BODY COUNT, the metal band fronted by former pimp, legendary rapper and now television-star Ice-T, will take part in this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Ice T announced this on the latest episode of his "Final Level" podcast.
During the early and mid 1990's BODY COUNT were considered the most dangerous band in the world. The us-government saw a big threat in BODY COUNT and their message (especially in the song "Cop Killer"). The bands aggression was a product of the Los Angeles Riots, polic brutality and racism in general.
But the band isn't just a political statement, they also paved the way for all upcoming crossover/ rapcore acts and african american heavy metal bands. Their debut "Body Count (1991)" is a perfect blend between early 90's Thrash-Metal, traditional Hard Rock and Hardcore Punk.
Ther new record "Manslaugther" will be released this spring. Watch out!
Check out their classic hit "Body Count's In The House"!!!
