I'll never forget when I first heard the body. My buddy brought over a vinyl and was like "check this out" and I listened in awe. When the last side was finished he, with a cringe on his face, said "you like it? You can keep it"
I seem to dig all their live stuff more than most of their actual music. One of the only bands I seem to like the live more than the actual recorded material. Chip's vocals are awesome though
I use a decibel reader app to measure the volume at every gig I go to just for shits and giggles and The Body was BY FAR the loudest gig I’ve ever been to. It’s ungodly
I had MULTIPLE people urge me, MULTIPLE TIMES EACH, to wear earplugs to see them. I was already expecting that to be a necessity, but it sort of surprised me a bit to see it emphasized SO hard. And then I fucking saw them.
set list: A Curse Final Words Hallow / Hollow Song of Sarin, the Brave (Unknown)(Improvised Noise?) The Ebb and Flow of Tides in a Sea of Ash The City of the Magnificent Jewel Failure to Desire to Communicate
@@billyalarie929 I just got into them this year. That split record they did with Uniform, Everything That Dies..., was in my most listened to on Spotify. As well as their debut record. Empty Hearth is one of the most insane songs I’ve ever heard in my life. A lot of the songs on the uniform record that are also very heavy, also at times make me want to dance which is odd
This was my initial response, too. Their dronier/more atmospheric work is what made me finally try them out for real. After getting familiar with some of "I Have Fought Against It...", I listened to "No One Deserves Happiness", and after a few listens and maybe a month it had grown on me. Now they're one of my favorite bands. I'm not saying this'll work for anybody, lol, but I do definitely believe they're a band that requires a lot of time to even tolerate, let alone get into if it's even your thing.
Lmfao I laughed way too hard at your comment!!! His voice reminds me of a Rooster and I mean imagine being woken up by a Rooster belting out I LOVE COOKIEEEEES!!! at 6am. But seriously I love this band.
Before I watched this video I thought the super high pitched annoying sound were from samples being played, but that’s this dudes vocals!!??? Just…….why would you do that?
@@thetrashmanoooh 1) A course 2) Final Words 3) Hallow\Hollow 4) Song of Sarin, the Brave 5) The Ebb and Flow of Tides in a Sea of Ash 6) The City of the Magnificent Jewel 7) For You (nor sure about last one)
i'm so confused. where is that pummeling bass coming from? there's no way he could tune his guitar down that far without the strings falling off, and it definitely doesn't sound like a synthesizer..
EQ pedals, in my experience, can easily push the lowest frequencies up on a guitar until it sounds like a bass. The fundamental tone of a guitar string is one octave below the pitch that actually sounds, but the octave up harmonic is so much louder it becomes the dominant tone. By boosting the low frequencies (Bass EQs typically have a 50hz band and a 120hz band, you'll want to push these up), you can get massive bass from a guitar.
It’s an octave pedal for sure. The sound is NOT natural and doesn’t sound like an 8 string guitar would. It does sound like a synth though and it’s because octave pedals partially work just like a synth, dividing the frequency by two. Even more, I believe that’s a fuzz based octave pedal, but I may be wrong, he may just be chaining it with fuzz or distortion
@Filosofemsofi Who's trying to be hard about The Body? They literally refer to themselves as a noise outfit, talk about collaborating with Beyonce, and wear fiona Apple t-shirts. There is nothing "tough" about their image or music, it's basically sad noise, people just want to pull them into the "metal" world and judge them through that scope. Almost every metal act is trying harder than The Body and they all come up far less unique while talking shit about their competition. When thinking of hipster heavy music, bands like Nails and Young And In The Way come to mind, using tough-guy imagery and culture to grow their crowd.
i love how a dude shrieking about the universe dissolving you in front of a wall of tube amps and cabs is "hipster". Enjoy listening to shitty thrash out of a Randall solid state head with lyrics about fucking wizards or whatever.
