The Contortionist

The Contortionist is a progressive metal band from Indianapolis that was founded in 2007. Opting to incorporate a sound that requires adept musicianship on behalf of the band members, The Contortionist has attracted a certain type of adhearent listener who likes staunch metal, that's striped of any pretense or faux aesthetic sensibility. For the first few years after the band's formation, it gigged around the Mid West, where it sharpened it's sonic approach, before locking itself away in the studio to record its debut album, Exoplanet, which was release in 2010.
