I Have Fought Against It, But I Can’t Any Longer. by The Body

I Have Fought Against It, But I Can’t Any Longer. is a Metal album by The Body, originally released in 2018. On Gatefold: 7 pressings tracked, owned by 4 collectors.

About

Taking its title from Virginia Woolf’s suicide note, The Body’s seventh full-length is both bleak and beautiful. Built around samples created by the experimental duo themselves, songs like “The Last Form of Loving” and “Can Carry No Weight” feature classical female voices singing over unsettling noises that seem to come out of nowhere. “The West Has Failed” and “Nothing Stirs” are awash in feedback, electronic beats, and what sounds like human screams. The album’s haunting closer is a desolate piano meditation based around a reading of Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal.
