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"

Slipknot - The Devil In I

"The Devil In I” is the second taste from Slipknots upcoming fifth album ".5: The Gray Chapter"

Slipknot is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. Formed in 1995, the group was founded by percussionist Shawn Crahan and bassist Paul Gray. After several lineup changes in their early days, the band consisted of nine members for the greater part of their tenure: Sid Wilson, Paul Gray, Joey Jordison, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Corey Taylor. However, the death of Paul Gray on May 24, 2010 and the departure of Joey Jordison on December 12, 2013, left the band with seven remaining members.

Slipknot is well known for its attention-grabbing image, aggressive music style, and energetic and chaotic live shows. Yes they are frecking crazy live, it’s a must see ”Live” act once in a life time. 

The band enjoyed a somewhat meteoric rise to success following the release of their self-titled debut album in 1999. The 2001 follow-up album Iowa further increased the band's popularity. After breaking for their first hiatus, Slipknot returned in 2004 with Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and once again in 2008 with their fourth album All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at the top spot on the Billboard 200. 

".5: The Gray Chapter” is the first album by the band in 6 years and the first to not feature bassist Paul Gray and drummer Joey Jordison after the former died in 2010 (the title of the album being a reference to his name), and the latter parted ways with the band in 2013. Their replacements are currently unknown though former member Donnie Steele, who was re-hired to replace Paul Gray on bass during tours since 2011, may continue to take on this role in the studio though it is currently unconfirmed. A standard and deluxe edition of the album will be released. The deluxe edition will feature two bonus tracks.

In an interview for loudwire, Corey revealed that the Bass player and Drummer will both be on stage and both will wear the same mask as the band feel it would be disrespectful for them to have individual masks at this time. The music video was uploaded to band's YouTube account on September 12, 2014. Though the new bassist and drummer appeared they were masked and no names were given, the identity of the new bassist Alessandro Venturella was revealed by accident due to his signature hand tattoos. This also confirmed Donnie's time returning to Slipknot was over.

Todays tune "The Devil In I”  is the second single taken from the bands fifth album ".5: The Gray Chapter” that will be released at October 21.
