What If You Didn't Push Your Fingers Into Your Eyes?

It's Slipknot. But, like, happy Slipknot.

November 21, 2017

S/O the dudes over at Happy Metal on YouTube.

They've done it again, this time tackling Slipknot classic Duality, putting their inimitably cheery spin on things.

If you've seen their work before you'll know they have an absolute blast turning metal and rock staples on their heads by transforming the darkest of songs into super-upbeat happy ones. It's a simple idea, and they execute it to perfection.

We defy you not to crack a smile watching this.

Who knew Slipknot could sound so... uplifting!
