Starting out as a (quite heavy but atmospheric) progressive deathcore band (often referred to as "spacecore" because of their space-orientated lyrics), they have shifted towards a more "radio friendly" sound over the last few years. With their latest (2014) album "Language I: Intuition" gaining lots of positive perception, there's little doubt they will change this direction for their upcoming full-length album "Clairvoyant", slated for September 15th.
Isn’t this just a repackaging of Muse? boy KROQ will eat this up…
Youve obviously never listened to any of this band’s music
He’s right though… it’s a far cry from the brilliance of Exoplanet.
Instead of judging what the album will be like based on 1 or 2 songs, go listen to their studio update #1 on YouTube and listen to the song they play a sample of. I bet u change your mind real quick. Probably heavier than possibly anything on Language. And I love Language. Also, there’s a review out now that gives a good description of each song and the album as a whole. And it got a 9.3 out of 10.
Well, I was also referring to their latest output… which everyone seems to love, by I personally detest. I doubt this one will hardly be any different.
Oh, and Joey’s drum work seems to be more technical and insane than ever. Which is saying a lot.
More like A Perfect Circle
They sound nothing like Muse whatsoever
I personally love the direction they are going with this album and think that it will be their best yet.
wow, sounds good.
We need 1 more song before the album drops to keep us occupied in the meantime. They released 1 in June and 1 in July and I thought for sure they were going to release 1 this month. Still have a week left in August so it could still happen, but I’m dying to get this album!!

new one up an hour ago
Yeah I saw it pretty quick & thought it was funny I had just posted about it the day before. Return To Earth is good but not great for me. It could be much better. As much as I miss the screams, I’m okay with them not being there cuz of Michael’s vocal ability, although I hope the rest of the album will have at least some screams. That being said, he’s not using his ability thus far, no where near his potential. Return To Earth in particular is so vocally monotone. I get that the mood of the song is kind of somber but damn. I really hope the rest of the album has some of his amazing soaring vocals like The Source from Language for example. Fingers crossed. Still pumped and confident that all that will be in there though.
A new one “Return to Earth” is going to drop today!
I need this! Language on repeat isn’t cutting it anymore!
I can’t wait for this album… Language was perfect and I have not stopped listening to it and I believe that this album will be even greater and easily surpass Language (for me at least). Well only 8 days now till the release, I cant wait!!
5.7/10 ? Maybe I’m a minority here, but I feel like the album is top notch. 9/10 for me.
Yeah, I agree. I’d give it an 8.5 probably. So many people are just so immature and, well..dumb. They call themselves fans and then do things like downvote the hell out of an album cuz the “ARTISTS” didn’t do what they wanted. Which is to rehash Exoplanet again and again, or use screams, etc. They also say it’s not prog anymore or it’s mainstream, trying to be radio friendly. Bullshit. The Contortionist, as well as this album, is the very definition of prog; musically, technically, and stylistically. None of this would ever make it to radio, and I doubt The Contortionist would ever want their music to be. Sorry. People just annoy me. Either you’re a fan or not. Fair weather fans piss me off.
they should have changed the name of the band after intrinsic :P
Their name is perfect, every album is different, they literally contort their style and every song they write is amazing!
The Contortionist should have changed their name because they contorted musically?
…….lol.
