SLIPKNOT, die Grammy-dekorierten Nu Metal Helden aus Iowa, kehren nach zwei Jahren zurück aus der musikalischen Pause mit ihrer neuen Single ‘The Chapeltown Rag’ zurück. Musikalisch ballert der Track, der von den Aufnahmen zum noch unbenannten nächsten Album stammt, in typischer SLIPKNOT Manier.

Corey Taylor meint:

„Er kennt keine Gnade. Und er ist frenetisch. Inhaltlich geht es jedoch um die unterschiedlichen Formen von Manipulation, die passieren können, wenn soziale Medien auf die althergebrachten Medien treffen. Und die verschiedenen Arten, wie diese Manipulationen es darauf anlegen können, uns in verschiedene Richtungen zu ziehen, indem wir alle süchtig danach werden, was sehr, sehr gefährlich ist.“

Lyrics:

Read all about it if you wanna know… Read all about what they want you to know

 

EVERYTHING IS GOD ONLINE… and it’s as evil as it gets

This is not another trick: either Follow or Repent

(NO CHOICE) get infected by a vertical event- check the meter, check the watch

Are they ever gonna stop?

Runnin out of daylight, Nighttime’s better

But we know how to handle the truth motherfucker

Scandalous know it all- feedback chamber

Nobody wants the proof- they want a number

WE DON’T DENY WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LIVES

WE CAN’T DECIDE WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR RIGHT TO SILENCE OUR REMAINS

…Buried in the back and I’m sick and alive …Hollow as a breath, the further you dive

 

Oh, How I Missed Your Honesty- You Never Miss With Your Intensity

You’re Gonna Need a New Disguise-Vessels Burst, Veins Release

Just Slide Into The Nearest Lie

 

All the ligatures are getting tight, like a style

Murder another mouth before the trial

Scalpel and then you scalp em to fucking death

Kills for the other vampires and surrogates

It’s a ploy for attention and evidence

All your fucking monsters are flaws in your common sense

Do the dance while the shovels are breaking dirt

Everybody mind your fuckin business or you get hurt

 

WE DON’T DENY WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LIVES

WE CAN’T DECIDE WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR RIGHT TO SILENCE OUR REMAINS

…Buried in the back and I’m sick and alive …Hollow as a breath, the further you dive

 

Oh, How I Missed Your Namaste-You Never Miss With Your Integrity

You’re Gonna Need a New Disguise-Vessels Burst, Veins Release

Just Slide Into The Nearest Lie

 

Read all about it if you wanna know… (Everything Is God Online)

 

Stoned- like a Beast- on a Chain- Lookin Dead- Feelin Strange- What the Fuck-

I’m Material to sew into the stains- like a catalogue of pain- like a martyr in restraints- I can kill- with a will- and it’s stronger every day- I’m a knife- I’m a gun- I’m a slit- I’m a scar- I’m a scream- I’m a death- I’m a threat- I’m afraid- that you will never understand I’m not the same- you better call the triple 9 I want a face- that you can only recognize I’m afraid- I’m afraid- I’m afraid- I’m afraid…

 

WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOD ONLINE… NOTHING IS
