Melbourne, Florida-based brutal deathcore heroes BODYSNATCHER are back with a new track, “Absolved Of The Strings And Stone,” a bludgeoning introduction to their upcoming new full-length album
set for release in the coming months via MNRK Heavy. It will be a true test of will to stop yourself from opening up a pit to this swirling assault of deathcore breakdowns, divebombs, and dissonance.
Comments guitarist Kyle Carter of the latest track, “‘Absolved Of The Strings And Stone’ speaks on the topic of realizing toxic behavior and cutting those people loose. Realize your worth and trust your gut.”

BODYSNATCHER — a name inspired by notorious serial killer Ed Gein — brings an updated and brutal formula to deathcore, fusing components of hardcore and beatdown into their blistering hymns. The band currently consists of founding vocalist Kyle Medina, drummer Chris Whited, formerly of King Conquer, bassist Kyle Shope, formerly of Float Face Down, and guitarist Kyle Carter, formerly of Dealey Plaza and Beacons.
The band’s most recent full-length, This Heavy Void, released in 2019, was met with critical accolades from fans and critics alike with New Transcendence hailing, “their most oppressive record yet,” adding, “BODYSNATCHER do more than pick up where their previous, critically acclaimed fusion of beatdown and deathcore left off. Instead, the band provide what is their most comprehensive display of emotion and aggression to date, using everything from vicious grooves to spine-shrinking slams to match the weight and intensity of their lyrical content to create what stands to be one of the first in a blossoming breed of monstrous deathcore releases with true angst, emotion and meaning behind every flesh-shredding breakdown.” The band’s savage live presentation has earned them slots on tours with the likes of contemporary deathcore torchbearers Enterprise Earth, Spite, Lorna Shore, Chelsea Grin, Slaughter To Prevail, and many others.
Earlier this Spring, BODYSNATCHER appeared on eOne Heavy Live (now MNRK Heavy), a special livestream event highlighting some of eOne’s top acts. Brutal Planet hailed the band’s, “deathy, grindy set with intense precision,” while Ghost Cult lauded a, “sludgy deathcore experience with heavy-hitting tracks and entertaining personality.” Gushed Metal Noise, “the downtempo deathcore kings bring the slow pummeling rhythmic battery laden slabs of groove from the very start of their crushing set. It’s like getting hit over the head repeatedly by a concrete paving slab and loving every moment with breakdown after breakdown…”
