THE CONTORTIONIST Shoot Two Music Videos
June 25, 2012, 12 years ago
Indiana-based progressive metal act THE CONTORTIONIST shot music videos over this past weekend for the tracks 'Casualty' and 'Dreaming Schematics', with directing team KOTK Productions in North Carolina. A still shot from the shoot can be seen at left.
The Contortionist will release their new record, Intrinsic, on July 17th via eOne/Good Fight Music.
"On Intrinsic, we've found ourselves focusing on the songwriting as well as the new textures and melody we're striving for. Each song has its own identity and flow, but the album is fun to listen through in order cause of the conceptual ties," says vocalist / keyboardist Jonathan Carpenter.
Produced and recorded by Eyal Levi (DAATH, JOB FOR A COWBOY) and Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, DEVILDRIVER) at Audiohammer Studios, this is by far the band's most far reaching material to date.
Tracklisting:
'Holomovement'
'Feedback Loop'
'Causality'
'Sequential Vision'
'Geocentric Confusion'
'Dreaming Schematics'
'Anatomy Anomalies'
'Cortical'
'Solipsis'
'Parallel Trance'
