 "I
DON'T get it when people complain that baseball games are too long," says Daron
Malakian, watching the action from a seat behind home plate at Dodger Stadium
during one of the team's recent home games.
"This is my favorite place in the
world. I don't care how long it goes, I'll be here to the end."
This most wholesome and mainstream of settings probably isn't the place you'd
picture as Malakian's chosen refuge, given the apocalyptic, dissident,
disillusioned, angry, irreligious scenarios that belch from the self-titled
debut album by his new band, Scars on Broadway. |

Body Count
Body Count
Ice-T is back with a new record from Body Count, whose sound influenced a whole generation of rock/rap artists including Korn, Limp Bizkit, Rage Against The Machine and dozens of others. The band's self-titled debut in 1992 included the controversial track “Cop Killer” which was protested vehemently by conservatives, the religious right, the NRA, police activist groups and the FBI.
After losing three of Body Count's original members and trying to record a new album throughout one tragedy after another, Ice and Ernie C reformed the band and recorded Murder 4 Hire , first release in nearly 10 years, out on metal label Escapi Music. They have also released a live DVD shot at the Troubadour in LA.
“For me, honestly,” says Ice, “after something like that, you can either come to a dead stop or you can go on...It was make-or-break. The key essence of Body Count is it's a band made up of friends. It's not about going out and hiring the best drummer or the best guitarist. If we don't know you, you can't be in the band.” info@metaljudgment.com
