In 2020, Body Count won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance, although since that moment they had not released new material. Now they break that record silence with “Psychopath”, a single that has been produced by Will Putney (Knocked Loose, The Ghost Inside).
Body Count were a real breath of fresh air when they emerged in Los Angeles thirty-five years ago. His style was hard and raw, powerful and above all very critical of American society and government control. What initially seemed like a passing project by rapper and actor Ice-T has ended up becoming a solid project with various releases and has released several albums since its appearance.
“Psychopath” has been produced again – it will be their third album with them – by one of the tough producers of the moment, Will Putney, and once again shows a band that still has something to say and to say it very loudly. The song will be part of “Merciless”, the group’s new album about which Ice-T comments: “When we started making records, I made twenty songs and then we chose twelve. Now it’s harder for me to find the music, but when I choose twelve songs, I’m clear that there will be those twelve. We don’t make a lot of recordings to find what we want. Now I know what I want and I’m like a photographer who waits for the exact moment to have the photograph and then shoots. very hard and powerful, so it will be the fucked one ‘Merciless’”.
