Master, We Perish, the newest vile EP from nomadic doom duo THE BODY, is available worldwide today via At A Loss.

Preaching three new anti-life messages, Master We Perish takes the distinctive style and matchless power of this earthmoving cult to its most corrosive and ominous yet. The EP’s blackened bursts of noise-drenched, low-fi doom are fueled by percussionist Lee Buford’s hypnotic, tribal rhythms, the melee infiltrated by guitarist/vocalist Chip King’s penetrating vocal screech, recorded at Providence, Rhode Island-based Machines With Magnets (Battles, Daughters, Lightning Bolt, Chinese Stars). THE BODY also recruited Leslie Weitz (Otesanek), Chrissy Wolpert (Assembly Of Light Choir) and Reba Mitchell (Whore Paint) for vocal contributions throughout the torrid endeavor adding an array of eerie dynamics to the songs.

In praise of the arrival of Master, We Perish, the harrowing new video for the EP’s closing track, “Worship,” is now infiltrating the airwaves. As with the video for the EP’s opening track “The Ebb And Flow Of Tides In A Sea Of Ash” — released earlier via Pitchfork HERE – the “Worship” visual recording was directed by Richard Rankin. Witness the coming of the end with the drawn-out tribal buildup as humans weep, fear, repent, and await the immense, mangled, feedback and effects-laden closing via Invisible Oranges AT THIS LOCATION.

Find Master, We Perish as a 12” EP, CD, cassette and digital download on via At A Loss Recordings, the label responsible for the reissue of THE BODY’s self-titled LP, their collaborative release with Braveyoung, and most notoriously, their revered and feared 2010-released All The Waters Of The Earth Turns To Blood.

THE BODY will be taking their terror door-to-door this Spring and Summer with an eleven-town cross-country trek now scheduled in the first half of May. June will see them handling two nights in Brooklyn with different opening lineups mid-month. At the end of June THE BODY will join Los Crudos, Iron Lung, Talk Is Poison and more at This Is Not a Step Fest in Berkeley, California, followed by a West Coast run with support from Subservient Fuck. Stay tuned, as more live excursions are being devised.

Following their acclaimed All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood LP in 2012, and their collaborative Nothing Passes LP with Braveyoung in 2011, THE BODY’s long out-of-print self-titled debut album will be reborn this June.

The re-released version of The Body will be made available on CD and deluxe digital download worldwide on June 26th via At A Loss Recordings — the label responsible for releasing both All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood and Nothing Passes.

THE BODY originally released the self-titled album on  Moganono Records in 2004, before the duo began infiltrating 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. This new version of the album has been remixed/remastered at Machines With Magnets, where THE BODY has recorded all of their material to date.

The Body Track Listing:
1. ( )
2. The City Of The Magnificent Jewel
3. Hearts Ache, Even In Dreams (City Eater)
4. Culture Destroyer
5. The Mother And Tomb Of All Things
6. Failings
7. Final Words

Having recently relocated to Portland, Oregon, THE BODY have confirmed several regional shows with their brothers in Whitehorse early next month, as well as five dates with The Assembly Of Light Choir and Braveyoung in August, and are devising more live assaults for the months ahead.

More details on this and other forthcoming releases from the band will be announced as they are ready for public announcement.
