Bodymore Zero

You Don't Invite the Devil in by Chance; You Must Play with Intent.

Taking place ten years before the events of Bleed More, Bodymore, Ralph Reagan is the drummer for his best friend’s band, Bad Ass Idiot Train. Baltimore locals know it for the unique sound, the wild concerts, and the even wilder frontman, KC. The two are as close as brothers, but couldn’t be more different. Ralph is quiet, laidback, and doesn’t seem to fit in with the lifestyle while the only appropriate way to describe KC is hellion. Riots, street brawls, and fierce resistance to authority leaves a path of destruction in KC’s wake.

While trouble can be avoided for a time, it can’t be entirely dodged. The ghosts of KC’s past haunt him through the handprints left in his house, the voices in his head, and the way Baltimore calls out to him in the graffiti. The voices call endlessly, hoping to tempt KC into killing the person beside him who doesn’t belong.

Rage and regret guide his hands to Ralph’s neck after a concert. His saving grace is KC’s defiance. Ralph escapes with his life, but KC does not.

Ralph's mourning the loss of his brother and the only family he’s ever known when he receives a phone call from the last person he expected: KC. Not dead, but waiting to be picked up from a nearby Taco Bell. Reunion proves something’s off with KC. He’s bloodthirsty, angry, and shorter-tempered than ever. Though he wants to continue where they left off, it appears as though no one recognizes him, but Ralph and their bassist. Ralph will do anything it takes to make things go back to normal, even if it means giving up a part of himself. Meanwhile, the trail of bodies he’s leaving puts Ralph at the center of a detective’s crosshairs, and the unfathomable spirit inhabiting Baltimore hasn’t given up on its mission to find Ralph.
