Ice-T and Body Count Team With David Gilmour For ‘Quite Radical’ Metal-Ized Cover of ‘Comfortably Numb’


Ice-T and Body Count have teamed up with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour for a metal-edge cover of 'Comfortably Numb' featuring new lyrics.

“Body Count’s version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ is quite radical, but the words really struck me,” said Gilmour, 78, in a statement of the new take on one of the emotional centerpiece songs from Pink Floyd’s iconic concept album The Wall. Instead, the MC talk-sings a new narrative about fearing for humanity’s future as well as chronicling the dual ravages of perpetual war and strife and time’s inexorable march toward death. The song will appear on Body Count’s upcoming studio album, Merciless, due out on Century Media Records on Nov. 22; the collection is the follow-up to the hardcore group’s Grammy-winning 2020 LP Carnivore.
