Body Count is back with “Psychopath” – their first new single since 2020’s “Bum-Rush,” which won a GRAMMY® Award for Best Metal Performance. The explosive new track, which features Fit for An Autopsy vocalist Joe Bad, shows Ice-T and crew on maximum killing overdrive and primed for the next chapter of the legendary L.A.-based band’s 35+ year career. Longtime collaborator Will Putney (Knocked Loose, The Ghost Inside) produced the song, which was released today via Century Media Records.

The band’s EU/UK “Merciless Tour” will kick off on June 5 at Mystic Festival in Poland and bring Body Count to some of the world’s biggest festivals and venues across more than a dozen countries. After returning to the States, they’ll perform at Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY and Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA. Tickets are available here.

“Psychopath” is from Body Count’s forthcoming album, Merciless, the follow-up to Carnivore, released to critical acclaim in March 2020 – just a week before COVID shut the entire world down. For Body Count, it’s been a history of being both respected and feared – a barbed-wire thread that stretches back to the band’s origins as a project between Ice-T and Crenshaw High friend, Ernie C. Their first shot fired, the song, “Body Count,” was a mission statement on Ice-T’s 1991 O.G. – Original Gangster. That’s the blueprint they’ve been running on for 35+ years.
