A new generation of metal heads better brace themselves for the return of Body Count with their Sumerian Records debut Manslaughter. This is the group that dropped hip-hop attitude into heavy metal and hard rock music before Rage Against The Machine, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park were even making records. Body Count is a METAL band fronted by the legendary rapper Ice T who drops knowledge, violent stories and verbal middle fingers over mosh pit inducing riffs. Ice-T and co-founder/lead guitarist Ernie C have perfected their mix of thrash, punk and bottom heavy doom across five albums, hitting a zenith with the unstoppable Manslaughter. Backed by bassist Vincent Price (with Body Count now for nearly 15 years), drummer Ill Will (joined in 2009) and new guitarist Juan Garcia of EVILDEAD. They embody the monumental Southern California tradition of street born punk bands like Suicidal Tendencies combined with the aggressive aural napalm of Slayer. From the punk bite of their gold debut through the metallic triumph of Born Dead (1994), Violent Demise: The Last Days (1997) and Murder 4 Hire (2006), to the all-encompassing Body Count vibe of Manslaughter, which merges the strengths of the band's entire catalogue. Supercharged with the same spirit as when the band first assembled over two decades ago, BODY COUNT is back to reclaim the crown for vicious thrash metal/hardcore crossover, arriving just as circle pits and denim vests make a return to the underground. The Big 4 has been celebrated, legendary thrash bands like Testament and Exodus are making some of the best work. The time is now for Body Count to re-enter the fray!
