A unique fusion of rap and heavy metal — that’s BODY COUNT! Formed in 1990 by legendary rapper Ice-T and guitarist Ernie C in Los Angeles, the band brought an uncompromising, raw sound to the music scene, reflecting the harsh realities of street life and the frustrations of the African-American community. Their 1992 debut album sparked major controversy, mainly due to the infamous track “Cop Killer,” which provoked intense reactions from the media and politicians alike, while also igniting a crucial debate about freedom of expression in music.
Over the years, Body Count have stayed true to their gritty style, blending crushing guitar riffs with sharp, socially charged lyrics. Ice-T’s words cut deep, addressing violence, racism, corruption, and injustice, and his unapologetic delivery gives the band an unmatched authenticity. Even after three decades, Body Count command respect from both fans and critics, their live shows bursting with raw energy and untamed power — a reminder that rebellion in music is far from dead. Their upcoming performance at Brutal Assault 2026 will be an exclusive show for Central and Eastern Europe — you won’t see them anywhere else in the region next summer.
