BODY COUNT – Release Single & Video To “Bum Rush”

“Bum-Rush”, the new music video from BODY COUNT, the metal band fronted by hip-hop legend, actor and director Ice-T, can be seen below. The clip was shot in New York as well as Los Angeles and it was produced and directed by Jay Rodriguez for Itchy House Films. The New York footage was shot by Eric Mittleman.

“Bum-Rush” is taken from BODY COUNT’s seventh studio album, “Carnivore”, which will be released on March 6 via Century Media. BODY COUNT’s second album for Century Media continues the path of its uncompromising and critically acclaimed predecessors, “Bloodlust” (2017) and “Manslaugther” (2014), in pairing Ice-T’s impassioned and socio-critical lyrics with thick guitar riffs and nods to metal and hardcore greats like SLAYER, METALLICA, PANTERA, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. Bangers like “Thee Critical Beatdown”, “The Hate Is Real” and the title track will please old-school BODY COUNT fans, while “Colors” is a killer metal version of Ice-T’s 1988 hit single of the same name. With MOTÖRHEAD’s classic “Ace Of Spades”, BODY COUNT is again paying tribute to one of its major musical influences. “When I’m Gone” shows a new side of BODY COUNT and features guest vocals by Amy Lee (EVANESCENCE). Other guest musicians include Dave Lombardo (ex-SLAYER), Jamey Jasta (HATEBREED) and Riley Gale (POWER TRIP).

“Carnivore” will be available as a digipak CD, as gatefold LP+CD (including bonus track) and as limited 2CD box set (including three bonus tracks, the instrumental version of the album, a BODY COUNT beanie, a metallic pin and a poster featuring the cover artwork created by Zbigniew M. Bielak).
