Contents

In its first week, it debuted at number 3 in the UK Rock and Metal Chart. The track "Here I Go Again" is a re-recording of a demo track from frontman Ice-T's Return of the Real sessions. The track "Black Hoodie" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. [10] The second track, "No Lives Matter", addresses the role of race in social inequality. "All Love Is Lost" is about husbands who are having an affair with their mistresses behind their wives' backs and features Max Cavalera on guitar and vocals. The video features actress Kelli Giddish (Ice-T's co-star on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit ) playing the role of the vindictive wife who kills her husband because he's cheating on her. The album contains a cover of "Raining Blood" from Slayer; the title was changed to "Raining in Blood" for publishing reasons. [11]
