This was my favorite album for several years when it first came out.. absolutely incredible
What album took it's place eventually? 👀
greatest deathcore album of all time? if you were to ask me, I’d say yes instantly. I love the later contortionist work too - it’s calm and contemplative - but this album just… fucks. it fucks hard.
STAMP THIS WITH A CERTIFIED YES.
Those guys broke deathcore all the way back in 2009 and then went on to do other genres, gotta love that level of disrespectful
masterpiece of a concept album, this and colors was a gateway into extreme metal for me
This album still remains one of the greatest musical treasures in the history of anything ever created. Absolute perfection. It was so amazing watching The Contortionist perform this album in its entirety. One of the best experiences ever.
This album and Language are truly incredible. I got to see them play both of these albums front to back last year and it was a religious experience
I feel you, man. A night to never forget.
Gotta love exoplanet, it’s what got me into the contortionist. But come on guys let’s give Intrinsic some love. Such a unique trippy album. Very underrated.
Intrinsic has my favorite Contortionist song ever written, Causality. It deserves just as much credit as this beautiful boy.
@@Birdseed99 causality! Definitely one for the best songs from them. I’ve replayed godspeed the most so I’d say that’s my favorite song from them
@@Cornchps827 Godspeed is a fantastic song.
Its probably one of my favorite albums of all time, but it seems hard to recommend with the production quality. People have always complained about the quality which is probably why its not as popular as their other albums. I wish it would get remastered but I'm not sure they have/own the masters. It was a real treat seeing many of those songs performed by Mike on the Language tour though.
@@Birdseed99Fellow Causality enjoyer, how do you do 🤘🤘🤘 I’ve only gotten to see them once a couple years after Language came out and I lost my shit when they played it.
Every year this is one of those albums I take an hour to listen too beginning to end for what a beautiful space metal opera it is. Its construction serves not only a musical role, but as essentially sound effects of a space ship making its transit through space, like the alarms, the thrusters and engines, and the overall spacey atmosphere. What a beautiful piece of art.
And yeah that ending half of Flourish really is something incredible.
One of my favorite bands. Language is in my top 5 albums of all time.
Oh my god he finally did it. This album and Intrinsic were the gateway to so much for me. Exoplanet still remains in my top 5 concept albums
Man this was my go to album when it released along with Substructure - Monolith. It’s still my favorite EP to date so if you want something like this I fully recommend that one!
my favs from the era
The good ol'djent era
Both of those albums and silhouettes from Textures where the perfect trio for me, could just listen to them on loop and literally jam it all the way everytime 😂
This band transformed prog metalcore/deathcore into what it is today. They are a huge influence.
flourish was some of my earliest heavy prog, that song in particular makes me so nostalgic. it opened my ears to the massive beautiful sound that heavy instrumentals can provide
Drew, you better get the fucking people in Patreon to recommend for poll for The Contortionist’s Clairvoyant (2017). You won’t regret it.
Edit: throw everything you just heard from Exoplanet out the window and Language musically. It’s a journey and conceptually emotional.
The Contortionist are one of my favorite bands ever. So cool to see so much love for all their albums.
this made me go back and look for their first e.p. again and its not on spotify or theyre youtube channel :( the first e.p. was like an entirely different the contortionist but you can still to this day hear where it all started in that e.p. HIGHLY recommend i believe its called "shapeshifter" red cover.
oh and the apparation e.p.
You can still find it on youtube i just listened to it the other day its just not on their official channel
@@TrealFOET ya i found it right after i finished typing this haha both e.p.'s are just too good
The apparition EP will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like it's a very raw version of the Exoplanet sound(I mean it pretty much is lol) but nothing else quite has the same sound or feel as Apparition did.
happy to see you like Flourish, it's one of my all time favorites. The whole album is amazing
Fucking incredible album. Language is their crown jewel to most people (including me) but this hits different, especially Flourish
Love this album. When I first listened to it a few years ago, it reminded me of older BTBAM. Although Clairvoyant is my favorite of theirs, Exoplanet will always have a special place in my heart since it was the first thing I’d heard.
Learning to play the instrumental song Axiom is one of the funnest songs to play for me. Very interesting and beautiful little track. This album is in my top 3 all time albums.
literally watched them play these songs for the first times at some of the shittiest venues here where they are from in Indiana. amazing to see how far they have come and continue to go. TC forever ❤
Im glad you liked this if i remember correctly you were kinda iffy about Language and honestly i was too i had to revisit it like 3 times before i fully got it but this album and before it i loved but now i love all of their work they have always been ahead of the curve imo 🤷🏾♂️
Clairvoyant next!!!!! Super modern and more chill/dark their last full length back in 2017
Easily one of my top albums of all time. 19 year old me was ALL ABOUT THIS
If you don't mind annoying requests (I'm sure you get tons). Neural Union from the band Aegaeon is my all time Deathcore Prog song. A lot of people whine about the 'one-dimensional' vocals (mostly only growls) but that belongs to the band basically, it's a feature not a defect. Has like one reaction overall and I don't understand why. Big atmospheric vibes
Aegaeon is so good. much love Indiana metal ❤
This album was my soundtrack for 2010 and 2011. Amazing album !
Flourish is hands down 100% my all time favourite song. I mean, look at my name 😂
album is forever on top for me.
Jon Carpenter is one hell of a vocalist, his screams have so much punch
Ah Flourish touches my soul everytime
It’s one of the most brutal yet beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
You HAVE to do intrinsic. I’ve commented it a couple times. Top ten album all time for sure.
Just gotta say… This album, a handful of powerful psilocybin, a laser projector in a dark bedroom = Otherworldly divine experience.
If you haven't heard Sybreed. I would recommend listening to Antares album. Love you're content sir.
Clairvoyant is a must after this
THE best band of all time
clairvoyant reaction when >:)
Still my favorite prog album after all these years
One of the best debuts of all time.
Hey Drew do Protest the Hero Kezia, their debut and still their best work.
Goddamn I hate what they did to this masterpiece in the redux version. The original is perfect.
