I love hiking and finding a tree to lay on and look at an open field while listening to this song.
Fuck yeah.
This is the best album from this contortionist in my opinion. I'm glad they lost the whole death core vibe. This just sounds much better. I love their old stuff, but this is one of my most favorite albums ever.
Thank you for disclaiming that you loved the older stuff too. For a second i was like....i hear ya but cmon! No biggie!
But i hear ya. Its different but definitely them enchants me and just as magical in this album in yee ole opinion
@@flynnlivescmd man, I commented this a super long time ago haha but they just keep getting better with time. Absolutely incredible band.
@@jkelly451 Agreed. I got into them well after the birth. Maybe 2014, cause i was lazy and stocked already with much good bands.
But yes, although i dig their attempts at the death metalish stuffs like the ending to dreaming schematics (Sounds like a mix of early mudvayne "lite" mixed with dechristianize by vital remains)
I like that they are now again leaning towards what they are more natural with. It shows. Totally dig it
To all those wanting it to get heavier, this is a "three part song" and if you listen to the last two seconds, it sounds as if it's leading into a heavier set!
They obviously knew what they were doing when releasing this track. It's getting a shit ton of hype, whether good or bad, people are still discussing it and spreading the word. They knew half the fans would love this ambient shit, and the other half would bitch about no "heavy, breakdowns, etc.," and feel stupid when they drop the album and it's a perfect bundle of everything we could ever ask for. Haha. A constant cycle, ebb and flow, of people's-false or correct- preconceived notions of this band, if you will. These niggas know how to hype it up. Ain't no one sleepin' on this album, that's for sure.
also that is why it is called prog
the band did say a little while ago (pre-Intrinsic) that they were trying to not use blatant heaviness or something to that extent. I remember hearing that they were staying away from a deathcore sound.
I agree with you guys 100% i love the direction they are heading, don't worry, just i saw a few posts on how people wish they'd go back to apparition, which i disagree... I LOVED exoplanet, amazing concept album with awesome technical breakdowns, but when intrinsic came out my mind was blown, and i believe a lot of people need to appreciate prog metal more... although heavy is always good! :P
Sadly, it's only a 2 part song. Language I: Intuition & Language II: Conspire. But you are right about it leading into a heavier song. I hope that's the one they release next before the album drops
Just a bunch of Deathcore band logos for the artwork? Interesting...
If you look really closely you can see a tree in the midst of all the logos.
Good eye !
This is literally the best youtube comment ever. haha
Can't be unseen :o
MY SIDES FUCKING OW
That intro is GODLY!
Mike Lessard's vocals are great on this track! The Contortionist just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait for the new album!
This is probably their best song. Stunning all the way through.
Take a shot every time you hear "ebb and flow" on this album.
Mostimpressiveindeed oh no I’m dead 😵
Nearly two minutes in and I swear to god I got a whiff of a cool + slightly pine scented cologne. A nice one.
Not sure if it's because of the song or the fact that i didnt get any sleep at all. Either way, this is still great
It's aliens, no joke! :3
2018 and I'm still dazed in a trance
Edit: me again, 2021 and still in a daze
what about now?
I've always liked The Contortionist for their clean parts, always thought they were lacking something when they go heavy in their music. Loving this new direction and so glad they have a new vocalist.
this never gets old, sends me in a trance everytime i listen.
I have bwen a fan since the first album. These guys write amazing material. I was skeptical when John left the band but they really picked up the pace and the new song is really good. Cant wait for the new album and I hope they get bigger venues, they really deserve to be heard. Great job guys.
Euphoric and intelligent with such finesse, direction; intuition which makes me smile, as I know I share a place in history with this art. Can't wait for the full album!
This is a beautiful song. These guys have come so far it's incredible. Can't wait for the rest of the album.
This band just keeps on blowing my minds. I can't wait to hear the full album!
Andy Shinn "ambidjent?" haha What has this world come to? I mean, feel free to classify it however you see fit. I don't really give a fuck. I just thought that was amusing. Genre wars are a fruitless venture.
***** no
djent is totally a genre Lol i see what u did there.
*****
It's not a technique, it's more a sound, not a technique, maybe a style, but it literally is djent, what it sounds like on guitar.
now what's not to say that it isn't a genre, if people play what sounds like jazz on guitar, it's jazz, it's a style as well as a music type.
Why can't the same be applied to djent. At this point even people like Tosin don't mind or agree that djent can be called a genre yet there are still people that constantly try to point out that it's not.
Blegh ^^^ exactly. There's a difference between djent and progressive. The Contortionist is progressive while bands that are djenty like Vildjharta are djent lol
Yea i agree djent can be a genre, i would not consider The contortionist djent though like you said but it's just annoying when people keep stating that djent is not a genre, meanwhile there's other styles and things you associate sounds to and they're considered genres.
