Bloodlust is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Body Count, released March 31, 2017, by Century Media Records. It is their first recorded with new hype man Little Ice, the son of frontman Ice-T.
In its first week, it debuted at number 3 in the UK Rock and Metal Chart. The track "Here I Go Again" is a re-recording of a demo track from frontman Ice-T's Return of the Real sessions. The track "Black Hoodie" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.[3] The second track, "No Lives Matter", addresses the role of race in social inequality. "All Love Is Lost" is about husbands who are having an affair with their mistresses behind their wives' backs and features Max Cavalera on guitar and vocals. The video features Ice-T's Law & Order: SVU co-star Kelli Giddish (Amanda Rollins), in the role of the vindictive wife who kills her cheating husband and buries him. The album contains a cover of "Raining Blood" from Slayer; the title was changed to "Raining in Blood" for publishing reasons.[4]
