Corey Taylor and Bad Omens are dropping a new cover collab this week (February 26).

The legendary Slipknot frontman and Virginia metalcore superstars have teamed up to tackle Kansas’ 1977 acoustic classic Dust In The Wind. It’s set to appear on the soundtrack to forthcoming wrestling film Queen Of The Ring, which was written and directed by Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen and is due to hit cinemas on March 7.

A synopsis for the movie reads: ‘In a time when pro wrestling for women was illegal all over the country, a small town single mother embraces the danger to change culture as she dominates America's most masculine sport to become the first million dollar female athlete in history.’

Check out a teaser and a snippet for Corey and Bad Omens’ new cover below, along with the Queen Of The Ring trailer:

Earlier this month, Bad Omens frontman Noah spoke about how they were approaching their next album – the follow-up to The Death Of Peace Of Mind – sharing how precise and perfect the band’s live show has become, and how they want to leave room for some fun in there going forwards.

“This is the most touring we’ve ever done on this album cycle, obviously, because it just took off, and I’m learning a lot about my voice touring, and what I can and can’t do, and how to manage it when it’s something so nuanced as your body – it’s like, ‘I went outside to check the mail today and now my throat’s scratchy,’” he said.

“With the new music, I definitely think there’s a part of it where I’m trying to leave room for fun, where it’s not so rigid. I almost view our show like a movie. It’s on a track, like a tramline, I guess you could say. It’s rehearsed to a tee and everything’s automated with the lights and the content and stuff, so it is like trying to recreate the same movie every night, and that gets boring too, and exhausting.”
