Slipknot: playing the song they had sworn never to do

The singer of Slipknot Corey Taylor, Last night in concert with the band, his words took place and he performed a song that he had sworn would never have played. The song in question is “Gematria (The Killing Name)”song included in the fourth album of the 2008 group “All Hope Is Gone”.

The Slipknot They gave the premiere to the Flemington Racecourse of Melbourne, Australia, the debut of the Knotfest Australia 2025 which will continue on Sunday at the Brisbane Showgrunds and will end on 8 March at the Centennial Park in Sydney.

Corey Taylor Last year he had explained the exclusion of “Gematria (The Killing Name)” from the stairs of the Slipknotrevealing that he had nothing to do with the quality of the song and everything to do with the circumstances of his recording. At Podcast all Things Music in 2023 he said: “I always wanted to open a concert with” Gematria “. There are some hateful comments on the way that song was created and recorded, which is why some of the band’s boys say, ‘fuck, we will never play it’. The reason is not even sentimental. It is resentment. But for me it is so fucking that I love that song. All day. He arrives screaming from nothing.
