Indianapolis, Indiana's THE CONTORTIONIST has just added brand new tour dates with WITHIN THE RUINS, SUFFOKATE and LAST CHANCE TO REASON to its winter touring schedule. The trek will take the bands through Canada this February into March.

THE CONTORTIONIST released its debut full-length, "Exoplanet", on August 31, 2010 through Good Fight Music, and has been touring consistently since.
