June 30th, 2021

Los Angeles, California-based metal band Body Count have released a second fan-created music video for the track ‘The Hate Is Real’. Filmed and edited by German filmmaker Jörg Harms, the clip can be viewed below.

The first fan-created music video for ‘The Hate Is Real’ was released in March and can also be viewed below. That clip was directed and edited by 25 year old Brooklyn, New York-based filmmaker Seby Martinez. Martinez was the winning contestant of a competition in which Body Count asked fans to illuminate the musical and lyrical ballistics of ‘The Hate Is Real’ by creating and submitting their own video.

Body Count issued seventh full-length studio album Carnivore on March 6th, 2020 through Century Media Records.

Carnivore was made available in the following formats: digipak CD, gatefold vinyl LP (black, transparent red and transparent blue variants) with CD (including bonus track), a limited edition 2CD box set (including three bonus tracks, the instrumental version of the album, a Body Count beanie, a metallic pin, booklet and a poster featuring the album cover artwork), and digital album.

Included on the album is a rendition of Motörhead’s ‘Ace Of Spades’, as well as a metal version of Ice-T’s 1988 hit single ‘Colors’. The outing also features a number of guest musicians, including Amy Lee (Evanescence), Dave Lombardo (ex-Slayer), Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) and Riley Gale (Power Trip).

Carnivore was produced by Will Putney for Graphic Nature Audio and by Body Count. Putney was also responsible for mixing and mastering duties.

Cover artwork was created by Polish artist Zbigniew M. Bielak.
