Thrash metal legends Body Count have released the savage video for their song, “All Love is Lost,” from their latest album Bloodlust, released in March of 2017. The track, co-written by Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy), and directed by Jay Rodrigues ( Itchy House Films), explores the intense emotional response following the betrayal of a loved one.
The video, ruthless and bloody, leaves subtlety to the timid, with its strangulation and body bags. Lyrics like, “You did some shit to me that I could never do to you/ ‘Cuase I’m not no fake champ, I’m not no punk bitch/ You’re lucky I ain’t put your ass in some dark ditch/ And now you want some type of sympathy from me now?/ If you were stabbed on the floor I’d watch you bleed out,” offer the ultimate revenge fantasy.
Hip hop pioneer turned actor Ice-T spoke with Consequences of Sound to discuss the band’s sixth album, Bloodlust, and his connection to the streets. “You may have never had somebody kill your kid; you may have never had to watch your best friend bleed out; you DO want to go after them – and they do do it. As bad as that is, there’s a method to that madness. There’s a madness to the streets, but there’s a reason for it. And I think I’m one of the only people that can explain it. And I think that’s my duty.”
