    This is how music should be written. Original and emotional as hell. The Contortionist is an amazing band. They deserve WAY more attention.

    Love who Cameron always seems to be drifting on the music. People shit on their stage presence a lot but I actually digg all of it.

    • @SixNationsStud
      @SixNationsStud 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Jordy R They don't need to jump around like a bunch of idiots for the presence to be huge. Just seeing how into their music they are is enough for me.

    Not all vocalists can sound like one an other, mike has his own unique style and is a beast... Whoever doesn't like this is fuckin diluted.. New contortionist album in 2 weeks :)

    Mike was the absolutely perfect addition to this band. Holy shit.

    @jayrx12 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Can't believe I slept on Intrinsic when it released. Now it's my favorite album by them, super experimental.

  • @KRAPYBARA84
    @KRAPYBARA84 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It's funny cuz he's doesn't want to scream anymore but he's pretty amazing at it. Either way, this band is very talented

  • @sicboi80

    Fuck man. Geocentric Confusion gives me so many feels. Dem chills tho...

  • @topech89EE

    @fuckyouforinvadingmyprivac2771 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Mikes vocals are fucking intense now. His screams are a lot deeper than they were on LCTR's Level 2. I personally think he's better than Jon in every way possible. Yeah it sucks theres no live synths but I couldn't care less, mikes one of the best vocalists ever.

    • @xgrizzlyx93

  • @Henrikswanstrom
    @Henrikswanstrom 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This band is amazing live, best live preformances and unimaginably tight. Sad that they didn't get to play anything from Exoplanet :(

  • @Salmakatory
    @Salmakatory 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    No, this experience was at the Majestic Theater in Detroit. But I wouldn't be surprised that is happened else where. They've built up enough steam that people just want more material from the guys. They could play a one hour set and no one would say a word.

  • @Perez777_t
    @Perez777_t 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I'm glad they played everything off of there latest album, i think it's better than exoplanet

  • @DarkPhantomSky
    @DarkPhantomSky 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, I knew he seemed familiar. He's the vocalist for last chance to reason which is a great band as well!

    @TheMidst 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this!! I've seen them live twice but never get tired of watching their show. It's nice to see their setlist change, I'm glad they added Anatomy Anomalies. Lessard is a great replacement too. The next album will probably be exceptional. This band is seriously GREAT.

    • @TheMidst

      @Stanley Yelnats Thank you. Nice to see someone enjoying Intrinsic and the surplus of random Contortionist sets here along with me, rock on man!

  • @Salmakatory
    @Salmakatory 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was just at a BTBAM show, they were the second band up there and blew everyone away. There were some people moshing but what was different was the sound they were getting. It sucked everyone in. Before their last song they did the classic, "Alright, this is our last song." Everyone was actually pissed off. The singer even said he was upset which is something I never heard before.
    They were just so fuckin' good man.

  • @ragekage209
    @ragekage209 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    People asking what's up with the crowd: They're not exactly a moshing band. I love moshing but I would probably just stand there taking it all in.

    If these guys ever play within 100miles of where I live, I'll be there..
    I understand being pissed at the seemingly dead crowd, but I think they were just in awe.
    I'm gonna bring my hammock for
    the chill parts, especially anomalies. Probably just gonna do the windmill for heavy sections in the hammock too.

      The Contortionist has alot of instrumental parts. When Jonathan was in the band, he was on keys, so everyone always had something to do. But now the new guy has no choice but to dance around haha.

    The sound here is fantastic! I saw them at the Majestic in Detroit and the room was awful for sound. It was a giant old ballroom with no bass traps or soundproofing Every band struggled for good sound but they all played great none the less!

  • @ThaThing1337x
    @ThaThing1337x 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Everyone seem to complain about crowd standing still, but the band isn't any better. The playing is really tight, but they should move once in a while as well. When a band is having good stage prescence it affects the audience as well and will probably make them "go nuts" more easily.
    Technically and soundwise the performance sounds flawless though.

    • @sicboi80
      @sicboi80 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bullshit. I've seen many live performances of this band and this crowd was very tame.

    • @ThaThing1337x
      @ThaThing1337x 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Didn't say that it was always the case, but it's an important factor. Not uncommon that the crowd goes nuts regardless of what's going on visually on stage, but the band could most likely have avoided this situation with showing more energy on stage and getting the crowd more involved.

    • @dfsbs8171
      @dfsbs8171 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I'm pretty sure they’re not moving because they're just in awe of the majesty that’s being presented to them

    • @voxextremos22
      @voxextremos22 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's hard to mosh when you go from balls out death metal to really smooth jazz parts. The Contortionist like cynic is a very eclectic band. I myselfam more of a headbanger i like to vide to this music.

  • @Posirep
    @Posirep 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really hope when they get a permanent leadman he plays keys like Jonathan did. ..Looks stupid when your singing is off in the corner dry humping an amp during the instrumental parts..and of course pumping pre-recorded keyboard sounds in a live set isn't cool IMO.

    • @itLEAKED
