While it’s unlikely that ‘Butcher’s Hook’ is harking back to some still-in-use Cockney rhyming slang, the Meshuggah-style polyrhythm madness adds a complexity and a willing to play unorthodox songs that Slipknot haven’t really shown before. Acting as the gnarled, crusty bread which is sandwiching the soft, slow-cooked, honey-cured ham of ‘Gehenna’ those two tracks are quite simply put, fantastic. Thank the heavens then for songs like ‘Butcher’s Hook’ and ‘This Cold Black’. They’re good songs… if you’re listening to a Stone Sour album. Neither the next single of ‘Dead Memories’ or the whole-heartedly soppy ‘Snuff’ quite fit in with the true Slipknot identity, to be honest. There are a couple of actual ballads love songs even.

While their eponymous full debut is a relentless slab of brutal metal and Iowa showed a desire to be even more obnoxious, 2005’s Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses) displayed their melodic tendencies alongside the unruly commotion, especially in Corey Taylor’s vocals. Watch the video to ‘Psychosocial’ by Slipknot There are sampled speeches and crazy bleeping bits building a massive sense of expectation before all the drama. It immediately makes you feel like you’re listening to Slipknot. ‘.execute/Gematria’ is a classic opening track. The important thing when listening to All Hope Is Gone is to note how Slipknot have grown over the past decade. Both bands have pedigree with hitting the top spot after Iowa flew in there after Reading 2001. Their competition for the accolade of #1 UK album is The Verve. Starting at the commotion about their new masks, the slow-burning marketing campaign has seen two great singles released already ( ‘All Hope Is Gone’ and ‘Psychosocial’) before the album lands, the day after their appearance at Reading & Leeds festivals, over two months later. There is no doubting that this album will be massive.

Luckily, there is just about enough to celebrate on AHIG for all the cloak and dagger treatment to be appropriate. This is a top secret operation.Īs with their regularly-changed masks and outfits, Slipknot clearly like a bit of ceremony about their work and so this all fits perfectly.
