Slipknot - Custer


SLIPKNOT have released a Live Video clip of the track "Custer" that was earlier released as a promotional single.

After all the promotional releases, "Custer" received an official retail release in late January 2015, making for the third official single.

The song begins with percussionist Shawn Crahan describing what the tempo of the song should be. The track then quickly transgresses into one that is much more deep and forceful, opening the composition. The song contains samples of the "Screaming Goat" YouTube meme with lead vocalist Corey Taylor speaking in the manner of a radio announcer.

Metal Hammer describes the work as having "an air of the self-titled about it with Sid's scratching in the background and almost poem-esque opening verse". ArtistDirect describes the tune as '"Surfacing 2015" with a massive refrain and Faith No More-esque groove that burns and blazes with evil and engaging panache'




Todays tune is SLIPKNOTs LIVE music video for "Custer", filmed at KNOTFEST USA 2014 in San Bernardino, CA. The track is taken from the latest album ".5: The Gray Chapter"
