Slipknot New Single ‘Yen’ with Music Video: Listen

Slipknot band’s new single ‘Yen‘ released on the streaming platform and you can also watch the video on YouTube. The song is from the band’s forthcoming album “The End The Beginning, So Far”, which also will release on September 30th, 2022.
After “The Dying Song” and “Yen” is the third track that will release from the new album and will include “The Chapeltown Rag“. Slipknot‘s frontman Corey Taylor had the following to tell about the new single:
“‘Yen’ is probably one of my favorite songs that we’ve ever done. And it’s such a great, cool departure for us because there are obviously very Slipknot elements to it, but then some of the music is our kind of touching our inner Tom Waits in weird ways, you know? It’s really, really cool. But then there’s almost like a Type O Negative approach to it. I think people are really, really going to fucking dig it when they hear it.”
Corey Taylor also talked about this upcoming album “The End, So Far”:
“I could get away from the shit that I’ve needed to say and get back to the stuff that I want to say. He also shared the meaning behind ‘The Dying Song’ during the interview, saying that For the last few years it’s been very trendy to be offended and outraged by everything, and yet nothing happens. Especially in my country, which is just fucking ridiculous.
It’s almost like the tables have turned, and the more angry people get, the more the people who they’re mad at just double-down on the shit. Instead of there being cause and effect, or crime and punishment, now it’s just like, ‘Fuck you, we don’t care.’ I can’t tell if that’s a reaction because of the almost nihilistic isolation of the cultures themselves, where neither side is acknowledging any of the good parts of each other. They’re just really honed in on the shit that they consider inflammatory. ”

Slipkot – ‘Yen’ song lyrics:
You’re the sin that I’ve been waiting for
The hands around my throat, it’s all I can think about
The Smell of Sweat and Blood
I would feed you all my pleasures just to drown in all of yours
Have you heard of me… are you hurting me…?
Let me savor what I’m waiting for, a chance to make me choke
You’re all I can think about… the Taste is Red and Rust
Can I hold you in my mouth until I fade into this form?
Can you cover me… will you BREATHE for me…?
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
Don’t know what has happened yet, a surge of panicked zeal
Worry when it’s not effect- this game is fine by me
All the words for retribution only add up to revenge
Overpower me…. And devour me…
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
Show Me All The Deaths Are The Same/Show Me You’ll Remember My Name
Show Me All The Deaths Are The Same/You Will Remember My Name
I wish this pain could last forever… forever
I wish this kill could make me suffer… for good
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS I WANT TO KNOW THAT I WAS DYING FOR YOU
I DIED FOR YOU
AS THE KNIFE GOES IN- CUT ACROSS MY SKIN
WHEN MY DEATH BEGINS… I KNOW THAT I AM DYING FOR YOU
I’LL DIE FOR YOU…
