The Contortionist - Return To Earth 

We appreciate all those who are enjoying it so far and apologize to those who aren't. Much love to you all nonetheless!

Just lost another friend to drugs today. Here I am again...

New Album comming?

Still mad slept on tbh

This is why I love this band so much.

Don't need drugs when ya got this

This is no longer just music, man. This is something else.

Michael Lessard always looks like he needs a hug from someone.

Transcendent beauty….

This hurts so good.

To those who don't know - this is basically a eulogy for the singer's friend who died of an overdose. His friends mother passed away, and his friend couldn't handle it so he turned to drugs and died a year after his mother.

This song is just so hauntingly beautiful. This album as a whole is helping me cope with the loss of my sister and my uncle who both passed away last year. A drunk driver took the life of my oldest sister and my uncle died from cancer 3 months later. I felt myself losing my sanity.. the most hardest time of my life. It’s difficult still, but I know they are at rest. They just “returned to the earth”. Thank you guys for making this album. Thank you.

"You were so sick.... You were Skin and Bone.....So you fed yourself excuses...."

These songs, so far, have been the most approachable songs the contortionist have ever released. Lots of people in these comments are identifying the songs as boring and non-experimental, but its absolutely not true. The songs are approachable. You can understand some of the things going on very quickly. Especially so when comparing it to previous releases. But there is tremendous depth in the harmony and rhythm still, even if the beats end up being in 4/4. This song transitions between a wide range of vibes, all well maintaining fantastic flow. Music like this can serve to satisfy a wider range of listeners, but on top of that it can serve as good music for more states of mind. It satisfies the person who listens for complexity, as well as the person who listens for simplicity. And I bet that the boys in the contortionist are on both sides of that fence, which is why this music is what is appealing to them as of now.

I love when metal bands have a loud and audible bass guitar!!! thank you!!!!

It is scary how good this band is getting.

The rock scene needs more of this. It's called "creativity", and this band has it. FOREVER ON REPEAT.

their music has helped me through my darkest days

From the future.

Everytime I come back to this track it still hits hard. Lost alot of people to addiction and overdoses. I myself struggle with alcoholism, shits even harder when you're still trying to recover only to relapse over and over again...many blessings to all.
