Slipknot examine the concept of living a lie on their pummeling new song Solway Firth.
After the tracks atmospheric swirl explodes into rabid riffs and double kick-drum patterns, frontman Corey Taylor screams, I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal/ Its always somebody else; somebody else was me/ You want the real smile or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure?
The metal octet paired the single with a gruesome video that alternates head-banging live performance footage with violent clips from the upcoming Amazon black-comedy superhero series The Boys. Bloody scenes include a man holding two severed arms and one character bashing someones head into a bathroom sink.
Solway Firth is the second song Slipknot have released from their upcoming sixth LP, We Are Not Your Kind, following lead single Unsainted. They recently promoted the record, which follows 2014s .5: The Gray Chapter, by performing the latter track and standalone 2018s All Out Life on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Slipknots Knotfest Roadshow North American tour featuring special guests Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth on all dates launches July 26th in Mountain View, California and wraps September 8th in The Woodlands, Texas. The bands live itinerary also includes slots at the Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals, along with a brief run of Australia and New Zealand in October and November.
