Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
A 1998 track by Iowa's Smakdab has surfaced, featuring guest vocals by a young Corey Taylor.
You're probably not familiar with the works of Iowa's Smakdab, a nu-metal band from the late '90s. But the boys over at MetalSucks have now dug up a forgotten Smakdab gem that will grab your attention -- because it features guest vocals by Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor.
The track, titled Shadowed, is very much a byproduct of the time -- it has crunchy bass, lilting female vocals, and big misanthropic riffs. Without knowing that Taylor is involved, one might assume it were any Snot- or Crisis-inspired track from 1998… but once you hear Corey in there, you can't hear those male vocals as anything else.
