Body.Blood.Skin.Mind is the debut album by Australian heavy metal band Dreadnaught (also styled as Deadnought or Dreadnought). The line-up of Damon Alcock on guitar, Andy Livingston-Squires on bass guitar, Richie Poate on guitar and keyboard, Greg Trull on vocals and Aaren Suttil on drums were recorded at Hothouse Audio studio during 1995. It was released in 1996 by independent label, Deported Records, in 1996. It was re-released by BlahBlahBlah Records in the following year.

The track, "Flowers", was issued on cassette as a single in 1995. "Dripping" features a sample of news coverage of the on-air suicide of R. Budd Dwyer. The final track, "Return of the Astral Traction Bleeder (Transmogrification Mix)", is an instrumental, prefaced by approximately 15 minutes of the sounds of a thunderstorm.

Neil Vance of Heavy Mag described the group's history, in June 2017, "From way back a mere twenty-one years ago in '96 and the release of body.blood.skin.mind we were treated to an album which was something special and that we hadn't heard before. Yes, that was a time when metal bands were dipping their toes in experimental sounds and noisescapes. Too many to mention I'm sure you appreciate but you know what I mean. That song 'Flowers' still gets me every time."[1]
