Slipknot - Dead Memories

Slipknot needs no introduction. The masked men of Des Moines came up with this energy loaded, melodically impregnated, crowd surfing cry of desperation.

The distorted arpeggio guitars set the scene, and the intro drums have that perfect touch of tribal simplicity. Corey Taylor's voice takes a break from the screams and nails every note right in the head, as usual. Low tuned guitars fill the atmosphere with powerchords and octaves in all their diminished scale glory.

The solo is pretty good, and it doesn't seem to be intended to be a technical masterpiece. All in all, another great Slipknot song from their album All hope is gone.
