Body Void announce new album ‘Beneath This Rotting Earth’
BODY VOID have announced a new album!
Titled Beneath This Rotting Earth, the upcoming album from the blackened doom duo is their brand new full-length album and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via their new home at Prosthetic Records.
Speaking about signing to Prosthetic, guitarist/bassist/vocalist Willow Ryan says, “we’re incredibly excited to join Prosthetic Records. Not only to be part of its historic and diverse roster full of bands we love and respect, but also to join with our dear doomy friends in BISMUTH, VILE CREATURE, and WELTESSER. The label has been incredibly kind and welcoming to us and we’re excited to find out what we’re able to achieve going forward.”
Prosthetic Records’ Becky Laverty adds, “I have admired BODY VOID from afar for some time now, so I’m thrilled that we get to work with them on this excellent album. We’re really looking forward to being a part of the BODY VOID story, and seeing what paths it leads us down.”
The upcoming album was recorded in June of last year whilst the United States of America teemed with discordance and conflict under the heat of a sweltering summer and a tyrannical leader. At Blackheart Sound in Manchester, New Hampshire the two members of the band worked with producer Eric Sauter, to process their feelings – both those that had been long festering, and those which were new and raw – into the four tracks that make up the third studio album. An additional layer of electronics was applied with the help of solo noise musician, and the band’s touring bassist, Entresol.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Wound. The new music video was first premiered via Metal Injection.
Speaking about the new song, Ryan adds, “Wound is a song not only about the ecological harm we’ve done to the earth, but the spiritual harm we’ve done to ourselves as a result of corporate capitalism. Saving the planet and our collective souls is a singular endeavour. We are the earth in both a physical and metaphysical sense, and we cannot continue as a species if we value profit above all life on this floating ball of dust and debris we call home. We are doomed to extinction if our only mode of existence is accumulation and exploitation.”
