Body CountBody Count's previous album Manslaughter often focused on cartoonish violence as much as social commentary, and indicated they'd missed a few PC memos.
Bloodlust, however, was created during US election season, spurring an incensed Ice-T to condemn racism, poverty, police brutality and gang conflict. Bottling his intensity like a petrol bomb, rage infiltrates every facet of the rap legend's metal outfit and affords greater vitality. Crushing production and the frontman's contact list — Dave Mustaine, Max Cavalera and Randy Blythe — beefs up Ernie C's already bruising riffage. There's a respectfully blistering Slayer medley, too. Anger is a gift, and Body Count channel it to the fullest.
