Slipknot - Unsainted


"Unsainted" is a song by American heavy metal band SLIPKNOT. It was released as the lead single from their sixth studio album "We Are Not Your Kind" on May 16, 2019, accompanied by its music video, see it below. This is the first SLIPKNOT single released since "All Out Life", which was released on October 31, 2018, as well as their first single without their former percussionist Chris Fehn who was fired from the band due to a lawsuit earlier in 2019.


A music video directed by Shawn "Clown" Crahan was released alongside the song on May 16 and has, as of December 2019 over 67 million views on YouTube. Blistein characterized the video as full of "creepy, cultish imagery". It ends with Corey Taylor walking out of a church to find he and the other members of the band turned into statues, then proceeding to light his statue on fire. Luke Morton of Kerrang! called the video "a lot to take in", writing that it is "full of kaleidoscopic visuals, religious iconography, and fire".

"Oh, I’ll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know? 
I didn’t come this far to sink so low/I’m finally holding on to letting go"


SLIPKNOTs tour supporting their new record, "We Are Not Your Kind", began in Europe earlier this year and the group has announced their 2020 return, this time bringing BEHEMOTH with them.

The tour begins on Jan. 14 in Dublin, Ireland and will hit over 20 cities before wrapping up on Feb. 24 in Helsinki, Finland, see all the dates below for Europe and the upcoming Knotfest Roadshow. For fans in Europe, it's a partial taste of the Knotfest Roadshow that's currently sweeping through North America, which features BEHEMOTH as well as VOLBEAT and GOJIRA.

Head to Slipknot's website for more ticketing information and see the complete list of dates below.

Tonight they play in Sweden, yes I'm not there this evening, have a family business to attend to as to oldest girl is turning one year older.

So in the meanwhile, we spin a tune with SLIPKNOT, taken from their latest record and wish them all the luck tonight and send a big hug to BEHEMOTH aswell.
