Go Behind the Scenes of The Contortionist’s New Album Language

The new Contortionist single “Language I: Intuition” pretty much blew my mind. This band has evolved SO much over the years, and with Last Chance to Reason vocalist Michael Lessard now at the helm and ex-Scale the Summit low-end slinger Jordan Eberhardt now on bass they’re really poised for big things with their forthcoming album Language.

But how precisely was the sausage made? Gear Gods got their hands on this video of the band laying down tracks with expert meat purveyor Jamie King, and, well… it looks a whole lot like a band recording an album. Shocking, eh? All snark aside, I actually prefer these types of behind-the-scenes videos that show the band members recording their parts over the ones that just show everyone goofing off. Plus we get to hear a few clips of new music too, which is always excitebike.

The Contortionist will be opening for Periphery and headlining a few dates of their own this fall.
