The rap-metal pioneers Body Count from Los Angeles, California will release their new album "Carnivore" on March 6, 2020 via Century Media Records. The title track is now available. In the summer, the band led by the legendary Ice-T will perform live on five occasions in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Since the beginning of their band history, Body Count has caused a stir far beyond scenes and subcultures. On one hand, there is the legendary status of band leader Ice-T as one of the most important figures in West Coast gangsta rap of the 1980s and 1990s. On the other hand, there was the highly innovative fusion of rap, metal, and hardcore/punk, with which Body Count pioneered. The song "Cop Killer" sparked additional uproar and controversy with its depiction of police violence in Los Angeles in the early 1990s. Two more album releases followed in the 90s until the band went on hiatus for a while.
A video for the new song "Carnivore" has been released, which can be accessed at the following link:

In the mid-2000s, the legendary Body Count reformed. However, it wasn't until the 2017 album "Bloodlust" that the band was able to reconnect with the furious successes of their early years. Music critics, audiences, and peers all agreed: Body Count are at the peak of their creativity. This is set to continue seamlessly with the new work "Carnivore". The seventh studio album by Body Count will be released in the 30th anniversary year of the group. The turbulent times we live in make a furious, socially critical contribution from Ice-T, Ernie C, and co. in the form of a new album almost necessary. With the eponymous pre-release song "Carnivore", Body Count reveals the visually stunning, detail-loving album cover by Polish artist Zbigniew M. Bielak in the video. With the album pre-order starting on January 10, 2020, Body Count plans to reveal more song titles and guest musicians.
