Bodycage showcases Nadja’s signature guitar-and-drum-machine onslaught, a relentless, suffocating soundscape that still retained a disquieting melodic undercurrent. This album further cemented their status in the experimental metal scene.
- Bodycage was Nadja's first release on the esteemed Robotic Empire label, a move that significantly broadened their audience. The album was recorded and mixed by the band themselves in their Montreal studio. It was released on CD and limited vinyl, with the vinyl pressing selling out quickly due to high demand.
- This album is noted for its dense, immersive production, characteristic of Nadja's work. The dual elements of crushing guitars and ethereal ambient textures are particularly well-balanced here.
- Despite its relatively concise runtime, Bodycage is an exhaustive listening experience, a hallmark of Nadja's approach to extreme, yet often beautiful, sound.
Nadja is the duo of Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff, based in Montreal, producing a unique, suffocating blend of doom metal and ambient noise. Bodycage marked a shift towards more concise, song-oriented structures within their established sound.
