The Body was founded by drummer Lee Buford and guitarist/vocalist Chip King in Fayetteville, AR in 1999. Eventually, the two would move to Boston and Philadelphia respectively before relocating to Providence and releasing their first album in 2004. Buford and King took up their now-residence of Portland, OR in 2012, and have been consistently releasing the most forward-thinking work in heavy music, both on their own and in collaboration with likeminded artists like Thou, Full of Hell, Uniform, The Haxan Cloak, The Assembly of Light Choir, Krieg, Braveyoung, Vampillia, and more. Emblematic of their love for the collaborative process, The Body chose to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special limited double LP of remixes from their previous albums, simply titled Remixed, and including a deluxe poster cataloguing the nearly 100 shirts the band have printed in their career. 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.
