After having endlesss amounts of teasers, Slipknot burst back onto the scene last friday with their new single “The Negative One“. Whilst on Friday you would only be able to listen to the track just the once before having to subscribe to Slipknot’s mailing list. They have now released a video for “The Negative One” which is pretty much a collection of all the teasers we had seen previous to the new song. But with a video this now means we can listen to the song as many times as we like. I must admit that “The Negative One“, initially didn’t have me bowled over, I thought that the production overall seemed very lack lustre but it seems that might have been one of the perils of streaming the song from their website. The new single is growing on me becoming more and more catchy and is quintessentially Slipknot.
Corey Taylor recently spoke to BBC’s Radio 1 and commented on the song :
” I was telling this to someone the other day The Negative One isn’t our single, this was just a gift for the fans.like we wanted them to hear a piece of the album. The single comes out in a couple of weeks and its completely different, its more melodic, but its dark, its powerful man.”
The next single that Slipknot are going to be releasing will be entitled “The Devil In I” as Shawn Crahan (Clown) shot the previous video, the band are in the production stages for their next release.
Check back soon for more announcements also check the logo right at the end of the video, perhaps we might be seeing a lot more of it…
