Body Count has won the “Best Metal Performance” Grammy Award for the song “Bum-Rush”! This song comes from the 2020 album “Carnivore”.
The nominees in the “Best Metal Performance” category were: Body Count – “Bum-Rush”, Code Orange – “Underneath”, In This Moment – “The In-Between”, Poppy – “Bloodmoney” and Power Trip – “Executioner’s Tax (Swing of the Axe) – Live”.
Ice-T, Body Count’s frontman, told about being nominated for a Grammy (in an Consequence of Sound interview): “Well, I think my first reaction was more insane when we got nominated for the album before this [‘Bloodlust’], when we got nominated for ‘Black Hoodie’. I thought it was a joke. I couldn’t believe it. Now, for us to get a nomination on our next album after that, I was, like, ‘Really?!’ I guess somebody over there at the Grammys really enjoys what I’m doing. So, it’s a very exciting moment. We lost last time. I think just to be nominated, it sounds corny, with all the thousands and thousands of records that come out every year, is a great accomplishment and we’ll take that. Of course, we want to win but it’s mind-blowing”.
