Heavy Track of the Week is a characteristic on Heavy Consequence breaking down the highest steel and arduous rock tracks you should hear each Friday. This week, the highest spot goes to “Speak Sick” by Corey Taylor.
One thing about Corey Taylor sitting in a recording studio with a guitar, fiddling round with recording methods… it truly is a testomony to his dedication to the craft.
From our perspective, it looks as if the Slipknot frontman has had a ton of enjoyable making his two solo albums. His sophomore effort CMF2 is about to drop September fifteenth, and the newest single and opening monitor “Speak Sick” options notable guitar work from the person himself. Taylor performed the half by a micro amp, an outdated studio trick utilized by Steve Albini on Jawbreaker’s 24 Hour Revenge Remedy.
“That sick guitar at the start, I performed that by a speaker in regards to the measurement of a espresso cup,” Taylor stated in a press launch for the tune. “It made it sound violent; you are feeling such as you’re being stung by bees who’re enjoying alongside to the Intercourse Pistols.”
Talking of the Intercourse Pistols, the tune has a decidedly punk-ish vibe, particularly the opening verses, which bring to mind The Conflict’s Fight Rock period.
The tune is an upbeat, enthusiastic arduous rocker and one of many strongest solo cuts from Corey Taylor thus far. And a reminder that he can do extra than simply sing.
Honorable Mentions:
Weapons N’ Roses – “Maybe”
Earlier this week, we reported that Weapons N’ Roses newest single “Maybe” was leaked through TouchTunes bar jukeboxes. Appears a bit fishy, as a result of what a good option to leak a GN’R tune. It’s a hovering piano-based monitor with heavy Use Your Phantasm vibes and densely layered vocals and guitar work from Axl Rose and Slash, respectively. The busy combine is perhaps a tad overwrought, conserving the monitor out of our prime spot this week, however rattling if it received’t sound correct blaring over some barroom audio system.
Hurt’s Approach – “Devour”
Following their earlier single (and HSOTW choice) “Silent Wolf,” Hurt’s Approach dropped one other absolute ripper the type of “Devour.” The present state of metalcore is one among over-saturation, however the Chicago vets handle to face out by combining metalcore’s penchant for complexity with the directness of basic hardcore — that latter factor coming by in vocalist James Pligge’s vicious barks of intent.
Wolves within the Throne Room – “Twin Mouthed Spring”
Wolves within the Throne Room are right here to remind us that winter is certainly coming. The naturalist atmospheric black steel of “Twin Mouthed Spring” is the sound of nature refracted by musical instrumentation — a hike by a wooded passage, guided by a refrain of birdsong. Quickly, the leaves will wither and die, and the birdsong will stop. Some would argue that the music of Wolves within the Throne Room is extra befitting of such a panorama; nevertheless, for some cause, their black steel has at all times appeared extra autumnal somewhat than wintery (even when the album artwork suggests in any other case). A wonderful soundtrack for the season(s) forward.
