It’s a record that will mash your face in, but carefully ponders about how and when to do so instead of coming at you like a flailing windmill of arms and fists 2008’s All Hope is Gone being a key offender. WANYK features some of the bands most memorable material in years including the haunting choir that kickstarts Unsainted, the standout cataclysmic riffs and hooks on both Orphan and Critical Darling or the sinister keys that feature throughout Spiders. WANYK (an unfortunate acronym it must be said), is a breath of fresh air for us maggots, beyond a few decent singles the masked marauders’ last two records were stained by flat production and rigid song-writing that seemed to only move in one direction.
With Jim Root now fully devoted to Slipknot and Fehn’s boots being filled by a mysterious new member to bring havoc on those drums, The Nine returns with fresh masks and all the anger and savagery of an ill-tempered deity. Their sixth full-length album, We Are Not Your Kind, confidently shoots up to the heights of their famed back-catalogue and there’s no denying that Slipknot are back in full force. Slipknot have had some serious cobwebs to shake off.įrontman Corey Taylor has waged his own battles, entrenched in a state of depression that arose from a toxic relationship while the band had found themselves wrapped in their own internal disputes.įortunately, Iowa’s finest have a habit of using pent-up angst and aggression as their tools to forge a sharpened array of heavy metal numbers.
