up rapper and BODYCOUNT frontman ICE-T on "One Bullet Left" from the
group's forthcoming True Carnage disc. According to frontman Chris Barnes,
"it was a serious honor to work with Ice on this track. I've wanted to work
with Ice since '93 when I was still in CANNIBAL CORPSE and we opened for
BODYCOUNT at Metalfest. I've been a fan of his music for years, and I want
to let you all know this song kills!! Ice wrote some sick lyrics for his
part of the song, and I haven't been able to stop listening to this since we
recorded the track. It's very, very aggressive, and I'm really proud of what
we did on this one. This is in no way rap-rock or anything like that."
