Iowa metal titans Slipknot unexpectedly dropped new track “Arsenal” late yesterday ahead of today’s release cycle, making it the heaviest surprise in the news queue.
The ferocious cut marks the band’s first original studio recording featuring powerhouse drummer Eloy Casagrande, whose blisteringly complex polyrhythmic assault injects fresh adrenaline into the nine-piece’s sound. Furthermore, “Arsenal” marks Slipknot’s maiden voyage on their independent imprint (sic)est Records, asserting complete creative autonomy after decades on major labels.
With Corey Taylor delivering venomous verses over down-tuned riffs and chaotic percussion, “Arsenal” is an essential dispatch for all followers of modern heavy metal.
