[@EricGuenther]

we did it boys

[@skulhedface2112]

Thank you, homie 🙏

[@FryzleFry]

Can’t wait for the new album

[@nicpayne8258]

🥳

[@moviemakingismagic2735]

The Earth is healing

[@oknice343]

Eric’s synth work at the end is just insane dude

[@ericwisel4015]

3:10 onward is pure ecstasy. It’s the meaning of existence, nothing in the world evokes such emotion

[@stevenfuller6148]

Best version of the song by far I can't even make it through the day without listening to this song on repeat

[@spineless_]

Agreed 100%

[@dylanlundgren]

One of the best tracks off of Intrinsic hands down

[@MJ-vd8bj]

My favorite with Dreaming Schematics

[@dylanlundgren]

@Esoteric Enigma lmao intrinsic is definitely my favorite, but I honestly love seeing and hearing the new directions too

[@dylanlundgren]

@@MJ-vd8bj solid choice

[@DEADN8]

Agreed!

[@HalfStepTides]

That bass tone in the clean tapping section is crushing me right in the sack.

[@josevelajr]

lol

[@maness2112]

This song has everything.

[@vaxali]

This is hands down the best version of this song.

[@Misbeliefz]

Yeah, and it isn't even close.

[@wrouxmer]

I would have to agree

[@oldjackrustler9302]

This song has helped me through the worst times of my life. Thank you.

[@gavinclark2786]

me too man. Me too...

[@guidobalestri]

Me too! 🧡

[@cbaseball07]

Absolutely. After the death of a friend The contortionist made me feel comfortable with my feelings and work through them. I will always be grateful 🥲

[@user-zz3fg5qu7s]

Me 3@@gavinclark2786

❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kielsol]

This song hold such a deep importance to me. The way it drives you so low and just ascends, it brings me to tears almost every time. I lost my dog last year, she was my best friend, she showed up when I needed her the most, helped me find my path, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her. I try my hardest to honor what she's done for me and be grateful for the memories. This song always a good reminder. "Please do not miscalculate my tone, I speak with humility Soon you will find your confidence misplaced The answers are greater than we can imagine I know you... you're scared to be on your own... I'll always be there for you" 💛

[@alexcabrera6817]

Bro, fuck off to anyone who discredits your best friend that was a dog. My best friend was a dog, and she knew my every emotion. She loved me unconditionally, she vibed with me, she was truly my best friend. It didn't matter the way the day was, she followed me in glee, my shadow. I had to put her down because she was attacked by a pit. The same pit she grew up with; that pit owned by my mother. I TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD, applied for credit even, yet was denied. I had to ask a friend to pay for her cremation. I have never EVER been so heartbroken. I have lost a lot of family members, but little Charlie hurt so much more. I went home and sobbed for an hour. How was I supposed to protect you, provide for you but I couldn't even afford the surgery?! That was 6 years ago, and I still tear up to this day. I have never had a connection like that, human or animal, to this day. I will never replace her, but the bittersweet memories make me smile. Lets me know unconditional understanding and love truly does exist. My hearts to you brother

[@stevenfuller6148]

My mom I understand bro and I'm here

[@yorrgh]

My favorite Contortionist song EVER. So happy you guys shared this.

[@TheFlatPancakeTheory]

The vocals were so good on this! Amazing work

[@EthanTeaDrumming]

I've always wanted to hear Michael on this track. Absolutely incredible.

[@tel5690]

Saw them live back in 2016 This is exactly what you see and hear. Very intense band and visually amazing..

[@cfaibah]

Please release a DVD or at least a compact disk format of these shows and i'll throw money at the screen

[@rvalle11]

man you guys are genuinely the most talented band on this earth. It does not matter what anyone says. Holy shit I hope you guys get all the fame and fortune you desire from music as well as the recognition and place in time with these ballads man.

[@DriveSMR]

That groove at the end tho….just let it ride for days

[@Jason-ml2px]

Play that shit as they lower my casket into the ground

[@MetalOfAllOwns]

00:38 has to be one of the greatest riffs ever written, and then the end of the song.. This is a MASTERPIECE. I'm so happy I saw you guys at least once in my life!

