Artist: Body, The
Title: Master, We Perish (INDIE EXCLUSIVE, DELUXE EDITION, OPAQUE JADE BLUE VINYL)
Genre: Metal / Alternative Metal
Label: Thrill Jockey Records
Master, We Perish’s deluxe reissue is newly remastered and expanded.
The Body’s landmark record Master, We Perish, originally released in 2013, found the acclaimed duo at a crossroads in their career. Recorded just before the duo of drummer Lee Buford and guitarist/vocalist Chip King were leaving their longtime home of Providence for Portland and released in between their breakthrough albums All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood and Christs, Redeemers, Master expanded on the duo’s love of layered worldbuilding with more precision and a stronger emphasis on percussive samples than ever before. The seeds of the duo’s celebrated collaborative inclination are evident as the album features Assembly of Light Choir leader Chrissy Wolpert, choir member Reba Mitchell, Otesanek vocalist Leslie Weitz, and guitarist David Lifrieri. With the expanded edition, the album’s striking cover painting by Providence mainstay Manifester aka Matt Brinkman (Mindflayer, Forcefield) is finally rendered in its original form.
Master, We Perish is expanded with rare bonus tracks from The Body’s early days, taken from a pair of rare 7” singles Cop Killer/Dead Cops as well as a split with Get Killed. These storied singles mark the first time the band truly pushed the boundaries of sound in the studio and on record. It also marks the beginning of The Body’s practice of wielding the studio as a veritable weapon to translate their gargantuan sound with deeper impact on LP. The results are not only pushing the capacity of the album format but are sonically riveting. The bonus material was recorded at Machines with Magnets. The band described them economically: “NASTY.”
