10 Perfect Heavy Metal Songs To Listen To When You're Angry

7. Body Count - Manslaughter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ImwJKgdFHA The latest entry on the list and quite possibly the most lyrically incendiary as well, Body Count and Ice-T attempt to put the world to rights on the title track of their latest LP Manslaughter. After a long hiatus of almost a decade the band returned in 2014, sounding reinvigorated and ready to launch their trademark sonic attacks on a new generation of unsuspecting citizens. The song begins with some no frills thrash before zeroing in on a constant dual guitar chug accompanying Ice-T on his witch hunt of men as he laments their 'manhood' in a lyrical onslaught. The band could care less about being politically correct which is part of their twisted charm as they hark back to a different time in rock music. Ice-T's sheer anger is infectious as is the straightforward drum pounds and razor edged riffs. Just how this managed to get shown on the Craig Ferguson show also is a mystery, but the band certainly don't hold back regardless. Angriest Lyric: "Men had to be about something, Men had to give a f**k, Men had to power through it, A man just can€™t give up".
