The Crying Out of Things

Known for the monolithic force of their music and their inventive production techniques, The Body’s albums are benchmarks in the expansion and evolution of heavy music.

Tightly packed with deceptively nuanced arrangements and exhilarating, challenging distortion, their compositions are possessed of an unmistakably singular sound. ‘The Crying Out of Things’ is no exception; a culmination of all that The Body have done before, highlighting their mastery of dynamic and monumental music that pushes toward the unmistakable sound of oblivion. The Body have produced a wealth of groundbreaking collaborations with the likes of Full of Hell, Thou, Uniform, BIG|BRAVE, OAA and Dis Fig.

The duo’s benchmark albums have, over the past two decades, changed the perceptions and directions of heavy music.

“The results are harsh but exhilarating, loud enough to make youw orry about your speakers and anguished enough to make you worry about your sanity.” - Pitchfork

“Whether it’s a sludge-metal lope or a near-techno pulse, this truly awesome album’s sense of rhythm is perhaps its note of hope, suggesting a centre that just might hold even as things fall apart.”-The Guardian

“The Body present the most uncompromising result of their researches into the combination of harsh noise and extreme metal to date.” - The Quietus
