“Body Count’s Bloodlust is timely and unforgiving. Ice-T has not missed a beat – it’s brutally honest, hard as fuck and about damn time.” – Briggs, A.B. Original
“Powerful and explosive track from one of Hip Hops OG’s! United we stand, Divided we fall. #blacklivesmatter” –K.Sera at 96.1’s Hip Hop show
“The band’s most focused, vicious offering since their 1992 debut.” – Rolling Stone Australia
“As deadly serious as it is entertaining – Bloodlust is legit.”- Lochlan Watt, triple j ‘The Racket’
“It’s 46 minutes of hate and anger to bang your head to, backed by some of the best guitar riffs in hardcore to date.”?– Josh Merriel, triple j ‘Short.Fast.Loud’
“Anger is a gift, and Body Count channel it to the fullest.” – 4/5 stars – themusic.com.au
“Black or white; wrong or right — Body Count are back; not dead yet. Power.” – Heavy Magazine
“Ice and the BC crew are tired, pissed off and an inch away from going postal on y’all. It’s exactly what makes Body Count an unstoppable force.” – Hysteria Magazine
“Pissed-off-yet-polished production that sounds Godzilla-huge, songs that are aggressive but still inviting, and riffs, choruses, and breakdowns that aren’t hooks so much as they’re magnets”. 4/5 stars – MetalSucks.net
“Body Count don’t just rock, they also bite.” – 4/5 stars – TeamRock
“This is abrasive, in-your-face heavy metal at its very finest.” – Metal Rules

“An amazing collection and Body Count at their very, very best. Thoroughly sensational.” – Silver Tiger Media

“Music happens in climates,” the BODY COUNT frontman says when asked about his expectations for the band’s new opus, the aptly titled Bloodlust, a razor-sharp collection of social right hooks and body blows that paint a picture of an America in utter and complete shambles.
