Ice-T Reforms Bodycount Metal Band - AllHipHop

Ice-T Reforms Bodycount Metal Band

Ice-T has reformed his controversial heavy metal band Body Count and is finishing up a new album tentatively titled Violent Demise – The Last Days. “It’s about street sh*t. It’s about b*tches,” Ice-T told AllHipHop.com. “I’m just trying to bring back that sinister, evil, violent sounding metal. I listen to the other rock-rap groups, but they’re not as evil as BC. We sound a lil’ more sinister.” The group, known for the heat it took after releasing 1992’s “Cop Killer,” was on a lengthy hiatus due to internal problems in the group. “Body Count stopped because of death,” Ice-T told AllHipHop.com. “Beat Master V, the drummer, died of leukemia and Moose Man got killed in the hood. He was in his neighborhood and some n*ggas just rolled up on him and blasted him. He lived in a gang area. He got hit in the back running. What happened with the loss of two members, we couldn’t get that chemistry with new players and so it took a while.” Ice also attributed the group’s temporary lay off due to the group members success and the state of the world, saying that war and terrorism actually revitalized the group. “We came out, we made so much money, it was hard for them n*ggas to come to rehearsal. They ain’t been stars in awhile so they ready to work. Plus war kinda brought back that energy we needed. September 11 really did it for that energy we needed for Body Count to exist,” Ice continued. “We’re a real aggressive band and with everybody happy and ‘bling bling, with rims spinning, we sound a lil’ angry.” The new members are OT, the drummer and a new bass player named Vincent Price. With the additional members, Ice-T said that Body Count is now among the rare all black heavy metal bands. Body Count drew intense heat from law makers when they first released their self titled debut album. In July of 1992, 1,100 shareholders crammed into Time Warner’s annual meeting. Police representatives and other critics blasted the company for releasing “Cop Killer” over a five hour session. Even NRA honcho Charlton Heston joined in, denouncing Time Warner for shipping the song to radio. The subsequent pressure led Time Warner to drop the group. Ice-T has since taken an independent route to his music, releasing his albums on the Internet and most recently signing a deal for his Final Level Entertainment with New York based indie, Penalty Associated Labels. “With the computers, you can cut a record pretty cheap now,” Ice said. “My thing with records now is get the money, finish the record and then sell the record. I’m not into the A&R thing.”
