ago. i like how this has become a thing even nowadays.

[@lazarpetkovic7993]

this is the only good thing that happened to me today, and it's more than enough to make it not a bad day. your music is so powerful.

[@Ebbnfl0wMedia]

Thank you for blessing us with the footage. I love to SEE you guys play just as much as I love to HEAR it. Can’t wait for you guys to return. Nothing but blessings towards all of you ❤

[@LouisR56]

Greatest gift ever, I love you guys

[@looking_glass2022]

Amazing music to rock out to during this Great Awakening process. Contortionist = truly blessed. Jesus is Lord

[@maestrocam1138]

This band. This sonic experience. Incredible.

[@maiiburwell270]

Immaculate **chef's kiss**

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Remember watching the set with my mate around 4 AM outside after hanging out (Europe moment) and losing our shit at how good you guys sounded! Super happy seeing all three sets get uploaded here, baller move. Alongside Kendrick's sudden album drop as well haha!

[@jesseradloff9306]

I will forever scream from the mountaintops that The Contortionist are the best prog band in the world. They just have the magic.

[@vikaskumarojha8898]

Masters of their arts, contortion between heavy and mellow music is so good and all the ethereal sounds just completes the spectrum

[@MMiniprize]

I fucking love this band

[@yurimolfarUA]

this mix sounds so good, especially guitars levels and gain, so balanced

[@drdirtysauceusa]

I don't know how to explain how much I love this.

[@МихаилСажаев-щ7й]

Pure magic.

[@chasecody6004]

Them doing the opposite pinch harmonics at the start of language 2 is so fucking sick

[@mesa_gg]

imagine sounding this good

[@VincenzoRYL]

cant wait to hear something new from you guys

[@zp577]

Was having an ultra shitty day and wanting to throw in the towel today, and it popped up in my recommended. Sad it took 3 days to do so, but it's almost like the universe knew i'd need it right now. Thank you Contortionist. Can't wait to see what ya'll have been cooking. Know things have been rough for ya'll in life lately, hang in there broskis.

[@dam0nt]

Come on guys, it's been so long, you have to come back!

[@JulienHauspie]

This is a ridiculously high standard for live set recordings, I'm so in love with all the small changes in these live versions as well! Hope to see you guys live in Belgium again someday!

[@stcmattb]

@43:25 is still one of my most favorite sections of any prog song

[@dojo4712]

Please....please...make new music. You guys are my favorite band and some of the most talented musicians on the planet. But this is great. Thank you for posting this

[@Bruddahwill]

Just discovered these guys a month ago or so. Am absolutely blown away. Almost in tears watching this. So awesome haha

[@picassino]

When you've had a really rough day and you are blessed with this... thank you so much guys ❤

[@PrimordialYT]

Begin, cooking in the kitchen Restock, our utensils All natural ingredients Turn on the stove and add in the sauce It's integral We will be the salvation, of flavour

[@Prognosticate]

Loved seeing the Ibanez's and Helix. Cleans and grows are incredible live, blown away. I normally prefer the records, but this live performance rocks.

[@OneMorningSongs]

This is a dream. Thank you guys.

[@Dracula_sb]

I love y'all, I'm new to the band and I can't wait for new stuff

[@Regalado_Aspic]

I miss you so much guys!

[@Hoojo]

Dear god, Solipsis... I've heard it so many times but this..I wasn't ready. Unbelievable.

[@davej582]

Bro I remember to this day getting absolutely rocked the first time I heard it, one of the best musical experiences of my life hearing Intrinsic for the first time

[@duncanmaclennan4230]

the greatest to ever do it, hands down.

[@Unanythang]

47:29 I feel healed now. I fuggin love you guys.

[@drlipschitzz2273]

God damn goosebumps 🤘 45:40

[@DannySarbs]

I don't even own a vinyl player, but I think I'll order this box set and ask for a player this Christmas! This is absolutely fantastic and I hope you guys release new material soon!

[@chrisbarker8513]

Man I need a new album from you guys!

[@Keegbot]

I’m a guy who would really love to see TC live again.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

Bucket list deal for me... Exoplanet changed it all for me.

[@OutrunTheSunlight]

Glad to finally be able to rewatch this.

