The wait is finally over, TEG LIVE & SONY Music are proud to announce BODY COUNT‘S eagerly-awaited return to Australia in June seeing the band perform in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne for the first time in 22 years to celebrate the release of their highly anticipated album Bloodlust.The Australian Bloodlust Tour will be the first BODY COUNT shows in the world to support the release of the new album.

Ice T says “We can’t wait to come back to Australia! It’s been over 20yrs… Don’t miss this concert.”

Bloodlust was released on Friday and features guest collaborations from Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), D. Randall Blythe (Lamb Of God) and Max Cavalera (Sepultura). The razor-sharp collection of social right hooks and body blows that paint a picture of an America in utter and complete shambles has had critics praising the record far and wide.

BODY COUNT, the gangster-metal collective that made music fearsome to mainstream America, their renegade track Cop Killer sending politicians, parents and law enforcement officials into a proverbial tailspin when it was released unto the world a quarter-century ago. That’s not to say Ice-T and BODY COUNT have been silent over the past 25 years, but as Ice is quick to point out, you can’t start a movement if people aren’t willing to move.
