Late Sunday night, my single favorite mustached bear who happens to write for this very blog\u00a0messaged me to let me know that on June 20th, sludge alchemists\u00a0The Body<\/strong> will be releasing a new collaboration with Japanese weirdos\u00a0Vampillia<\/strong>. This collaborative effort marks the second partnership of 2015 and the third since the beginning of 2014 (excluding split records). Only one track from\u00a0xoroAHbin,\u00a0<\/em>the mysterious “Chikatilo” has been unveiled so far, and you can hear it right here.<\/p>\n

The Body’s proclivity towards collaborations fascinates me. The band has never lacked for creativity on their own, so I find it exceedingly interesting that they would seek out other artists with whom to share\u00a0songwriting responsibilities. Aside from a split with\u00a0Sandworm<\/strong>, The Body dropped one very interesting collaboration in 2014, the menacingly titled\u00a0I Shall Die Here<\/em>. The record saw The Body working with electronic\u00a0artist\u00a0Haxan Cloak<\/strong> to layer wave upon wave of industrial menace atop The Body’s already horrifyingly thick sludge. The record was exceptionally imposing, but I found myself longing a bit for the bleak metallic nihilism of The Body’s more traditional albums like\u00a0All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood<\/em>.<\/p>\n
