The tour is named after the band’s forthcoming LP of the same name which is expected to arrive this year through Century Media Records. “I’m proud to say we just finished the FIRST day of writing, recording and track selection for the New BC Album ‘MERCILESS’,” Ice-T wrote on X/Twitter back in 2022.

“Only one goal…” he said of the forthcoming album. “It’s gotta be HARDER than the last….” He then confirmed: “It already is.”

The band’s latest release was 2020’s ‘ Carnivore ‘. In a three-star review of the album , NME  wrote: “Body Count’s last album, 2017’s excellent ‘Bloodlust’, played out against a backdrop of high-profile police brutality and the blacklisting of American football player  Colin Kaepernick  by the NFL, which made stone cold belters like ‘No Lives Matter’ and ‘Civil War’ all the more potent.

“Parts of ‘Carnivore’ lack the same bite and pointed barb of its predecessor. ‘When I’m Gone’, which features  Evanescence ’s Amy Lee, groans towards dated nu-metal and the dark humour of ‘Thee Critical Beatdown’ and ‘No Remorse’ feel like directionless rants into the ether. Yet there are several stand-out tracks. ‘Bum Rush’ takes aim at everything from Trump to the Flint water crisis between squealing leads from guitarist Ernie C.”

‘Carnivore’ track ‘Bum-Rush’ was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Elsewhere, Ice-T recently offered the reasons why he thinks that the fighting game series  Def Jam  isn’t on modern platforms .

Ice-T posted on  X/ Twitter, saying that “so many people ask me why this game hasn’t been brought back for the newer consoles” and that he thinks the reason the console hasn’t been released on more modern platforms is that developer EA  would have to “pay for voice and music rights again”.

The rapper continued in  another post , writing that he doesn’t think that “they [EA] paid any of us anything to be in that original game. I know I didn’t get any type of substantial money. It was a situation where you didn’t want to be left out of the game.”

Body Count Announce 2024 European Tour

The band has been reportedly working on a new album since 2021

Body Count are back, and they’re heading across the pond. The hardcore metal group, led by Ice-T, announced Tuesday plans to trek across Europe later this year. The run will see the band perform at some of the biggest festivals around the globe, with a few exclusive headlining shows mixed in.

Check out the fill tour itinerary below now.

Back in 2021, Body Count announced on their  official Instagram account that they had begun working on a brand new album titled Merciless . The album is set to be released via Century Media. Last year, the band releases two instrumental versions of previous albums – 2020’s Carnivore and 2017’s Bloodlust .

“Even though we have not been able to perform one single concert to support the ‘Carnivore’ album because of the Global Pandemic, we’ve made the decision to fficially start the new BC [Body Count] album  Merciless  2021,” the band said in a statement at the time. “Stay tuned.”

The band released their sixth album  Carnivore  on March 6, 2020 – on the brink of the global COVID-19 pandemic that would see the live music industry shut down for over a year. The outing was one of the band’s best, cracking the Top 50 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums chart. The single “Bum-Rush” garnered Body Count the GRAMMY Award for Best Metal Performance, marking the band’s first GRAMMY win.

BODY COUNT  recently completed work on its new album,  “Merciless” . The follow-up to 2020’s “Carnivore”  is tentatively due later this year via  Century Media .

In February 2023,  Ice-T  told  Metal Hammer magazine about the musical direction of “Merciless” : “I think we are staying in the same direction. (2014’s) ‘Manslaughter’  was a reintroduction to  BODY COUNT , not to just our old fans, but to a whole new group. (2017’s)  ‘Bloodlust’  was even better than  ‘Manslaughter’ , and  ‘Carnivore’  was better than  ‘Bloodlust’ . We’re going to stay in the same vein, sound and production, but make better and better records.”

In October 2022,  Ice-T  told  Darren Paltrowitz , host of the  “Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz” , about the upcoming  BODY COUNT  LP: “ Will Putney ‘s producing again. We’ve had three consecutive great albums working with  Will ; he understands. I call him ‘the Dr. Dre  of metal,’ because he has the ability to produce different groups but make them sound like themselves, but just better.

“We did  ‘Carnivore’ , and right when our first date of touring was supposed to start, COVID hit,” he continued. “COVID hit, shut down all the stateside tour; 35 European festivals shut down; and we didn’t really get to really perform the album; we didn’t get to go out, and that kind of sucks.

“You make albums to perform ’em; you don’t make ’em just to sit at home. And we won a Grammy  on that one. That was great; that was a great accolade. It kind of took the sting out of dropping an album to a dead scene; it took the sting out of it. But then the label’s, like, ‘Okay, we’ll do another album.’ And I’m, like, ‘Wait a minute. We didn’t even really get this one out good.”

Regarding how he goes about recording vocals for a new BODY COUNT  album,  Ice-T  said: “Usually when I do songs, I’ll do the songs but I don’t complete ’em. Like, if there’s gonna be three verses, I’ll sing two and then I kind of live with them, and maybe that way I can think about how I wanna end the song and how I wanna change it up.