Last two minutes is top class
Don't be afraid of change. This is great songwriting.
Withholding yourself from different things constricts your mind from great things.
Or you could be mindless and stay put.
this is my favorite post hardcore band.. nothing can top this
lol
Please tell me this is a joke comment
TheDevanNicholson what are you talking about
TheDevanNicholson
It probably is a joke, lol.
I3ULL3T96 If it's not a joke, this is actually progressive metal/rock, but since you enjoy it, I don't really care what you call it, lol.
damn thats crunchy
+1 for shiba and nice use of adjectives.
Loved this band since Shapeshifter and they have grown so much more mature from where they started. Can't wait for Language!
song turns awesome after 2:14
Super into this. Objectively the best band ever.
this music is a trip to listen to while on drugs
Music is changing every day. This new song is evolving with u guys. I honestly love it. Prog but in your guys own vision.
this song is simply amazing, especially the beginning.
Epic songwriting and composing returns!
The production level is over 9000
better than I thought it would be
So good.
Contortionist never stop changing it up.
Get it?
I'm fairly certain that was the intention when they ascribed that title to their band.
so excited for this album and to see this guys in october!
This song is amazing!
I cannot wait for this album to drop
LYRICS:
Begin hyper-communication
Restore our vision
Of natural progression
Rise in groves to reclaim the source
The center
We will be the salvation the Mother seeks
Traversing in all directions
Reaching
Expanding
Balance finds it's place
Reaching for the Mother Sun
Rooted to intuition
You are the language
Ever flowing
Ever echoing
Drift with the ebb and flow
Drift with the ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Intuition sets in
Branching out from your seed to seek
Contrived sense of inception
Intuition speak to me
Man this outro is so damn great! amazing riff
Got the leak, already purchased it, just couldn't wait. Timed it and there's only about 17 minutes of vocals for the entire album which is almost 49 minutes long, and most are cleans. Sorry exoplanet fans, but those of you who are fans of where they are headed, it is probably the album of the year. SO GOOD.
Kind of reminds me how only half of Fallujah's new album has vocals.
Reminds me of porcupine tree! Sick. Great job guys.
So good!
This is exquisite.
this is amazing :D
First time hearing this and i already bought it, 10/10
Any other drummers lose their mind at 3:03?
YES
Dude guitarist too!!
That part must have a cool jazzy-flavourished solo
I remember seeing them about a year ago and the band was super tight, even with the new singer.... Although, he had a touch of the crazy eyes... Can't wait to see what else he brings to the new record. September is almost upon us!
This is sick.
Yes, this is cool!
Im really liking their new vibe alot more than intrisic
porcupine tree feelings
Sounds like The Contortionist. High hopes for this. Mike lessard will do a great job. Shroom prog.
Shroom prog hahaha I love it
Poom Shrog
MrSmbass1 Moop Gorhs
this was my magic truffle jam
Thank ox,
fuck i love that little riff at 4:50, wish it played longer
For the love of whatever release another track, I'm dying over here.
Reminiscent of Textures - reaching home.
I could see that. Love that song
I'm really liking Mike Lessard's presence in general. He's just seems much more interesting and dynamic.
WE ARE ALL AWAKENING! MUCH LOVE
0 Dislike, true. How could anyone dislike this ? Just Awesome.
MaKsMusicMendez metal head purists.
This is heavy and fucking amazing.
You every hear anything that sounds like Cynic but is better than Cynic? Because this is great.
Looking forward to the new album guys.Don't be hesitant to create the next Predator...ever.
The Contorcynic yo
New to this band. Kinda feel like its the circa of metal. Call it whatever i love it.
COol stuff I just really want a explanet type of song or two on the album to switch up
nice, reminds me of Being.
well I gave in REPLAY will be used for the next two hours thank you for making love to my ears...
Some guy did this song on a handpand
u guys should check it out its on The Contortionist fb page!
wow this is fucking sick!
That's it. I'm turning myself in to the police.
I've been raping that poor replay button for so long, I feel sorry for it.
SIR! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND STEP AWAY FROM THE MOUSE BUTTON!
I don't get why doing something over and over is considered "raping"
Klo Riley If he's pressing it repeatedly in a violent or chaotic manner then he could be raping in terms of the archaic meaning.
(I.E. violating the button.)
lol, I just pictured him pressing the replay button in "violent or chaotic manner", hahaha, picture it, it's funny!
You should be ashamed of yourself. What has the world come to. SMH!
Favorite song I've heard since exoplanet. Intrinsic was good but this is going to brilliant
Dat bass. Seriously, get your heaphones, it's worth it.
the bass in the rediscovered versions is so on point too
I never really gave it a chance you know...might do that someday!
