Is this Band older than, Plini, Intervals, sithu Aye, CHON etc? Because if they in-fact Are older, i think its safe to say this band birthed the lot of them, or deeply inspired and birthed the sounds from them because man, the Contortion is deep in playing AND in lyrics

If you want to listen to them, try starting with Februus and listen from start to finish, than listen to La Partition. My favorite songs from them personally are Our Embrace, Lover, and Quittance.

Yesterday, I was introduced to "The Contortionist" and I now find myself deeply appreciating their music. This particular song - "Language I: Intuition" - evokes the essence of a timeless tale - intricate, thrilling, sensual. It’s truly astounding that such musical gems remain undiscovered by many - yet I feel immensely fortunate to have unearthed this band. The complexity and allure of their compositions captivate my senses, leaving an indelible impression that resonates deeply within me. This discovery feels akin to finding a hidden treasure amidst a sea of mediocrity. I am sincerely grateful for the music and the emotions it evokes. Thank you for this extraordinary musical experience! (20/6/2024)

Although I love Periphery, these guys stole the show on that tour.

With some help from my brother, I come back with some recommendations. Forgive me if I mention obvious one's that you've already discovered. Animals as Leaders, Haken, and The Faceless are good places to start. And actually The Contortionist fits this too, they tend to be a bit heavier than this song on average.

Apart from this song being an absolute masterpiece, I also love how you can actually see how they enjoy playing it. These genuine smiles tell you they don't want to show off or pose as the great musicians they are, but they just love playing the music and appreciate how it all comes together as art. I don't know why I wrote this, but it just seems like a very unique thing for a music video.

I remember relaxing in bed with future ex wife and hatching a devious plan to play a heavy-ass death metal song to annoy her. I couldn't remember the title, but I knew an earth shattering one by some band called The Contortionist popping up earlier, so I played the first one I could find on KZbin, and it was the most gorgeous mistake I ever made.

Yesterday, I went to see Tesseract in NY. There were 4 bands playing. The Contortionist were the best by FAR and in every possible way. Excellent performance, excellent sound... everything simply excellent. 10/10 to me. The best live show I've ever seen. ... And I've seen Dream Theater, Steve Vai, Iron Maiden and you know, a bunch of these "heavy weights" in the rock/metal world.

Ryan Wilkerson Didn't say it didn't have any good songs. Also perhaps my expectation of the CD was a little too high and also was expecting something different. I am all for bands changing their sound and evolving which they did on Intrinsic, but I just found it harder to enjoy from start to finish whereas with Exoplanet, just every song is spectacular (in my opinion of course).

Ryan Wilkerson If you want life-changing, listen to the outros from Flourish or Exoplanet, and the intro to Exoplanet III. They brought Intrinsic to its knees because of the music and the SCOPE of the lyrics; one is not complete without the other
