Enjoy this explicit advance! - Rapper/actor/rock 'n' roller Ice-T is at it again on Body Count's Murder 4 Hire (Escapi Records), set for release on August 1, 2006. Lead guitarist Ernie C, bassist Vincent Price, drummer OT and rhythm guitarist Bendrix hit the metal hard on 12 tracks of what is sure to be controversial, argued over and demonized right from the jump. Musically, the bombast of the Murder 4 Hire metal, with all its sweeping rock grandeur, is oftentimes offset by a total all-out thrash breakdown. Lyrically, the songs range from political ("The End Game"), personal ("You Don't Know Me [Pain]") and religious ("The Passion Of The Christ"), to obsession ("In My Head"), Armageddon ("Dirty Bomb"), hate ("Lies") and "Relationships." Obviously, Body Count, circa 2006, isn't backing down from anybody or anything. A eulogy for fallen band member D-Roc is also included ("D Rocs [RIP]") as is a hilarious take on deep-south rednecks ("Down In The Bayou"). The title track is an instant hit-man anthem. The CD closes with "Mr. C's Theme," a hard rock instrumental.
