Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus was a grindcore band from Florida. They first released a demo titled "Release .005" in 2003, while consistently playing shows and establishing a fanbase. They then released their only full length (relative to grindcore), Simian Hybrid Prototype, in 2005. The band declared that it was throwing in the towel in late 2005, but finished 3 songs for a split with Despised Icon before completely parting ways. Many of the members are now in a similar band called Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky, while the ex-vocalist is in the experimental metal band Khann.
