The Body live in Denton County

Experience The Body live on July 30th

The Body, a Providence, Rhode Island-based musical duo consisting of Chip King and Lee Buford, will perform at Rubber Gloves in Denton County, Texas on July 30, 2026. Their music is generally categorized as experimental metal, drawing influence from doom metal, noise music, and industrial genres. Characterized by heavily distorted instrumentation, intensely emotive vocals – often incorporating both screams and clean singing – and explorations of bleak lyrical themes concerning trauma, faith, and existential dread, The Body’s sound is known for its challenging and immersive qualities. They have released albums on labels including Neurot Recordings and Profound Lore Records and have collaborated with artists like Thou and Full of Hell.
