I’ve Seen All I Need To See is the 8th full-length album of this Rhode Island-based project. It finds the group filtering their doomed ‘n’ sludge-up experimental electro-rock sound through overloaded death industrial/ power electronics production. Creating a brutal, blunt-yet sonically flat record, which is the sonic equivalent of been constantly battered over your head with a big black cosh.

Fitting the albums blunt 'n' blacked sound the CD is presented in a stark monochrome mini gatefold. This features knives and black webbed masks, crosses and staring eyes, and smeared/ blurred text. The inside gatefold features a murky, grim and barely defined landscape picture with white texts over the top, detailing the releases players/ production history.

The Body formed in Providence, Rhode Island in the year 1999- bringing together school friends Chip King – guitars, vocals, Lee Buford – drums, programming. Seemingly the project has been largely a duo throughout its existence, though for this album we have the addition of four other players-Ben Eberle- vocals, Chrissy Wolpert- piano, Seth Manchester-drum programming & Keyboards, and Max Goldman- Drums.

The eight-track album moves from bounding ‘n’ marching drums meets billowed-bass hazed weight of “Tired Up And Locked In” with its bayed vocals, and distant moody guitar/ bleak ambient hints. There’s strung-out and repetitive thumbed doom meets nastily reverbed percussion of  “The City Is Shelled” which later adds in wonkily tolling piano keys to great effect. Or the grimly muffled 'n' sludgy smashing weight of the final track “Path Of Failure” which as it goes on adds in more and more layers of bluntly slugging bass haze, crashing drum work, and general sonic weight.

There is no doubt I’ve Seen All I Need To See is a terminal thick, crushing, and blackly nasty record- which has zero let-up or light anywhere. I just felt the production all felt a little too flat, dull, and deliberately muffled for its own good- I know this was the point to create a wholly oppressive, and hope battering experience- but there still needs to be a little range here and there, so it doesn’t all become just one slogging sludge, which sadly this album does in places. I’d say sample a few tracks before your fully jump into, to see how you get on with the production.