“I’m at a point now… When I first used to do albums, I would do, like, 20 songs and then try to pick 12. Now I’m very difficult to find the music, so by the time I pick 12, those are the 12 songs. I’m not doing a whole bunch of recording just to find that… I know what I’m doing. I’m like that photographer that knows how to just wait until the right moment to take the picture: ‘Okay, that’s one… two.’ Versus the guy who takes a bunch of pictures one after the other. I don’t need to do that.

“So the  ‘Merciless’ album is sounding pretty hard, though,” Ice-T  added. “We named the motherfucker  ‘Merciless’ .”

“Carnivore”  continued the path of its uncompromising and critically acclaimed predecessors,  “Bloodlust”  and  “Manslaugther” , 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 . Guest musicians on the LP included  Amy Lee  ( EVANESCENCE ), Dave Lombardo  (ex- SLAYER ), Jamey Jasta  ( HATEBREED ) and  Riley Gale  ( POWER TRIP ).

BODY COUNT  was honored with a  Grammy  in the “Best Metal Performance” category in the pre-telecast ceremony at the 63rd annual  Grammy Awards , which was held in March 2021 in Los Angeles. BODY COUNT was nominated for “Bum-Rush” , a track from  “Carnivore” .

About body count.

Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1990. The group is fronted by Ice-T, who co-founded the group with lead guitarist Ernie C out of their interest in heavy metal music. Ice-T took on the role of vocalist and writing the lyrics for most of the group's songs. Lead guitarist Ernie C has been responsible for writing the group's music. Their controversial self-titled debut album was released on Sire Records in 1992. The song "Cop Killer" was the subject of much controversy. Although Sire Records' parent company, Warner Bros. Records, defended the single, Ice-T chose to remove the track from the album because he felt that the controversy had eclipsed the music itself. The group left Sire the following year. Since then, they have released four further albums on different labels, none of which have been received as commercially or critically well as their debut album. Three out of the band's original six members are deceased: D-Roc died from lymphoma, Beatmaster V from leukemia and Mooseman in a drive-by shooting.

Update from Ice-T on Body Count’s upcoming “Merciless” album: he hopes to release the album before summer 2023

Body Count, the cross over band fronted by US rapper Ice-T, announced in June 2021 that they have started writing material for their next LP “Merciless” Now, according to a recent interview with Metal Hammer , the band has nine songs ready for the album, as Ice-T revealed.

The rapper said he and his bandmates are “about halfway through” recording the follow-up to 2020’s “Carnivore” with producer Will Putney, with hopes to release it before summer 2023. The group will record a total of 15 tracks for the album.

“ It hasn’t been the easiest album to record, simply because we’re coming off the heels of ‘Carnivore’. It was a great, award-winning record and we never got to perform it. Playing songs on the road is usually what inspires your next album, so we came into this kinda cold, from a dead space “, told Ice-T.

The musician also added that there is a chance to collaborate again alongside Dave Mustaine from Megadeth . “ Mustaine has got at us already. He wants to write a song. Dave worked with us on ‘Bloodlust’ — he did ‘Civil War’. But usually what we do with a Body Count album is make it first by ourselves, then call in people .”

ICE-T Hopes To Complete New BODY COUNT Album 'Merciless' Before End Of Year

BODY COUNT , the metal band fronted by hip-hop legend, actor and director Ice-T , is continuing the recording process for its new album, "Merciless" . The follow-up to 2020's "Carnivore" is tentatively due in early 2023 via Century Media .

Speaking to Darren Paltrowitz , host of the "Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz" , Ice-T stated about the upcoming BODY COUNT LP (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET ): " Will Putney 's producing again. We've had three consecutive great albums working with Will ; he understands. I call him 'the Dr. Dre of metal,' because he has the ability to produce different groups but make them sound like themselves, but just better.

"We did 'Carnivore' , and right [when] our first date of touring was supposed to start, COVID hit," he continued. "COVID hit, shut down all the stateside tour; 35 European festivals shut down; and we didn't really get to really perform the album; we didn't get to go out, and that kind of sucks.

"You make albums to perform 'em; you don't make 'em just [to sit at home]. And we won a Grammy on that one. That was great; that was a great accolade. It kind of took the sting out of dropping an album to a dead scene; it took the sting out of it. But then the label's, like, 'Okay, we'll do another album.' And I'm, like, 'Wait a minute. We didn't even really get this one out good."

According to Ice-T , he has recorded the vocals for six new BODY COUNT songs so far.

"Usually when I do songs, I'll do the songs but I don't complete 'em," he explained. "Like, if there's gonna be three verses, I'll sing two and then I kind of live with them, and maybe that way I can think about how I wanna end the song and how I wanna change it up. So I did six songs that everybody likes.

"I'm at a point now… When I first used to do albums, I would do, like, 20 songs and then try to pick 12. Now I'm very difficult to find the music, so by the time I pick 12, those are the 12 songs. I'm not doing a whole bunch of recording just to find that… I know what I'm doing. I'm like that photographer that knows how to just wait until the right moment to take the picture: 'Okay, that's one… two.' Versus the guy [who takes a bunch of pictures one after the other]. I don't need to do that.

