Apparition is the second EP by American progressive metal band, The Contortionist. It was self-released by the band on September 24, 2009. The release shows the band's first move towards a more progressive sound than their debut EP, Shapeshifter that showed a more traditional deathcore sound. It is also the band's only release with Dave Hoffman on vocals, with Jonathan Carpenter joining afterwards to fill in the spot. Not long after the release of this EP, the band was signed to Good Fight and released their debut album, Exoplanet in the following year. The EP's artwork is a Hubble Space Telescope mosaic image assembled from 24 individual Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 exposures taken in October 1999, January 2000, and December 2000 of the Crab Nebula.
