GRAMMY award-winning Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1990.
The group is fronted by Ice-T, who first established himself as a rapper,
but co-founded the group with lead guitarist Ernie C out of their interest in
heavy metal music. Ice-T took on the role of vocalist and writing the
lyrics for most of Body Count‘s songs, while Ernie C has been responsible
for writing the group’s music.
Ice-T‘s lyrics focus on reality-based themes, including gang life,
because he felt it would be scarier than the fantasy-based horror themes of most
heavy metal bands.
When the band’s debut album was released, Ice-T defined it as being "a
rock album with a rap mentality". While a good portion of Body Count‘s
lyrics are current issues, Ice-T notes that he also considers Body
Count "grindhouse", and that some of the songs are humorous exaggerations of
violence. He also expects fans to be able to tell the difference.
Body Count‘s musical style derives from the dark, ominous tones of
traditional heavy metal bands such as Black Sabbath and thrash metal
bands such as Slayer, as well
as hardcore punk’s aggressiveness.
The presence of a rapper in a heavy metal band has been credited for paving the
way for the rise of rap metal and nu metal.
