The Contortionist to co-headline Slaughter Survivors Tour

Indianapolis, Indiana’s prog-metal prodigies THE CONTORTIONIST are thrilled to announce their inclusion in the upcoming FRAK THE GODS North American summer tour with scene giants Periphery, The Human Abstract, and Textures. Tour dates are scheduled to be announced soon, but the tour has been confirmed to run from September 2nd to October 8th throughout the country. Stay tuned for updates on this monster tour, coming soon!



THE CONTORTIONIST just added five new Northeastern tour dates with Whitechapel to their summer touring schedule. The dates lead directly into recently announced dates with Veil of Maya! The run with Veil of Maya will take the guys through Illinois and Indiana on four dates in June, serving as an excellent and rare opportunity to witness the band in their hometown! See below for all tour dates with Whitechapel and Veil of Maya.



The band also just announced brand new co-headlining tour dates on the SLAUGHTER SURVIVORS TOUR with Conducting From The Grave, Scale The Summit, Rings Of Saturn, Volumes, and Structures. The tour begins with a kick-off party in Hollywood, CA at the Key Club on July 21st. See below for this tour date line-up, as well.



THE CONTORTIONIST released their debut full-length, Exoplanet, with GOOD FIGHT MUSIC on August 31st, 2010. Their infectious, progressive and rhythmic sounds have brought them comparisons to some of today’s metal greats, such as Meshuggah, The Acacia Strain, and Between the Buried and Me. Purchase your copy of Exoplanet now at Amazon.com, or on iTunes!
