Vancouver, BC six-piece powerhouse THE BODY POLITIC has teamed up with PureGrainAudio.com for the premiere and FREE download of their new single ‘Armature’ off their forthcoming EP ‘Egressor’ due out on September 16, 2014.

Drummer Spencer Bowman comments:
“Armature’s lyrics are written from the perspective of someone who is wrestling with who they are as a person, both physically and emotionally. It’s a notion that hits close to home with us. The song is a big departure from our earlier work, and we think it gives a good impression of what people can expect from Egressor.”
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.
In additional news, the band will be performing at this year’s Beaver Fest in Valley View, AB on August 29th alongside Protest The Hero, Silverstein, Comeback and many more.
