Slipknot have shared an official music video for “Nero Forte,” which is streaming now on the band’s YouTube channel. Directed by the band’s own M. Shawn Crahan, the video captures a pummelling technicolor performance of “Nero Forte,” which is featured on the GRAMMY® Award-winning group’s chart-topping new album WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND.
WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND is currently staking its claim as one of 2019’s top albums, earning #1 album nods from Rolling Stone and Kerrang! in their year-end roundups, alongside additional “Best of 2019” accolades from Revolver, Consequence of Sound, Loudwire, Alternative Press and more. “With their latest studio album, Slipknot have released one of the strongest albums in their career,” remarked Consequence of Sound. The Ringer professed, “SLIPKNOT’s sixth album WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND… furthers the argument that they’re the most important heavy band of their era,” while Vulture praised the LP for its “maelstrom of serrated riffs, warlike drums, and machine-gun poetry from Taylor,” and The UK’s NME put it simply: “The ‘Knot’s sixth album is an astonishing record.”
WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND captured #1 debuts in Australia, the US, United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, Japan, Portugal, Ireland, Belgium, and Finland, as well as Top 3 debuts in Germany, France, Norway, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and New Zealand and is highlighted by “Solway Firth,” “Birth Of The Cruel,” and the LP’s lead single “Unsainted.” Each single has come with a M. Shawn Crahan directed official music video, and each has trended worldwide on YouTube (all videos, not just music). Combined, videos for the new album have amassed over 87.2 million views in only three months.
