Watch Slipnot’s New Twisted ‘Killpop’ Video; Listen to Corey Taylor Talk about the Song with GRD

After teasing us for days on social media, Slipknot has finally premiered the new music video for "Killpop"!

Like other Slipknot vids, it was directed by Slipknot's own Shawn "Clown" Crahan, and it's pretty dark and eerie.

"Killpop" is the latest single from Slipknot's album .5: The Gray Chapter and while some are calling it Slipknot's "poppiest" song, the lyrics certainly are not light and airy.

"Die and f------ love me!" vocalist Corey Taylor screams repeatedly at the end of the song.

Before the Slipknot show here in Grand Rapids in May, Taylor talked to Johnnie Walker and Metalhead Ned about the new song, saying,

“You know, what’s funny [is] over the last few weeks, I’ve really gotten everyone’s interpretation of what that song means to them, and it’s nowhere near what I wrote about. So it’s kind of interesting to hear people’s interpretations of what I’m singing about. And I’ll be honest with you: the song is my reflection on my relationship with music. That’s who the ‘she’ is. And not just music, but the music industry in general. So there’s a love-hate relationship there that really kind of comes into view.”

Taylor continued,

"There's the old adage, 'Be careful what you wish for,' and, 'Be careful doing what you love, because sometimes it will turn on you.' And, you know, anytime you mix something that you love and business, you're gonna find the rusty cracks in there that piss you off. So that song, really, is about how much I still love making music, but also how much I just hate the business side, the numbers side, the people in the suits who try to run stuff, and having to deal with them and having to learn how to talk to them. And, you know, it's frustrating sometimes, but it is what it is. And luckily, we got a great song out of it, and we were able to really paint something really cool with it and just be able to put it out there for people to dig."
