The Contortionist announce new EP ‘Our Bones’
THE CONTORTIONIST have announced a new EP!
Titled Our Bones, the upcoming new EP is the first new material since the release of the progressive metal heavyweight’s last album, 2017’s Clairvoyant. Our Bones was mixed and mastered by longtime collaborator Jamie King (BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD), who worked on Language and Clairvoyant.
Crafted in the compound owned by producer/engineer John Douglass (COHEED & CAMBRIA, BAD WOLVES, CARNIFEX), where the band were able to live and work, Our Bones began with some ideas Robby Baca would regularly run through at the band’s soundchecks. “Once I was finally able to get Robby to record that riff we started piecing together the song in the back of the van, while on tour in Europe,” vocalist Michael Lessard recalls. The result was lead single Early Grave, an expression of gratitude to the fans who’ve shared their stories of heartbreak, loneliness, and depression, and found new strength in the music of THE CONTORTIONIST.

“We try to do something different with everything we create,” explains Lessard. “With our albums, we tend to work with overarching interconnected themes. Our Bones is a departure. It offered an opportunity to dive into some things we haven’t had a chance to explore, and the shorter EP format allowed us to be hyper-focused on each song.”
