Progressive metal band The Contortionist recently announced that lead singer Jonathan Carpenter has left the band on good terms due to personal reasons. The band has currently been touring with Last Chance To Reason vocalist Mike Lessard. Now, they are ready to find a permanent replacement.

They are now having auditions and have uploaded two instrumental tracks from their latest album 'Intrinsic'. You can download the tracks 'Holomovement' and 'Geocentric Confusion' here.

Here are the stipulations for the vocalist audition:

• Must be local to Indianapolis area or willing/able to travel/relocate.

• Must be 18+ years old

• Preferably able to play keyboards/synth in a live setting but not required.

• Preferably has some previous tour, songwriting, and studio experience.

• Must be free of any full time commitments (such as school or work) and ready to commit to the band FULL TIME starting June 1, 2013.

Guitarist Cameron Maynard has this to say about the audition process:

We aren't just looking for someone that can show off their skills as a musician, the band needs someone special that personally favors the traveling, and it should be in this person's best interest to truly enjoy performing and working creatively day in and day out.
