More Body Count Body Count Profile

US thrash metal legends Body Count will return to Australia this June for three headline shows in support of their new record, Bloodlust.

The Ice-T fronted group’s last stint Down Under was back in 1995 as part of the one-off Alternative Nation festival that toured Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

A waitlist on the TEG Live website has Body Count performing ​three East Coast shows, with the Daily Telegraph confirming early June dates and possible Ice-T solo shows.

“I’ll always recall fondly being staggered at the volume — both numerically and sonically — of “motherfuckers” uttered by Ice-T during his consecutive solo and Body Count sets,” Steve Bell, writing for The Music, said of Alternative Nation.
