Slipknot has locked in with their first offering of new music in three years with the debut of "Arsenal". Delivering the band's signature sonic drubbing, the track opens with the relentless pummel of drummer Eloy Casagrande, unloading the full artillery of the Iowan gamechangers.
Asserting their rank as heavy culture torchbearers, the next offensive from Slipknot arrives complete with an evocative new visual helmed by the band's own visionary M. Shawn Crahan. Framing a compelling meld of method and menace, the clip starring Jackson White actualizes the sinister soundtrack from one of heavy music's most decorated, enduring collectives.
The arrival of "Arsenal" turns the page as Slipknot emerge from a lengthy stretch of retrospect. Completing a comprehensive touring run that saw the band commemorate the silver anniversary their watershed self-titled, debut LP, Slipknot have recalibrated to craft an initial assault that delivers on their proven history of sonic shock and awe.
Equipped with all of the requisite intensity that has defined their career, coupled with the spirit of nonconformity that has fueled their longevity, "Arsenal" proves Slipknot remains well ahead of the pack.
