OCTOBER 23, 2019 UPDATE


Anatomy of Habit plays on Friday night as part of an exciting bill of doom-laden post-punk and post-industrial variations. I believe it's our first-ever all-ages show. The following weekend sees us driving to Madison for our first-ever show there. Thanks to everyone who came out to support BLOODYMINDED at Co-Prosperity Sphere with Pharmakon and Itsi. It was a great night, from start to finish, with a large, enthusiastic crowd. Now we're gearing up for our November 23 show with Burial Hex and NIKA (Zola Jesus) at the International Museum of Surgical Science. As anticipated, the show sold out very quickly, so we hope our Chicago friends managed to get tickets. We've confirmed all of the details for our final show of the year and we'll be announcing it soon. It won't be in Chicago. I've been pretty inspired and focused and I've completed five more Super Eight Loop re-masters, which may even tick over to six, by the time this update is sent. Getting past the 75% point really seems to have motivated me...

ANATOMY OF HABIT

Anatomy of Habit formed in Chicago in October 2008 and is composed of Alex Latus (guitar), Isidro Reyes (metal percussion), Skyler Rowe (drums), Mark Solotroff (vocals), and Sam Wagster (bass + lap steel). The band encompasses elements of doom metal, post-punk, death-rock, noise-rock, industrial, psychedelic, and shoegaze. The band's last album, "Ciphers + Axioms," was released by Relapse Records.


This will be our last Chicago show of the year and we look forward to seeing our friends at this major DIY undertaking:

BLOODYMINDED

BLOODYMINDED is a heavy electronic band that was formed in New York, in 1995, after the dissolution of the pioneering American post-industrial noise group Intrinsic Action, which was founded by Mark Solotroff, in Chicago, in 1984. BLOODYMINDED’s live shows are exceptionally energetic and are characterized by physical engagement, layers of abrasive analog synthesizer, aggressive vocals, and abundant feedback. In a live context, BLOODYMINDED celebrate and deconstruct the rock and roll performance.


We've been posting lots of photos and video clips from our last show on Instagram and Facebook.

There's a full-show video up now on YouTube, courtesy of Erica (TemporaryCorrespondence):

Here are some photos from the show, with thanks to John Roth, Ricardo E. Adame, Carmelo Española, and Bryan Wendorf)





















We're a month out from our last Chicago show of 2019. We couldn't be happier with the special setting and the artists that we'll be joining...

THE FORTIETH DAY

The Fortieth Day is the duo of Isidro Reyes and Mark Solotroff, both key players in the heavy-electronics outfit BLOODYMINDED, a band known for its aggressive and confrontational live shows. In The Fortieth Day, Reyes and Solotroff utilize guitar, bass, drum machine, and analog synthesizer to create epic, blackened, psychedelic-industrial drone soundscapes.



We recently delivered a new master to Sergio Sanchez at Ruido Horrible in Mexico City and we're currently working with him on artwork and packaging design. More news soon...

The Body "Remixed"

The artists selected to for the remixes include longtime friends, artists who The Body have influenced or been influenced by, and artists with whom the band share a mutual respect.
