Body Count are not our latest band spotlight because you don't know who they are. Hell, they are infamous! How many rock bands still scare crusty old white people in 2017? Powerflo and Prophets Of Rage are helping bring actually good rap metal back, but Body Count hit the biggest grand slam of late with Bloodlust. The thrash act have been around since "Cop Killer" was the most controversial song in the world, but recently soared back to prominence in the metal scene with topical songs capturing current headlines. "Civil War", "No Lives Matter" and the new album's strongest cut "Black Hoodie" - paired with cameos from Dave Mustaine, Max Cavalera and Randy Blythe plus charismatic spoken intros from Ice-T - have secured the band respect well beyond a novelty status they never deserved. Bloodlust has been out a few months now and remains in heavy rotation for many of us.
