Today
the long out-of-print self-titled debut album from apocalyptic sludge duo THE BODY is officially available again
worldwide via At A Loss Recordings. Initially released in 2004 -- years before
their acclaimed sophomore LP All the
Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood and their collaborative LP with Braveyoung
-- this new version of The Body was
remixed/remastered at Machines With
Magnets, where THE BODY has recorded
all of their albums to date.
With the album now
available again, the deviants at Vice Magazine, who goddamn love THE BODY's bulldozing savagery, have
posted a track-by-track breakdown of the album by the band, in addition to a
stream of the entire album.
Let
THE BODY's end-time thunder abuse you RIGHT HERE.
THE
BODY
originally released their self-titled album on Moganono Records in 2004, before
they had begun to infiltrate their apocalyptic sludge hymns with lush vocal
choirs, orchestral movements and industrial noise programming. But while a bit
more atavistic in nature, the album bears nearly forty-five minutes of THE BODY's now renowned slow-motion
dirge riffs, innards-shifting low-end tones, chaotic instrumental breaks,
repetitive/building tonal movements, and sinister shrieking, sure to satisfy the
doomsday urges within any fans of the band's newer, more recognized
releases.
THE
BODY
have confirmed several Northwest shows with their brothers in Whitehorse for the
first week of July. In August THE
BODY will tour the entire West Coast of the US with The Assembly Of Light
Choir and Braveyoung, with several dates confirmed and more performances still
being added to the tour.
