SLIPKNOT–DJ SID WILSON, drummer JOEY JORDISON, bassist PAUL GRAY, percussionist CHRIS FEHN, guitarist JAMES ROOT, sampler CRAIG JONES, percussionist CRAHAN, guitarist MICK THOMSON and lead singerCOREY TAYLOR (also known as 012345678, respectively)–recently gave the world a preview of “The Heretic Anthem” by offering an MP3 download of the song, a defiant track about non-conformity, through the Roadrunner Records website www.roadrunnerrecords.com.The initial response from fans was tremendous as evidenced by the amount of visitors to the site. In the first second that the download was available, there were over 1,000 connections. The frenzy continued, with the site receiving over 50,000 hits in its first hour. A total of approximately 75,000 Slipknot “maggots” successfully downloaded the then called, “Heretic Song” which is now titled, “The Heretic Anthem”.
Fans who missed the “The Heretic Anthem” download opportunity can still hear SLIPKNOT preview new songs on their in-progress Ozzfest dates which wrap up August 12 in New York. They’re also headlining dates with Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Disturbed and Mudvayne in various cities on the off-days during the Ozzfest tour. Fans in Europe received an early taste of SLIPKNOT‘s live show when they performed with Ozzfest at the Milton Keynes Bowl last month. In a live review of the show, NME called SLIPKNOT “one of the most viscerally thrilling live bands in the world” and said the live show “sounds like hell’s own earthquake.”
