Drummer Spencer Bowman comments:
Armatures lyrics are written from the perspective of someone who is wrestling with who they are as a person, both physically and emotionally. Its a notion that hits close to home with us. The song is a big departure from our earlier work, and we think it gives a good impression of what people can expect from Egressor.
Taking their name from a Clive Barker short story and shifting gears from jazz (which most of the members studied at Vancouver Island University) to progressive metal, the band combine poly-metric grooves, aggressive screams and soaring vocal melodies to push the boundaries of modern metal music with technically impressive musicianship to follow up their 2011 debut album 'All Too Human' (also available for free download at the following link http://thebodypolitic.bandcamp.com/). Their emotionally charged songs incorporate an element of playfulness that has lead THE BODY POLITIC to stand out in a vast metal crowd and to perform opening slots for Tesseract, Protest The Hero and Scale The Summit plus multiple Western Canadian tours with their evolution.
In additional news, the band will be performing at this year's Beaver Fest in Valley View, AB on August 29th alongside Protest The Hero, Silverstein, Comeback and many more.

These guys show an uncanny understanding of how to balance disparate elements into a cohesive, pleasing whole. In fact, for an unsigned band, their ability is beyond exceptional and surpasses that of many signed acts. . . This band has a real chance to become a leader in the progressive metal field. Mike Korn, ReviewYou
All Too Human shows off the whole bands abilities, with futuristic sounds and some obviously talented musicians, theyre already way ahead of some of their contemporaries. Emma Newlyn, Indie Music Reviewer
The Body Politic deliver an incredible live performance; youll be groovin and throwing down before you know it. . . With the perfect mix of hard rock and progressive metal, the songs off their latest album, All Too Human are irresistible attention-getters. Clayton Rourke, The Minds Eye
A magnificent beast . . . something much more than your everyday progressive rock band. Wonderful, Bravo! Review
All Too Human is all in all a solid album. A strong debut that showcases TBPs talent and diversity . . . its a good thing when I hear every sonic element perfectly balanced on a record. MusicEmissions.com
Make no mistake, these are virtuoso musicians, mind boggling performers and very, VERY funny dudes to hang out with at a party. Im serious. They tell jokes. The Soundbox Recording Studio
