Love this so much! Anytime I get to see my son sing it’s a good day! #thatsmyboy❤️❤️❤️

He’s the best😍😍😍

1:56 ❤❤❤

[@arynnritter4293]

This is my favorite version.

[@frank00nixon]

2:55 how this "simple" solo is so much more powerful than most shred / sweep solos out there

[@OHG1997]

Sometimes less really is more. For me, personally, it has to do with the fact that it feels more alive and ambient. The fast picking tremolo is almost like an organic scream coming from the guitar. Unfortunately, many shred/sweep solos feel either disjointed or just too stale, like they're practicing a scale.

[@bjornedvardsson5510]

Cameron lives every note. He is one with the music.

[@aftaabhussain4404]

Michael Lessard's voice is too pure for my soul to handle

[@koc0090]

I had to come back every day, this recording is unreal.

[@MachineShopLive]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@KRAPYBARA84]

I love Cameron’s guitar face 🤟 rly feelin it

[@tidalahmadraqeebr.7339]

Between objectivity and subjectivity, language, introspection and reflection; you guys are philosophizing with your music. Thank you, from the cloud of my existence.

[@cinderling5472]

Aki Tidal Aptly put and I'd like to agree ☝️

[@yanaxc2393]

Amen brother

[@LucresntBlade]

2:56 NOT LONG ENOUGH !!! LOL So Majestic and Smooth with that Badass Drummer And BASSIST

[@brendenlegault5897]

I've always had a really strong emotional bond with this band. I teared up at 3:16 because I sing that part with the same variation when I am singing to the album version. This is a band that creates a meditative space that is easy to enter, and easy to share.

[@aebious8886]

I had shivers run down my spine

[@Hoojo]

2:56 Chills man. You guys are the real thing. Truly unbelievable music.

[@leonardofarias1]

one of the greatest moments in the history of live music. Literal chills. 🤟

[@johnyRoyC]

Mike's got the best pipes in the business!

[@athalized428]

2:56 - just melts my heart every fricking time. Damn I love this band so much, and this production is crystal clear!

[@nickkesich9160]

Same here dude. I can listen to that part on repeat for hours.

[@maness2112]

I always felt that sounded al little muddy. The whole cd needs to be remixed imo.

[@jakesklodowski9321]

So damn good! Production is absolutely killer!

[@MachineShopLive]

Thank you!

[@jakesklodowski9321]

Machine Shop Live 🤘

[@mountainofsound]

Jesus the effects were sent from god The production is insane Everything about this is just superb Machine Shop let me intern and learn the way of the master!

[@arkk_drifter]

Mike's voice is absolutely heavenly. Unreal performance!!!

[@jinxpoop]

this song has almost been the soundtrack to my life for the past year. actually, it's almost been a year exactly since i found the contortionist on spotify. such an amazing band...i've never heard music like this before that connects to my soul so much. i've been through a breakup, breakdowns, travelling the world and being stuck at home with this band. it's like i'm hearing someone sing to my soul every time i listen. please never stop making music

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

I still remember when these guys were deathcore! Awesome band! Its amazing to see how theyve changed! I wish they would play their song 'Integration' more. That song has some of the craziest random ass breakdowns that i love so much.

[@KRAPYBARA84]

So bummed I couldn’t go to the concert last night cuz of the corona! Really glad they’re uploading these 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[@ckokomo808]

Same here! Hopefully they can get a tour going when things have cleared up!

[@MachineShopLive]

Glad we can fill that spot for ya❤️

[@KRAPYBARA84]

Machine Shop Live you’re doing the lords work lol 😍

[@Jordy666sic]

Damn great work on the added effects. Ear candy listening to this on nice headphones/speakers.

[@ckokomo808]

Jordy really like the synths and keyboard coming through so strongly.

[@Jin_Raiden]

I will never get tired of seeing these guys live over the years. Just amazing quality all around.

[@davejolly582]

Same, I've lost count now but I think I've seen them somewhere around 8 times lol. They are always amazing but the 2 part tour they did about a year or so ago was the best performance I've ever seen by them. Finally got to see Monochrome: Pensive live! Now if we can just get this Exoplanet anniversary tour! 😁

[@Jin_Raiden]

Dave Jolly same I’ve been seeing them a bit over a decade live through almost every vocalist change and one thing I will say is that they sure know how to pick great replacements when one leaves. Their music always progresses and stands the rest of time. Great band all around. An exoplanet anniversary would be lovely.

[@davejolly582]

@@Jin_Raiden Yeah I was super bummed to see Carpenter leave but Lessard was a perfect replacement. Btw Carpenter is getting close to releasing a solo album under the name Foreign Waves that concludes the Exoplanet and Intrinsic story lines. Been waiting on this thing to drop for like 7 years now lol. Definitely check it out if you haven't yet.

[@Jin_Raiden]

Dave Jolly Finally!!! Thank you! I will definitely check it out I’m so excited. He was a amazing live too but I agree they’ve always done well with replacements and musicality. Lessard has beautiful clean vocals but his screams are fucking amazing also.

Cameron's "Rock Out" face is one of my favorite things about this video. Met the band a couple times, and he and Mike were the nicest dudes in a band full of nice dudes!
