Body Count are back with a new track, Fuck What You Heard
Fuck What You Heard is a track off Body Count’s forthcoming album, Merciless. Their last release, Carnivore, was released in 2020 and earned the band a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. The band recently finished their European and United Kingdom Merciless Tour, and will headline at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY, and the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA this fall.

For Body Count, it’s been a history of being both respected and feared – a barbed-wire thread that stretches back to the band’s origins as a project between Ice-T and Crenshaw High friend, Ernie C. Their first shot fired, the song, “Body Count,” was a mission statement on Ice-T’s 1991 O.G. – Original Gangster.
They touched a nerve with their first, self-titled 1991 album and its divisive track, “Cop Killer,” which inspired generations of bands to follow. What they took from growing up with Black Sabbath and being inspired by fellow L.A. legends like Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies has only upped the ante for generations of metal heads and hardcore fans. Body Count’s current line-up includes surviving OG’s Ice, Ernie C. and Sean E Sean joined by bassist Vincent Price, drummer Will “Ill Will” Dorsey, Juan “Juan of the Dead” Garcia and backing vocalist Little Ice.
