The Contortionist is one of the most underrated bands on the scene today, employing vast textures and soundscapes into the metal architecture of their compositions. I met up with them on their current tour with Monuments, Entheos, and Sleepmakeswaves to go over the gear they use to make those songs come to life.
I became a contortionist filming this one – shooting a rig piece at Chain Reaction in Anaheim is not the most spacious of affairs, so a great deal of kneeling, stretching, bending and reaching was required. These things, I do for you, dear reader, so watch this shit so I can buy some Ibuprofen!
