Fresh off a successful run with HATEBREED and DYING FETUS, THE CONTORTIONIST have announced their participation in a handful of dates with DEFTONES. Frontman/Keyboardist Jonathan Carpenter weighs in on the news: “We feel honored to be sharing the stage with the legendary Deftones! They have an incredible sound that has absolutely impacted us as musicians. Should be a surreal week”

The band will then head out on the road with label-mates WITHIN THE RUINS on a batch of dates trekking to the west coast and back. They’ll then kick off the “THE ROAD TO METAL FEST” supporting AFTER THE BURIAL. Dates can be seen below.

THE CONTORTIONIST released “Intrinsic” earlier this year to much critical acclaim. Landing at number #107 on the Billboard Top 200, #15 on the Hard Music Chart and #3 on the New Artist Chart, it was the most successful first week the band has had to date. It’s also on sale now for $6.66 here.