[@AlexQuaglieri]

My favorite shit ever is when you guys drop to the low G# at 1:50. Such a great release of tension

[@Sputnik34]

The entire last half of this song fills me with an ethereal euphoria

[@metaltyrann]

Same.. its pure bliss 🥲

[@meepmaster12]

This is the best version of this song by far holy shit

[@jakecalrow]

I am begging for a remix + remaster of Intrinsic. That record IS the best prog album made period. Way way way ahead of its time.

[@cactuss33ds]

rerecord with michael on vox?

[@zipperdoodledee]

Absolutely!@@cactuss33ds

[@TonyCruz_Music]

​@@cactuss33ds it's hard to say. I prefer Jonathan's harsh vocals over Michaels, but Michaels clean voice is leagues beyond the former. Biggest wish would be Michael on clean and have Johnathan reunite as harsh vocalist for an intrinsic redux

[@timmyb8694]

They just need to release the livestreams already. It's literally insanity that they haven't been marketed...

[@BtheShiados13]

This is absolutely amazing. This is my favorite album by them and i used to play it on repeat for the longest time while i delivered pizzaa.. Brings back good memories.

[@oknice343]

I screen recorded this track from the live stream and I’ve been listening to it daily for the last year and a half lol

[@MomentaiGuy]

This live stream was such a gift. These new versions with Michael are honestly hauntingly good 😭

[@necrophagist00]

The end of this song makes me tear up every time ❤️🤘🏻

[@wrouxmer]

Simply a Masterpiece. Wow

[@metaltyrann]

I got this live version on repeat to the point where I physically and mentaly am addicted to this song. Pure love, hard to describe that feeling otherwise

[@alexk5025]

This mix is absolutely insane.

[@Lekusstratus]

From 3:10 to the end is pure bliss

[@dylanmalliaaudio]

Mike killed it on this, love to hear him take on earlier songs

[@taylorrusso5770]

Please play this the next time you're on tour. This is the one song I want to see before I die

[@dayseeking768]

I NEED CONTORTIONIST TO DROP A LIVE ALBUM SO MUCHHHHHH

[@spineless_]

Mike’s lows are godlike. Love this band so much.

[@edpilon8595]

Something about this song in particular has really stood out to me for 10 years now. It's humbling yet so empowering at the same time.

[@mrwaddlekirby]

Greatest band in the world...

[@Javiproductionz]

The best song 🤌🏽🔥 Intrinsic is my all time favorite album

[@titanfabulousunicyclerolle8368]

I just subscribed to this band this morning and in the night they just posted first videos in months

[@lanidrac]

One of my favorite songs ever

[@spooty75]

Probably my favourite track off of my favourite Contortionist record. The latter half is just bliss :)

[@infoletlolgg]

[@rawrcalumx]

Where's the rest of this live stream gig? It was on KZbin with 50K views and now it's gone. I used to listen to it daily last year. Best live sound you guys ever had of exoplanet and intrinsic.

[@Pantera411]

I actually hadn't heard this in a few years.. it made me ball my eyes out like a 6 year old having a tantrum.

[@s-sugoi835]

This song helped me through the worst shit in my life.

[@fidenciomadrigal2157]

Bring back the more aggressive contortionist this is so amazing

[@thezogs95]

💯💯💯💯🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@v12kid]

wow

[@thomasslattery8993]

