Description
Body Count's Body Count is a story of revolution and resistance. In 1991, Ice-T introduced his hardcore band Body Count to the world with their debut album O.G. Original Gangster, which brought together lead guitarist Ernie C and rhythm guitarist D-Roc the Executioner among others. The band's music sparked nationwide protests and boycotts, including death threats and a spot on the FBI National Threat list. The album's impact was significant, but its removal from stores remains a testament to the controversy it caused. Decades later, Body Count are performing to their biggest audiences and greatest acclaim, pulling off one of the most remarkable comebacks in punk or metal history. This book draws from years of research and dozens of new interviews to tell the story of a band that brought explosive live performances and raised questions about America's lawmakers didn't want to answer. Through its pages, Body Count's Body Count sheds light on the band's journey from humble beginnings to global recognition, and the cultural conversation they helped shape.
