THE CONTORTIONIST have announced Mike Lessard of LAST CHANCE TO REASON as their permenant vocalist, replacing Jonathan Carpenter who exited the band earlier this year.

"We're very excited about this announcement. The run of dates we did with him as a fill-in were a much needed breath of fresh air. He brings to the table all kinds of new dynamics that will help fuel the progression of the band's sound onto the next record and onward", says guitarist Robby Bacca.

"I've been a friend and a fan of the band for a long time, so these are exciting times. I can't wait to hit the road and the studio with these talented gentlemen. I believe this to be the start of a beautiful experience", says Lessard himself.

American extreme prog giants BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME will hit the road in North America this fall, performing Future Sequence in it's entirety. Dates stretch coast to coast kicking off in Winston Salem, NC on September 13th and will wrap up more than a month later in Nashville, TN. The Contortionist, THE FACELESS and THE SAFETY FIRE round out the support slots.
