Kerrang!Mar 31, 2017Murderous fantasy-fulfillment, it may be. But nobody does it better. [25 Mar 2017, p.50]
-
Mar 31, 2017A few lesser tracks overplay the voyeuristic horror-movie violence, but otherwise Body Count are sounding much more like hardcore elder statesmen than a shock-rock side project.
-
Mar 31, 2017Bloodlust may be pugilistic to a fault, but whatever it lacks in poeticism it more than makes up for in raw power.
-
Jun 23, 2017Bloodlust is close to being a political metal manifesto of sorts, and a convincing one too--but the gangsta tropes have long outstayed their welcome.
-
Apr 17, 2017It’s a solid listen in its own right.

Apr 13, 2017They keep the music raw enough that it sounds almost-but-not-quite amateurish--again, following in the hardcore/early-thrash tradition--while Marrow’s willingness to indulge in comic absurdity with the lyrics makes Body Count’s preachiness more palatable.
