BODY COUNT: New Single To Arrive This Month

BODY COUNT, the metal band fronted by hip-hop legend, actor and director Ice-T, will release the first single and video from its upcoming “Carnivore” album on December 13. The LP is tentatively due in early 2020.

Back in June 2018, Ice-T told Iain Chambers that BODY COUNT wanted to up the ante with its next album after setting a high standard with its last two studio releases.

“When we did 2014’s ‘Manslaughter’, it was 20 years since the previous record, and I just wanted to see if we had a fanbase, and we did,” he said. “We outdid ‘Manslaughter’ with ‘Bloodlust’, and the posse grew. So now we’ve gotta outdo ‘Bloodlust’. That’s our only goal — not to make the greatest rock album in history; it’s just to outdo ‘Bloodlust’.“

“Bloodlust” was released in March 2017. The disc included contributions from MEGADETH’s Dave Mustaine, SOULFLY and CAVALERA CONSPIRACY’s Max Cavalera and LAMB OF GOD’s Randy Blythe.

“Bloodlust” was recorded with producer Will Putney (MISS MAY I, UPON A BURNING BODY), who also helmed “Manslaughter”. The effort contained BODY COUNT’s medley of the SLAYER songs “Postmortem” and “Raining Blood”.
