The Contortionist Posts Studio Video Report

The Contortionist and MetalInjection.net are teaming up to feature an exclusive series of in-studio video blogs shot by the band members themselves, set to debut throughout February and March. Episode one is posted now and features footage of drummer Joey Baca practicing a new song, a look inside (and outside) of Audiohammer Studios, and more! Stay tuned for more exclusive blogs posting within the coming weeks. Check out the footage below.

The Contortionist made the trek down to Audiohammer Studios in Orlando, FL last week to record the follow-up to "Exoplanet." Famed producers Jason Suecof and Eyal Levi (August Burns Red, The Black Dahlia Murder) are producing the new release, which is set to hit stores in late spring/early summer 2012.

The Contortionist will continue the busy year in March, kicking off an upcoming run with All Shall Perish, Carnifex, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Conducting From The Grave in Oakland, CA on March 29th. See below for all current tour dates and stay alert for ticketing information.
