Slipknot’s Return to the Scene with ‘Solway Firth’ is Guarded Heavily with Expected Static Darkness

Currently featured in the top 10 trending music videos on YouTube, Slipknot is all geared up for the release of their upcoming album with the single ‘Solway Firth’ as a crisp glance into its creative intricacies. An estuary between the borders of Scotland and England, Solway Firth is the direct extraction for the track name. Deconstructing the musical escapades of the song, Slipknot retains the structural weight of ‘Iowa levels of heavy’ as promised by frontman Corey Taylor regarding their future ventures. Slipknot’s identifying quirk and eccentricity manifest like a crawling impulse throughout the final discharge of ‘Solway Firth’.

As per the track listing of their forthcoming album titled ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, ‘Solway Firth’ is its closing song of justified creative opulence. As the slow but sinister start to the song prepares the listeners for a dreaded surprise, ‘Solway Firth’ strategically bursts into a haunting and hard-hitting revelation. A boisterous amalgam of transformative vocals, unprecedented riffs, curious percussion, and synthesizer slips that tell stories of the unknown side of light, the audience does not get to timestamp from where it takes off into becoming a freedom of creative choices. It is paced at first and then it is not, a subliminal imbalance making ‘Solway Firth’ the god of musical peculiarity.

The violent returns of ‘Solway Firth’ juxtaposed with firm clippings from ‘The Boys’ and Slipknot’s live performances’ gruesome footage end in a savage but heartfelt consolation for their uncompromising fans. The audio hostility of the song swearing bitter reality in the backdrop of a show that brims cultural violence was perhaps the best promotional courage to Slipknot’s secondary introduction to their album.
As our anticipation and instinctive uneasiness escalates for the album to drop this 9th, ‘Solway Firth’ and ‘Unsainted’ (the first released single from the album) should act as creative deterrents to suppress our unworldly rush to feel the rational spite of the album’s chronological story.
