He had some weird but very enjoyable cleans on the Solway Firth intro. They made him sound like he was slipping into madness.

EDIT: And oh yea AOV is awesome. One of the few good ones on here.

Sarcastrophe and AOV are prob my two favorites here



Although The Negative One and Custer are great throwbacks to early years Slipknot.

Solway > Birth > Unsainted



Birth is very s/t with those samples and semi-growled rap post chorus.



Love the build to the breakdown, Corey has some genuine power in his vox on this new album.

@ButtBoy - heyyyyy brother! And yeah man, I've been jamming their 3 singles on repeat all day lol. They're not one of my favorite bands of all time, but I have more of a soft spot for them than most bands. But these singles...hot damn, I'm excited for Friday



And I'd say Solway > Birth > Unsainted as well, BigPleb. Unsainted is cool and all, but it's definitely the poppiest with the chorus keep popping up and that choir and shit.

I'd say all three tracks are solid

Seeing gojira this Friday. Stoked, but super bummed that slipknot is touring with them for (I think) their WHOLE TOUR except for Minnesota this Friday. We get witchden instead...

Damn, that's retarded. I live in NY, seeing them with Behemoth and Gojira at the end of the month. Enjoy Gojira, though!

I certainly will. It's a bit of a blessing and a curse of course. I imagine I'll get to see more of gojira, since slipknot, behemoth, and volbeat aren't playing. But I would love to see slipknot and behemoth too you know? Though, I have no issues at all missing volbeat lol

I think it's because slipknot is playing in des Moines the following day. Probably wanna premier the new album there rather than MN. Then they're continuing on with gojira for the rest of the tour. Can't blame em I guess; it'll be cool for the Iowans.

Yeah, Birth is pretty good. Didn’t know they had released a new song until I came here.



Solway > Birth >>>>>>>> Unsainted

Aha I actually agree with that ranking. Unsainted didn't really do that much for me unlike the following two.
