THE CONTORTIONIST To Enter Studio In February
December 13, 2011Indianapolis, Indiana's prog-metal prodigies THE CONTORTIONIST will enter AudioHammer Studios in Sanford, Florida in February with producers Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, DEVILDRIVER) and Eyal Levi (AUGUST BURNS RED, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER) to begin recording their sophomore album for a late spring/early summer 2012 release via Good Fight Music.
In a recent interview with Guitar World, THE CONTORTIONIST guitarist Robby Baca stated about the band's sound, "I feel we have a somewhat strong sense of using interesting rhythms. And just for the sake of keeping it interesting to us, we like to hear odd rhythms and to play with dissonance and consonance — and just make interesting sounds, not focusing on just being a metal band. Sometimes the rhythms come naturally, but other times, it's very specific where we'll say, 'We want to take this measure that's a 13-count over a 4-count, and we want to do [this] for so many counts.' Sometimes it's very methodically plotted out, but other times it just comes out that way, just naturally. I'd say we're kind of mathematical."
The picture-disc vinyl release of THE CONTORTIONIST's debut album, "Exoplanet" was made available in September.
The CD version of "Exoplanet"came out on August 31, 2010 through Good Fight Music. The band's infectious, progressive and rhythmic sounds has brought it comparisons to some of today's metal greats such as MESHUGGAH, THE ACACIA STRAIN and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME.