[@Protester23]

we are blessed to have you in our timeline!

[@shabado0]

Best band in the world. Objective fact. Simple What Eric does at the end of Thrive here, it is sending me. Didn’t think it was possible for that song to get any better

[@Hiei999]

Lol, this is not what I wanted to do today, but I cannot stop watching

[@nichan2475]

The end to Language is amazing, spine-tingling.

[@irishdrums4753]

Just listened to my 2024 Apple Music replay, I made your top 500 listeners in 2024. Hope you all have a happy holiday! Cannot wait for the new album….

[@riffsNriffsNriffs]

It still blows my mind what y’all have evolved into….I’m more of a tech-death kinda dude, but these songs are so fuckin’ interesting….they’re just haunting

[@JNaysh]

How is this the first time I'm hearing of this?!?!?!?!

[@psb69]

this goes so hard

[@kandigutsz]

i absolutely adore 0:00 - 57:01

[@DiffractingThought]

Great songs, great mix, great performance! Happy to see you guys pop up again - been following you since Exoplanet!

[@Mark-ym7ig]

absolutely amazing. can't wait for new releases...

[@tel5690]

Stellar Performance Gentlemen

[@germanantonio2822]

1979 sang by Mike hits different. Makes me cry every single time.

[@dumpygolf]

I can't wait to have this on repeat for the next few months again. This is pretty fucking special. I'm a long time fan and I really hope these guys come back. Would love to golf with you dudes if you're into it.

[@JoshDLCTR]

Yes!! I have the Vinyl set all on display that I just put up! Thank you guys for this… hope you and your families are all doing well.

[@Ryo7_7]

Yes! My favorite band. 🤘

[@TrebeL_]

Would love to own this on dvd/blu-ray.

[@surrealducks]

Seconded!

[@vandal214]

geocentric confusion always makes me cry like a baby. i love this band so much. no comparison.

[@paquotl]

thanks for uploading it!

[@kaiactual3328]

I've seen The Contortionist perform 3-4 times in Indianapolis. I've spent some time getting to know them before and after shows. They are all great people.

[@Futuris_]

We’re so back

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

New material confirmed?!

[@YetAnotherDrumChannel]

This is putting a big smile on my face. Thank you so much! ❤

[@Hiei999]

The way they do Thive live should have been the way it was on the album, damn that gap is insanely enhancing.

[@vicethehawk1]

I keep coming back to this set because the intro is the most spiritual thing i've ever experienced.

[@ambroseember6392]

You all are so tight live. this is some excellent work!

[@theHumanBryno]

The first song I ever hear by The Contortionist was Flourish (back in the MySpace days...) and instantly loved the tune. Then I checked out Last Chance To Reason because they were touring together, then I got to see them perform within walking distance of where I lived at the time. Pretty cool to have Mike in the band now and to listen to Flourish again, but live in awesome quality. I've missed these guys.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

O I memba

[@Leviplaysdrums]

Speechless

[@Peter_Joshua]

Finally, it's been a while mate.

[@MetalandMGS]

Super stoked to see the vids for these are finally getting uploaded officially; not being able to watch these was so sad. Y'all are forever GOATS in the prog scene, and metal scene at large. I hope for many more years of The Contortionist, and here's to whatever new stuff you guys put out!

[@bhbuzzco7719]

This box set, i am finding myself listening to it from beginning to end like everyday and this band is amazing just get stuck in your brain in a very good way! Feeling it everytime!

[@GrizzGaming38]

I'm so happy they still play Integration, it's literally my favorite song by them!

[@gabriels.novaes3511]

YESSSS, I MISSED IT SO MUCH!!! Thank you guys, sincerly! Much love from Brazil.

[@СергейЯрош-ъ6п]

Oh my God!!! Greetings from Asia! Kazakhstan! We love you very much!! I'm actually a big fan.)) I was very worried that there was no news!! You're finally back!!!

[@osvaldolopez6109]

Oh my Jesus that was massive

[@Besyl]

This was LIVE?! Sheeeeeeesh...

[@AmplifyAmbition]

I've been looking for this set for 3+ years. Thank you guys so much for posting it!

[@CoralineBassJones]

I can't believe it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! ❤❤❤
