Slipknot - Another New Song Available For Streaming


As the release of their new album .5: The Gray Chapter approaches, American metallers Slipknot have revealed the third track from the impending output. The song is called "Custer". Give it a spin on the YouTube clip available below and discover another new song from the group.

In terms of release dates, .5: The Gray Chapter will hit stores on October 15th in Japan, October 17th in Benelux, Norway, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, October 20th in the UK and rest of world and October 21st in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Italy via their label Roadrunner Records.

Check out the other new tracks "The Negative One" and "The Devil In I".







The identities of the band's new bassist and drummer have not yet been revealed, but the bassist is thought to be Alessandro "Vman" Venturella, who has the same tattoo on his hand that was spotted on the hand of the new bassist in the video "The Devil In I" while the new drummer is believed to be Jay Weinberg, son of longtime Bruce Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg. But that is all yet to be confirmed. That will keep people guessing.

"We're not saying who the new drummer is," Jim Root told Guitar World magazine. "Even if people find out beyond a shadow of a doubt who the new drummer is, I think we're always going to deny who it is. He might not last. He might tour with us a year and figure out we're all insane and he can't handle being around us. Or we might shut him out. Who knows?"

Corey Taylor says of the new members: "They're not official band members yet, but they're people who play with the band. Time will tell whether or not they're full members. So far they're doing really well and we're enjoying jamming with them."

I think this album is better than their last 2 releases.

Not a fan of the screaming sample or whatever that is in the background. Besides that I think it's pretty good. I like Cory's vocals on this one. It reminds me of old Slipknot. So far the new album seems pretty solid and may turn out to be better then their last album. Maybe even their last two albums.

Liking the anger on this one. Some of the melodies are off for me but I don't think the drums sound bad at all. I don't get why the drums would offend.

I haven't heard the whole album, not sure if it's leaked but from the last 3 songs i've heard, I agree with you, this material sounds better than All Hope Is Gone.

Jesus Christ this band is awful. I generally try to be open minded toward music, but I don't understand how anyone finds this garbage enjoyable.

I just looked at your recent selection and saw Elvenking at the top of the list. That gives your opinion context and explains why you would state such about Slipknot. I hate a few bands too especially Elvenking since they are about as badass as wet toast. Agaloch too. I fucking hate the fact that everyone goes nuts for Agaloch here on Metal Storm and that band absolutely sucks imho.

Dude the Elvenking remark i can understand, but Agalloch? you are entitled to your opinion, but you are absolutely wrong on that one! and yes Slipknot sucks, i can't stand them!

This is definitely in a league of its own in terms of how bad it is. But it doesn't matter because your average Slipknot fan will eat up any kind of turd, no matter how foul it smells or tastes. That begs the question, why don't they just release an album every year?

I'm not sure where the Elvenking remark comes from... I like some of their stuff, but I'm not a huge fan. I do really enjoy their newest album. I honestly give zero fucks how "badass" or brutal a band is. If you judge bands by that, then you are being a tool.

Regardless, I listen to a large variety of bands, so I'm not sure why you think liking a band in one genre means I would automatically dislike a band from another genre. You remind me of the robots in the metal world who judge everything by its genre title and are incapable of thinking for themselves. I'm sorry for you.

The whole album's out there if you look for it. It's not another IOWA but definitely has some catchy riffs and good melodies.

The problem with bands like Elvenking is that they are make melodic music that absolutely weakens it to the point where it is no longer metal to me... you can like whatever you want and don't pretend to be sorry for me. So weak.

Yes, Agalloch. I even went to see Agalloch live to try and understand what the big deal was... the room was packed full of dour faced hipsters trying so hard to be cool, no movement at all, and some of the worst vox I've ever heard live. Slipknot certainly has some duds but they also created some great tunes as well... but the image might put off those who enjoy sipping their organic tea to their melodic metal.

I think the mix is iffy, but the song itself is cool. I like the chorus. They finally rediscovered their balls, pulled them out of their purses, and wrote some songs that eschew radio again. This bodes well for the album.

I appreciate the intent of this song (pissed off and offkilter).

However the end result is lacking:

1. Sound is terrible. Vocals and drums are too high in mix and the guitars sound flat and uninspired.

2. It's too disjointed in a bad way. There's no flow.

3. The samples are irritating


Terravolt Danny, take note... this is how you make valid criticisms. ^^^

Funny cause I usually get crucified for these "analyses" as I am apparently not qualified to make them.


Of course. But even the subjective point about the samples is easily understood by most even if they thought they were cool. And if you have a sense of humor that helps understanding other people trashing your favorite bands. I get too defensive in some cases for sure and am working on controlling my reptile brain.

I didn't force you to equate liking one genre of metal with automatically disliking other genres. Neither did I hack your account and make you use the term "badass" as a criteria to measure how good a metal band is. Don't post stupid things out of the blue about other posters and then throw a temper tantrum when they respond.

It has quite some groove at points, but is not a particularly inspired song
also idiotic samples

so exactly what one would expect from them
