We Covered Slipknot. Yes, Really.

We did Musora's Covers On The Spot. The deal is simple. They hand you a song, you hear it, you figure out how to make it yours, and you record it in three hours. Then they told us the song was Slipknot's Duality.

I laughed. Then I said yes.

I have history with this band. I saw Slipknot play on their first album tour, back in 2000. So I knew exactly how heavy it is supposed to feel, and I knew we were going to have to find our own way into it instead of trying to out-heavy Slipknot. Nobody out-heavies Slipknot.

What we did instead was make it sound like us. The synths came in, the guitars went surfy, and somewhere in the middle it stopped sounding like a cover and started sounding like a song that could sit between both bands. That is what Metal Injection said about it anyway, and I will take that.

Covers are not new for us. Half the world thinks I'm a Believer is ours. But this one was different because of the clock. Three hours, start to finish, hearing it to playing it.

Tell me in the comments. Did we pull it off, or should we stick to our own songs?
