Revolution of Metal!The union of two innovative and boundary-pushing artists, The Body & Dis Fig, has created a mesmerizing and haunting fusion of metal and electronic music. The collaboration between the American metal band The Body and the experimental electronic producer Dis Fig has given birth to a sound that defies traditional genre boundaries and pushes the limits of sonic exploration.
The Body, hailing from Portland, Oregon, was formed in 1999 by the duo of Chip King and Lee Buford. The band quickly gained a reputation for their abrasive and experimental approach to metal music, incorporating elements of noise, drone, and industrial into their sound. With a discography spanning over two decades, The Body has released a string of critically acclaimed albums that have solidified their status as one of the most innovative and uncompromising acts in the metal scene.
Dis Fig, on the other hand, is the moniker of electronic producer Felicia Chen, whose experimental and genre-defying approach to music has garnered her a dedicated following in the underground electronic music scene. With a background in classical composition and a love for pushing the boundaries of sound design, Dis Fig’s music is a captivating blend of dark ambient textures, glitchy rhythms, and haunting vocals.
The collaboration between The Body and Dis Fig was born out of a mutual respect for each other’s work and a shared desire to push the boundaries of their respective genres. The result is a mesmerizing and otherworldly sound that combines the visceral intensity of metal with the atmospheric and textural richness of electronic music.
Their collaborative efforts first came to light with the release of their EP “Absent In Body” in 2020. The EP was met with critical acclaim, with many praising the duo’s ability to seamlessly blend their distinct styles into a cohesive and immersive listening experience. Tracks like “A Lament” and “The Last Form of Loving” showcase the haunting vocals of Dis Fig layered over The Body’s trademark abrasive guitars and thunderous drums, creating a sense of unease and tension that is both captivating and unsettling.
Building on the success of their EP, The Body & Dis Fig went on to release their debut full-length album, “Body Horror,” in 2021. The album further explores the dark and unsettling sonic landscape that the duo has created, with tracks like “Surviving” and “Hallow/Hollow” delving into themes of decay, isolation, and existential dread. The album received widespread critical acclaim, with many praising the duo’s ability to create a truly unique and immersive listening experience that defies easy categorization.
As The Body & Dis Fig continue to push the boundaries of their sound and explore new sonic territories, it is clear that their collaboration is a meeting of minds that is destined to leave a lasting impact on the world of experimental music. With their uncompromising approach to creativity and their fearless exploration of the darker aspects of the human experience, The Body & Dis Fig have carved out a unique and compelling niche for themselves in the ever-evolving landscape of metal and electronic music.
