Slipknot are once again dealing out the mystery with the release of a discomforting new instrumental track “Death March”. And the video is creepy as it gets.
We could go “on and on and on” about Corey Taylor, the renowned vocalist who has led Slipknot and Stone Sour to massive success over the last 20 years. On the verge of his newly-announced sophomore solo album, CMF2, expected to arrive on Sept. 15, Taylor has issued the captivating new single “Beyond.” The track showcases Taylor‘s versatility as an artist, delving into a more melodic and introspective territory compared to his heavier, metal-driven endeavors. The song immediately transports listeners to a realm of contemplatation and unity that seems forgotten in our modern society. Taylor‘s distinctive vocals, brimming with emotion… Read more »
While Vera Farmiga may be known for being a horror icon on the silver screen in ‘The Conjuring’ film franchise and ‘Bates Motel’ TV series, she also has a deep-rooted passion and connection to the music industry. Farmiga’s husband, Renn Hawkey, rose to prominence as the synthesizer player of the nu-metal group Deadsy in the mid-90s. The group worked alongside several major players within the genre including a feature with KORN’s Jonathan Davis on the track “The Key to Gramercy Park” as well as Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst directing the music video for the same single.

Photo via Roadrunner Records Alright so THIS is going to be wild. Slipknot have just announced a nationwide headlining tour that features A DAY TO REMEMBER, UNDEROATH, and Code Orange. These shows are guaranteed to be massive and I love the lineup for it. I feel like if you like one band, you like all of them and now with Slipknot back, it makes sense for them to tour with bands like ADTR and UO. Especially since they are massive fans (like us) of Slipknot; I remember years ago Underoath actually dressed on stage as Slipknot during one of their… Read more »

It wasn’t a very good night for openers Killswitch Engage, as they announced right before their set that their singer had “blown his voice” and Unearth’s frontman (who already sang that night) would be filling in. Fortunately, no angry rioting ensued, not even when they cut their set short and promised to bring a better show through town next time. Their technical defeat was accepted gracefully by the pierced-and-tattooed hordes, who gave KE a roomful of raised metal horns as a salute. Without a doubt, the night belonged to Slipknot. With Number 8 (Corey Taylor) holding up a framed award… Read more »
Slipknot’s lighting guy deserves a raise. His chaotic visual display so accurately complements the band’s turbulent music that even with the sound turned off, Slipknot’s punishing assault would come across loud and clear. At Monday’s stop of the Jägermeister Music Tour, which began March 30 in Orlando, Florida, whirring red emergency lights translated the dizzying guitar lines of Jim Root and Mick Thompson. Blinding white strobes pulsed in time with Joey Jordison’s unrelenting bass drums. The sickly green hues that backlit the nine masked bandmembers manifested the music’s creepy, menacing tones, while reality-distorting black lighting frequently bathed the stage, suggesting… Read more »
After more than two years in hibernation, Slipknot are about to re-emerge with a new look and a new album, which is cryptically titled Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses. The band will don its third series of masks on this year’s Jägermeister Music Tour, which begins March 30 in Orlando, Florida.The new masks are more streamlined than those Slipknot wore on the 2002 tour for their second album, Iowa, but the look is basically the same. “It’s just an extension of what we wore last time, they just have more elaborate detail,” said drummer Joey Jordison. “You can still tell… Read more »
Music from heavy metal cult band Slipknot has been associated with the murder of a 22-year-old man in California, according to the San Bernadino Police. Twenty-year old Jason Harris and his 16-year-old friend Amber Riley have been charged with stabbing and slashing the throat of Terry Ray Taylor in April. According to the San Bernadino County Sun, police and detectives say the two accused suspects were listening to Slipknot’s music before and after they killed Taylor. Slipknot issued a “no comment” on being associated with the murder and the possibility the defense will use their music as a scapegoat. In… Read more »
