BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

The Contortionist was formed in Indianapolis in 2007 by founding members Joey Baca (drums), Robby Baca (guitar), Cameron Maynard (guitar), and Christopher Tilley (bass). While cycling through several singers in their early years, the band earned spots touring in support of groups like Hatebreed and Between the Buried and Me. The band released their debut album Exoplanet in 2010, attracting a devoted following among fans of progressive metal. They returned in 2012 with Intrinsic, but announced the departure of long-time vocalist Jon Carpenter the following year. Fortunately former Last Chance to Reason vocalist Mike Lessard stepped up to the plate in 2014 to help write their third album Language, an addition that has drawn even more fans to the group’s sound as their popularity continues to grow.
