Body Count release new music video for ‘Comfortably Numb’

BODY COUNT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Comfortably Numb, is taken from the crossover thrash/rap-metal band’s upcoming new album, Merciless, which is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Century Media Records.

The new single is the latest single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Fuck What You Heard and Psychopath.

Speaking about the new single, frontman Ice-T explains, “for me, Comfortably Numb, is an introspective song—it’s me acknowledging that I’m older now. I’m telling the younger generation, you’ve got two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up. It’s me trying to make sense of what’s happening, but also pointing out that we’re all in a place where we don’t have to face reality. We’ve got flat-screen TVs and popcorn, and we can just sit back and watch the chaos of the world like it’s a TV show. It doesn’t feel real until it shows up at your door. I’m a little numb, too—we all are.”

David Gilmour comments, “BODY COUNT‘s version of Comfortably Numb is quite radical, but the words really struck me. It astonishes me that a tune I wrote almost 50 years ago is back with this great new approach. They’ve made it relevant again. The initial contact from Ice-T was for permission to use the song, but I thought I might offer to play on it as well. I like the new lyrics, they’re talking about the world we’re living in now, which is quite scary. Ice-T and BODY COUNT played in London recently, sadly I couldn’t make it, but if another opportunity came up to play with them, I’d jump at it.”
