Vermont’s Impact: How Body Void’s Bulldozing Doom Isn’t Just A Sound, But A Philosophy Embodying the Green Mountain State’s Spirit

In the article "Body Void’s Bulldozing Doom Isn’t Just A Sound. It’s A Philosophy" by Brad Sanders, Vermont emerges as a pivotal location in the evolution of the band Body Void. Following their relocation from San Francisco, their transition to Vermont marks a significant turning point in their musical journey and conceptual approach. The article discusses how this change facilitated a more profound exploration of heaviness, pushing the boundaries of their sound beyond traditional doom metal. The transformative environment of Vermont allowed Body Void to meld harsh noise and industrial elements into their music, culminating in their latest album, Atrocity Machine. This evolution illustrates that Vermont’s influence extends beyond geography; it embodies a philosophical shift in the band’s artistic direction as they tackle complex social issues through their music. By reflecting on the interplay of their sound and subject matter, the piece highlights Vermont’s role in shaping their unique voice within the broader metal landscape.
