The Body

While often referred to as a doom/sludge metal act, the Body have progressed far beyond that sound, incorporating samples, electronic processing, acoustic instruments, and elements of dub, classical, blues, and numerous other genres into their relentlessly experimental music. On albums like 2013's Christs, Redeemers, they added strings and choral vocals, while 2016's No One Deserves Happiness featured beats influenced by contemporary pop and rap, and 2021's I've Seen All I Need to See was closer to power electronics and death industrial than metal. 2024's The Crying Out of Things was a culmination of every sound the band has previously explored. The Body have built up a dedicated following through endless touring as well as their prolific release schedule, including collaborations with groups and artists such as Thou, Krieg, Full of Hell, and Dis Fig.
