Brat, Body Void, Bonginator, Tomb Ripper, Bonemass

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Other folks? Well, to get a little Alfred Pennyworth on y’all, some of them just want to listen to the world burn. And that’s what doom metal bands like Body Void provide. The extremely heavy noise that the trio creates sounds like the end of the world. It’s a brutal and unforgiving mix of clashing drums, deep bass, thundering riffs and scream singing mixed to the back on tracks so that the vocal shredding feels like just another instrument of chaos. If listeners allow their minds to disconnect while listening to Body Void’s most recent album, Atrocity Machine, there’s almost a zen-like quality to the avalanche of aggressive noise after a while. Rather than fret about the end of the world, why not bask in it during Body Void’s gig at the Dipper?
