Merciless is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Body Count. It was released on November 22, 2024, via Century Media Records. Production was handled by Ice-T, Vincent Price and Will Putney. It features guest appearances from Corpsegrinder, Howard Jones, Joe Bad, and Max Cavalera.
The album is based on vocalist Ice-T's love of horror movies, a theme he decided on while in New Jersey during the COVID-19 pandemic: <blockquote>"I was watching horror movies, serial killers, all this sâÂÂ. So before you know it, thereâÂÂs a song called âÂÂThe Purge.â ThereâÂÂs a song called âÂÂPsychopath.â IâÂÂm looking at this new election coming. IâÂÂm like, âÂÂthese motherfâÂÂs are gangbanging.â All these different topics are coming to my head, and we make the next record."</blockquote>
