Originally released in 2010, The Body’s All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood is a watershed album that changed the landscape of heavy music. Buoyed by the eclectic cast of musicians, from the undeniably potent collaboration with The Assembly of Light Choir as led by now longtime The Body collaborator Chrissy Wolpert, to guest contributors that include members of Dead TimesFang IslandLichens (aka Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe), Human Beast, and many more. The album’s singularly bleak, yet beautiful atmosphere not only set the tone for The Body’s career in breaking the mold, but set a new standard for what extreme music could do.

All the Waters rightfully broke The Body, the duo of Lee Buford and Chip King, out from the underground and was met with acclaim from across a wide spectrum.

Pitchfork’s Grayson Haver Currin said of the record: “The rare album that feels truly dangerous. As it crushes and collides doom metal, harsh noise, industrial rock, and gospel singing into one mean mess, it seems to obey no rules but its own. The result is a singular, explosive masterpiece.” 

NPR’s Lars Gotrich put it in his 2010 Top 10 list, calling it “the most surreal doom-metal record of 2010” and The Quietus called it the year’s “best record on the fringes of metal.” Following the album’s release and subsequent tours, which sometimes included the entire Assembly of Light Choir, The Body established themselves as a permanent fixture of forward-thinking artists and a reliably overwhelming force, both on record and in live settings.
