Regarding the song "Bitch In The Pit", which can be streamed below, Ice-T told Revolver magazine: "Most of the inspiration for my records is that I plan on singing them onstage. So I try to think of things that the crowd is going though or I'm going though.
"Every time we do a show, you're always staring at that mosh pit and there's usually that one girl in there or a couple of girls in the middle of the mosh pit and they're very interesting. So I was thinking this is a way I could dedicate a record to the girls that go to the rock concerts and go hard. It never fails. It's kinda like a true story. It's an homage to the girls that really get in the mosh pit with the guys."
BODY COUNT's current lineup includes bassist Vince Dennis (a.k.a. Vincent Price; STEEL PROPHET) and guitarist Juan Garcia (a.k.a. Juan Of The Dead; AGENT STEEL, EVILDEAD),the latter of whom made his live debut with the group in November 2013 at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas.