"So the 'Merciless' album is sounding pretty hard, though," Ice-T added. "We named the motherfucker 'Merciless' . I'm hoping to have it complete before the New Year so that we could drop it next year and be ready to tour in the summer."

"Carnivore" continued the path of its uncompromising and critically acclaimed predecessors, "Bloodlust" and "Manslaugther" , 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 . Guest musicians on the LP included Amy Lee ( EVANESCENCE ), Dave Lombardo (ex- SLAYER ), Jamey Jasta ( HATEBREED ) and Riley Gale ( POWER TRIP ).

BODY COUNT was honored with a Grammy in the "Best Metal Performance" category in the pre-telecast ceremony at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards , which was held in March 2021 in Los Angeles. BODY COUNT was nominated for "Bum-Rush" , a track from "Carnivore" .

Body Count is an American speed and heavy metal band, formed in 1990 by rapper Ice-T and guitarist Ernie. C, hailing from Los Angeles, California, U.S.

Formed in 1990 by former Crenshaw High School students, lyricist Ice-T, guitarists Ernie-C and D-Roe, bassist Mooseman, and drummer Beatmaster V, Body Count’s first performance came when they played with Ice-T at his show on the 1991 Lollapalooza tour. The show exposed the band to a host of alternative music fans and subsequently Body Count’s heavy metal influence made a strong contribution to the Ice-T single of the same name on his album “O.G. Original Gangster”.

Body Count’s eponymously-titled debut album was issued in March 1992 on Sire/Warner Bros. Records to positive reviews and eventually made a number of the year’s best-of lists. The success of the album led to an international following and shows across the U.S and Europe, including one heated show in Milan, Italy that resulted in the band stealing a taxi-cab to escape from an angry mob of fans. The album caused even more controversy for the single “Cop Killer”, which got blown out of all proportion, and resulted in the song being dropped from the album and replaced with “Freedom of Speech” later in 1992.

After releasing the Jimi Hendrix cover “Hey Joe” for a tribute album to the rock n’ roll star, Body Count released their sophomore album “Born Dead” in 1994. The album was released on Ice-T’s label Priority, however failed to attract any of the positive or negative attention of its predecessor and marked the departure of bassist Mooseman. Undeterred, Ice-T and the band released their third studio album “Violent Demise: Last Days" in 1997, after which drummer Beatmaster V unfortunately died of leukaemia. The album earned positive reviews from critics who were seemingly now able to appreciate the band’s tongue-in-cheek humour, however it didn’t perform well commercially.

After a considerable hiatus, Body Count returned in 2005 and embarked on a U.S. which resulted in three live DVDs and a live CD, ahead of the band’s fourth full-length album “Murder 4 Hire” in 2006. In 2012 the band signed with Sumerian Records who released Body Count's fifth full-length album “Manslaughter” in 2014.

Thrash metal is not one of my favorite music genres, mainly because I feel as though I cannot hang with the intensity of it. However, Body Count seems to be an exception to all of the reasons I don’t choose thrash metal. A slight part of it may also have to do with the fact that I’m always all for supporting Los Angeles native bands, as a local native myself.

When they played at the Troubadour, their show was so intense! An in your face, melt your face off experience, leaving you deaf and happy. The show starts with the place completely dark and the first thing you hear is a guitar. Then the entire place lights up, and the band immediately surrounds you with their guitar and drums sound, all the while they are thrashing up and around the stage. Then front man Ice-T comes on from the side of the stage wearing none other than a Jason mask. He takes off the mask and immediately breaks into the vocals. It was a really great surprise to see the variability of his talents, especially since he is most known for being a part of the hip-hop world. He brings to the show a completely different atmosphere, one that is seemingly unique to any other thrash metal show.

It is pretty hard to stay still during a heavy metal concert due to the frantic nature of the music and seeing as Californian outfit Body Count take speed to the extreme, it becomes nearly impossible to stay motionless. The band has close to 25 years experience on the circuit albeit apart from a brief hiatus in the mid-00s so as you imagine all the musicians present this evening are incredibly well trained when it comes to their instruments, knowledge of the material and musical capabilities.

They have definitely taken their time between releasing albums yet the setlist tonight is solid and well thought out. It keeps the crowd not only engaged but also involved as Ice T often asks them to raise their hands and mosh along to the big choruses of 'Born Dead' and 'Necessary Evil'. Things run at lightning pace and twelve tracks have gone by in a blink of the aggressive eye before it is time to take things right back to where they began with a huge finale of 'Cop Killer' from their eponymous debut from way back in 1992.

BETTER then Poison and Def Leopard

HIGH energy angry fast great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great better than Ice T:)yo.

An absolutely brilliant night and all three bands put on a hell of a show and definitely see this guys again as the lead singer is one of my favourite artists of all time and his band body count is definitely one of my favourite bands of all time and extremely great live band

IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED IT WAS FUCKING CANCELLED

Awesome show, they still got it after all these years. Although, they didn't play some of the songs I and many others would have liked, still was awesome. Would see them again in a heartbeat.

Ice - T's frontman skills have not disappeared one bit. Great playing, great performance and one of the best shows so far this year. Awesome ! Dont miss body count if they come to your city.
