  
After waiting a massive 6 years for new Slipknot
music the band unleashed their hard hitting come
back song ‘The Negative One’ earlier
in the month and now a few weeks on and they have
just released their brand new single ‘The
Devil In I’ and have also revealed the artwork,
track list and release date for their forthcoming
fifth studio album ‘5: The Gray Chapter’.
After hearing ‘The Negative One’ it
seemed like Slipknot had gone back to the early
days of their self titled album and ‘Iowa’
as the song was pure brutal and marked an incredible
come back for the band, however their new song
‘The Devil In I’ shows that Slipknot
are still as diverse as ever as the song features
more clean cut and melodic vocals and sounds like
a cross between material found on the last couple
of Slipknot albums and Stone Sour and that is
mainly because of the way Corey Taylor’s
vocals are executed especially when he shouts
out “Step inside, see the devil in I, too
many times we’ve let I come to this”
during the explosive yet melodic chorus. Instrumentally
things are exactly what you would expect from
Slipknot as pure noise flows through your speakers
as the band unleash some huge riffs and once again
the currently unknown drummer does a great job
of hitting some heavy beats as Corey Taylor unleashes
the songs chorus.
Overall ‘The Devil In I’ is a great
single release from Slipknot as it is big and
melodic sounding however ‘The Negative One’
is musically so much better as it shows the band
back at their heaviest but now two songs have
been dropped from their forthcoming fifth studio
album it is safe to say that it is going to be
worth the wait and could quite possible be the
most schizophrenic and diverse album of the bands
career.
4.5/5
