“Another fast moving Body Count track continuing my attempt to wake people up”
– Ice T-
Today the originators of Rap Metal BODY COUNT give the world another taste of their up – coming album “Carnivore” (out March 6th via Century Media Records).
Check out the video & track “Bum – Rush”HERE! The video was shot in New York as well as Los Angeles and it was produced and directed by Jay Rodriguez for Itchy House Films. The NY footage was shot by Eric Mittleman.
“CARNIVORE”, the band’s second album for CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS, continues the path of its uncompromising and critically acclaimed predecessors, “Bloodlust” (2017) and “Manslaughter” (2014), in pairing ICE-T’s angry 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.

This week’s Spotify playlist is a return to the ’80s – just like we hope the temperatures in New York City will be next week…it’s been hot as Hell here. Anyway, kick off your weekend with a dozen classic tracks from Carnivore, Crimson Glory, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Obituary, Pestilence, Sepultura, Tokyo Blade, Toxik, Whiplash, Witch Cross, and Znöwhite! Enjoy!
Today would have been Carnivore and Type O Negative frontman Pete Steele‘s 51st birthday. Naturally, we thought this offered the perfect theme for our weekly Spotify playlist. So here’s a 15-song selection of tracks by both those bands, as well as “Enemy of the State,” the track Pete sang on the Roadrunner United album. (For hardcore Type O fans, we offer a longer, more in-depth playlist of just their songs, right here.)
