AllMusic says "urban speed metal" and "heavy metal".[1][2]Time says heavy metal,[3] while EW says the band is "hardcore rock" (whatever that is) and the album is heavy metal.[4] So I think heavy metal should be the lead genre. The band's style is specifically described in heavy metal tropes. Binksternet (talk) 15:21, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've put a warning into the section on the Milan riot. It relies entirely on Ice-T's book. It's never good practice on Wikipedia to rely on one source, but this is particularly problematic when it was someone directly involved and likely to have some level of bias. I have read his account and I notice that there's no statement of what happened to that fan who he "clocked in the fucking nose". [See here https://archive.org/details/IceAMemoirOfGangsterLifeAndRedemptionFromSouthCentralToHollywoodByIceTAndDouglasCentury/page/n87/mode/2up?view=theater&q=october]. I have doubts that this riot was as big as made out in the book, as I had never heard about it before Ice-T published his book. He says that it was all over the Italian media at the time. I can understand that most English speakers in 1993 didn't follow the Italian media, but is there no trace that we can find of it now? Are there any online archives of Italian media that we can use, perhaps combined with Google Translate, to find other sources to go with this? If we can, we ought to use those sources to put another perspective in that section.
Just in the interests of searching around a likely timeframe, I've found one source for a Body Count gig in Milan on 22nd November 1993. Ice-T's book doesn't state when it happened, although it sounds like the first European tour after the first album.
