About:
Taking their name from a Clive Barker short story and shifting gears from jazz (which most of the members studied at Vancouver Island University) to progressive metal, the band combine poly-metric grooves, aggressive screams and soaring vocal melodies to push the boundaries of modern metal music with technically impressive musicianship to follow up their 2011 debut album ‘All Too Human’ (also available for free download at the following link http://thebodypolitic.bandcamp.com/). Their emotionally charged songs incorporate an element of playfulness that has lead THE BODY POLITIC to stand out in a vast metal crowd and to perform opening slots for Tesseract, Protest The Hero and Scale The Summit plus multiple Western Canadian tours with their evolution.

Nanaimo, BC six-piece powerhouse THE BODY POLITIC has teamed up withBlank TV for the premiere of their new lyric video for ‘Armature’ for their new EP ‘Egressor’ due out on September 16, 2014.
Drummer Spencer Bowman comments:
“Armature’s lyrics illustrate the unravelling of the character’s mind, as a result of the extreme insecurities related to their physical appearance. It’s a song that hits close to home for us. Visually, the lyric video for Armature represents the anxiety and anger that the character feels. From a musical perspective, Armature is a good account of what people can expect from Egressor.”
