The third studio long-player from the Indianapolis-based progressive metal unit, the eOne/Good Fight Music-issued Language is also the first collection of new music from the Contortionist to feature the talents of Last Chance to Reason vocalist Mike Lessard, who replaced new father Jonathan Carpenter after he left the group amicably in 2013 to focus on his family. The nine-track album, which was preceded by the singles "Language I: Intuition" and "Primordial Sound," debuted at the number 52 slot on the Billboard 200 chart. ~ James Christopher Monger