I write you today because I have been so mentally abused I am abstinent. About 11 years ago a chain of events triggered some sort of total eclipse of my life. My best friend at the time quit my rock band because he was more interested in his girlfriend and solo work. I was also dating a girl who just cut off ties with me saying that she was going to die of cancer. She had a huge scar on her back so I thought she was telling the truth and still don't know. I also fell off a 14 ft ladder working part time for the DOE and they reccomended light duty for the rest of my life after a small settlement with no lawyer. I'm always in pain and I'm permanantly partially disabled in my back stuck working odd jobs. After this happened I made several solo albums of my guitar, drum programming and sometimes singing. I started hearing weird people saying "We got our miracle" and "aren't you glad I was recording?" while rehearsing. Nothing ever came of my music, though I had been at it since 14, and my back injury caused many breaks. Around this time I started getting fired like crazy. Job after job lost after just a few months of working. The reasons were all very vague. It usually started with one person picking a fight with me over and over despite my calm cool responses. Years went by and my family started doubting me and eventually disowned me not to mention I never got any girls. I started working security in the last few years and things turned around temporarily but people started interupting my guitar constantly like they had an ear in. I got a big promotion at my first security job but my manager vanished leaving me to get fired by the new manager. He fired me after a janitor threatened and poisoned me all on camera. I'm still confused to this day why they chose him over me. Just before Covid 19 and after the janitor issue my dad evicted me. I had no place to live and got stuck in my car. After a few months I texted a bunch of stupid stuff to my family for disowning me because we used to be close and play board games. They acted appalled and further disowned me even pressing charges and filing restraining orders. As the youngest they abused me mentally my whole life then just played coy. Previous to the eviction I kept hearing my dad saying all this weird stuff like "If I don't do this, he's going to be a wannabe his whole life". Eventually I moved into a 4x8 room, at the bottom of a house, where I couldn't even stand or play my computer or guitar. The landlord went nuts on me because I said I liked metal but I didn't like older metal bands. He started calling me derogatory terms and a poser everyday. He made rat poison threats, eviction threats and said he was going to put my belonggings on the curb while I was on the way to the work over next to nothing. I can't even remember what made him mad. At this time I started getting attention from famous musicians on Instagram. I got famous follows and comments from Born Of Osiris members. I also got likes from Despised Icon and Circa Survive. Everytime I tried to make a video at this time people slammed stuff or reved car engines. I made the mistake of telling my landlords about the famous follows and the sonic attacks doubled. I ended up having mysterious liver damage. I was dizzy for months and said all this crazy stuff online to Pom Klementief. I had a dream that was too real where my landlord was using me to "warm up" his wife. I barred my door overnight and they started slamming stuff super hard above my head. I sent them a guitar solo and the landlord poured piss on my head and air guitared at me. The police told me to leave for my safety. I moved out into my car again. This time I got assaulted twice but somehow it got turned on me. One time by a hotel owner for asking advice for the attacks while rehearsing. Instead of a hallmark response he said I was 5150 crazy. I hadn't stayed and I asked for my money back. He put me in a series of headlocks and wall slams before returning my cash and charging me with battery. The second assault was this crazy guy trying to open my car door and reaching through my window. He was washing 3 young kids old enough to walk and talk naked right in front of my car. I asked him to stop then he went nuts. I also spit on a glass wall at a mart after a strange hick transplant employee banned me over not having a mask right at the beginning of the epidemic. My car broke down and I missed court for the assaults. They offered to reschedule but didn't. I was arrested without a chance to turn myself in, jailed for two weeks and forced to plea guilty to things I didn't do. If not I'd have to spend 30 days in jail. After the police told me to leave the crazy landlord's house for my safety people began attacking me in crazy ways aside from those two assaults. Every video game i play gets hacked. Every phone I have gets hacked. Everytime I rehearse guitar someone revs engines so loud I can't hear my guitar. My guitar is electric and only I can hear it so I don't understand why they care. People keep subtly break checking me if I look left or right. I keep getting these weird barely audible heckles just before video game hacks, break checks, rehearsing guitar or just talking aloud in my car or on my computer. I can't get any momentum in anything I do. I tried to get banned from Instagram to end the jealous engine revs but the revs never stop. I said every politically incorrect thing possible. I love America for our social and technological innovations but I'm not a taboo hunting conservative. My father and the crazy landlord were conservatives and they ruined me. Liberals are too sensative for me especially in art like movies and comedy. I've tried to move into 2 different places since the crazy landlord but everyone is so loud I can't hear my music even with headphones and my SWTOR gets hacked so hard I cry literally. I've never done a bad thing in my life. Now I'm cut off from work, play, music, art and movies. Please help me. They stole my guitar. I've been in the car 3 years. I can't find work.

[@ElSwanman]

Guys, please inform me of where i can purchase this whole set. It was uploaded illegally but removed now i think. It is my favourite ever performance of these songs. I would love to be able to watch the set on repeat.

[@TheBli7krieg]

When the digital version will be available?
