Drawing their name from the infamous Plainfield Ghoul, Ed Gein, Bodysnatcher know a thing or two about darkness, brutality and aggression. Since their 2014 inception in Melbourne, Florida, Bodysnatcher have been bringing nothing but the finest in furious, extreme music. Combining crushing breakdowns with eerie ambience, scathing riffs and grisly grooves, the band have become synonymous with “heavy,” invoking violence in every city they happen to visit, spawning mosh pits that leave nothing but craters in their wake. Now, with the upcoming release of their 2024 EP, Vile Conduct, the band are back with yet another demonstration of pure power that once more exemplifies Bodysnatcher bursting out of conventional genre constraints in favor of putting out something that is simply…heavy.
