THE BODY BENEATH(Rise of the Insidious OUT NOW!)

About Me

Originally formed in 2005. The Body Beneath has seen it's fair share of trials and tribulations. After releasing the well recieved EP "Compelled to Suffer" on Lost Archives Records in 2007, the group went through a shift in lineups that would put most bands into the ground. Taking the majority of 2008 off to regroup, The Body Beneath is back with a vengeance! Consisting of a completely rejuvenated lineup and a brand new EP titled "Rise of the Insidious", this five-piece from the baron wasteland known as Minneapolis hopes to prove to audiences across the country that they are a force to be wreckoned with in today's metal world! Look for them on tour in your city soon!
“Having now evolved far beyond being simply a “With Dead Hands Rising” off-shoot, The Body Beneath is sounding extremely confident and more capable than ever.”-www.mindinvasion.com
“This release serves its purpose as a teaser and hopefully garners some deserved interest from a bigger label as this blows about half of the self released Myspace band stuff I usually hear away.”-www.metalreview.com
