SLIPKNOT has just released a new single, “The Chapeltown Rag”. The track, which can be streamed below, was produced by Joe Baressi, who has previously worked with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and CHEVELLE, among many others.

SLIPKNOT’s frontman, Corey Taylor, described the song  as “a punisher,” saying it documents what happens when the distortions of mass media circulate within the echo chambers of social media. “It’s classic SLIPKNOT,” said Corey about the track, which is inspired by a Netflix documentary he watched about the Yorkshire Ripper serial killer who murdered multiple women in the West Yorkshire, United Kingdom suburb Chapeltown in the late 1970s.

SLIPKNOT performed its new single, “The Chapeltown Rag”, live for the first time ever Friday night (November 5) at Knotfest Los Angeles. You can listen to it at the video below…
