Slipknot's '.5: The Gray Chapter': How Death, Trauma Shaped Comeback LP
Corey Taylor: "This album is about making peace with the loss that we've suffered"
LTD is not only short for Louder Than Death, it's also the nom de guerre for the pairing of King Khan (of BBQ Show and the Shrines) with Sean Wood of the Spits, the legendary Northwest punk favorites. The meeting of these two garage-punk masterminds has bore fruit: the debut LTD mini-album due on In the Red on April 20th (preorder yours).
The first track out of the gate is "New Stains," an acid-damaged Ramones-leaning ripper straight out of the Spits playbook, featuring shared vocals from Sean Spits and King Khan. It's incredibly fun and clocking in at 1:22, leaves you salivating for the rest of the record. Stream it in full below.
And while the word of the pairing is excellent news, the mini-album is even better news, what's even more exciting is that the band has an LP on the way and plans to tour the U.S. More details are on the way, but until then, crank "New Stains" as loud as you can.
