SLIPKNOT – “The Devil In I” Music Video Released

SLIPKNOT’s music video for the band’s new single, “The Devil In I”, has been released. The song is taken from the band’s fifth studio album, “.5: The Gray Chapter”, which arrives on October 21. Singer Corey Taylor told The Pulse Of Radio about the clip: “[SLIPKNOT percussionist] Clown directed it and we were able to put something really, really cool together. I’ve seen the early cut — it looks really, really awesome. I mean, Clown did a hell of a job, he’s got such a great eye for everything and is really just getting better and better at everything he does. I’m stoked for everybody to see it.”

“The Devil In I” is more melodic than the first song released from the new album, “The Negative One”, which came out earlier this summer, and features cleaner vocals from Taylor, who told The Pulse Of Radio what the track is about. “‘The Devil In I’ is really about the war inside yourself,” he said. “Trying not to give into defeatism, trying not to give into negativity, trying not to give up basically. It’s a struggle. It’s one of the hardest thing you can do, is to give in to that side of yourself.”

SLIPKNOT issued and quickly fulfilled a casting call on August 17 for fans — also known as “maggots” — to appear in the video for “The Devil In I”. The call for extras to appear as “human maggots,” requiring that applicants be between 20 and 35 years old and “comfortable to be shooting in barefoot,” was issued that weekend and was no longer accepting submissions by August 18.

The shoot was scheduled to take place on either August 22 or August 23 in the Los Angeles area.

“.5: The Gray Chapter” is the first SLIPKNOT album without bassist Paul Gray, who died in May 2010, and drummer Joey Jordison, who was dismissed in 2013.

The identity of SLIPKNOT’s new drummer is still a secret, although it is widely believed to be Jay Weinberg, son of longtime Bruce Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg.

It is also rumored that SLIPKNOT is no longer working with Donnie Steele, the group’s original guitar player who has been playing bass since they resumed touring in 2011.