1min in and this is amazing
let me just say this song literally made me go into some other reality , or it was the three hits of acid on top of it xD
chad holcomb Drugs are bad, mkay.
Why do you turds feel the need to talk about drugs absolutely everywhere you go? Grow up.
@thebigcheese3000 LSD is a little more than 'drugs'. one hit of acid will blow your cabbage right out your ears. i can only imagine listening to this music on a trip.
can someone please explain to me what the progessive genre is? i always hear that word but i dont know that they mean by that.
I hear a lot of cynic in this, kinda jazzy, slow moving, and has you sailing through.
Dunno why but I really like the clean overlapping growl vocals in this song alot.
It was one of my favorite things cynic did.
i couldnt agree more
Right. And some Katatonia
They have a lot of Cynic in their sound. It isn't as obvious in Language, but their first record has some very blatant Cynic worshipping.
I hope they continue making music like this, i love songs like these, just like i loved holomovement. Never been a big fan of their other stuff unfortunately.
a friend led me here. thank you.
yum
Anyone know where to find lyrics for this?
Rad.
Preordering this album. Wasn't quite as gripping as Holomovement was for me when that first came out. But still, this is fantastic.
Also with the way this song ends, I wonder if this album is going to seamless! Would be frickin sweet!!
For me, Exoplanet was the best. They had the hard hitting metal sound with the space vibe. Not that I don't appreciate Intrinsic. Still a badass album.
***** Yea, a lot of people feel the same. The energy is way different. Just something about the way Jonathan Carpenters vocals would glide over the songs in Intrinsic was awesome and sat right with me. Absolutely memorizing.
Nice full mix. No aggression though.
Intuition speak to me..
Why does the unofficial one have so many more views?
i dont like intrinsic.
i dont like exoplanet.
i dont like apparition.
i like THE CONTORTIONIST.
I LOVE ANYTHING they do, i just support them no matter what because they change on every ablum and i love it.
#contorttothathaters
Completely different than Exoplanet but absolutely beautiful
perfection 4:05
Mm.......... Wow.
I've been a bit out of touch with experimental/progressive metal for about a year or so...anybody got any suggestion that'll get me back into it plz?
The Afterimage
Entities, Reflections, Fallujah
After the burial, born of osiris, tesseract, between the buried and me, chon, polyphia, periphery
within the ruins, noise trail immersion, necrophagist, obscura
b-tati within the ruins are not progressive, never heard of noise trail immersion, necrophagist is tech death and so is obscura.
Graycie Raven's profile sent me here when I went looking for her.
feckkk yaa
true proggression
Just in case anyone actually cares for my opinion; there are two things to say about this song other than it's pretty awesome (Which it is)... I wish his clean vocals were a little more dynamic. I also wish the drums were a little more creative from 3:04 to 3:47.
I swear I heard the ending on another contortionist song. Can't remember for the life of me
You should find it and link it. This song ending is a build up to another song.
Maybe the end of oscillator? Sounds kind of similar I guess
Mike Jacobs definitely oscillator. They aren't the same, but similar
Anybody else reminded of Cynic when they listen to this song?
Yep. Definitely.
If you scroll down, there are several comments referring to Cynic, lol.
Sound like the outer limits
The Tool of the 2010s
Digging the cynic influence :))
Why in the hell am i seeing Exoplanet comparisons? Certain parts of the song maybe but even that im leaning towards more Intrinsic. You guys need to do your homework before you come on here leaving comments.
EOne my hate Jesus Christ if they are gonna flag our lord and savior for copyright infringement. Either that or I didn't scroll down far enough.
Also available for preorder from Benchmark Merchandising, great preorder bundles from there! www.shopbenchmark.com/thecontortionist
Do they want to be The Faceless or something? With the whole "complexity" and three part songs? I'll stick to listening to Exoplanet.
Lmao! Yeah, listen to Exoplanet because THAT record doesn't have a three-part song. Go fuck yourself.
I shall fuck myself! But not because you told me to. Idk I just think Exoplanet was heavier but I haven't given this record enough listens yet to justify criticism. CZcams commentary...hell of a thing.
slangman92
Is the full record even out yet? I haven't listened to this song yet cause I plan on listening to everything at once when I buy the CD but from what I've heard the second song in this trilogy is a heavier one.
Besides that the whole point is that TC is so much more than just a "heavy" band. They are always progressing as musicians. If you just want the same heavy record released over and over just go find some other bands to listen to. I'll be here enjoying everything this band puts out. There's more to music than just how heavy it is...
Lol, a three part song does not mean it's a title rip off of Autotheism. Chances are (98.45%) they just had it in coincidence...
This whole album is like a giant Faceless interlude
