THE REVIEW
The one I'm about to review is the latest single from Slipknot, "All Hope Is Gone". The 'knot return to the music scene four years after their last album, "Vol.3 (The Subliminal Verses)", an album that divided the fans due to a change in style, as the album is much more melodic compared to the previous "Iowa" and "Slipknot".
But now let's talk about the single. The song "All Hope Is Gone" seems like a return to the old style, especially that of "Iowa", but to judge it better, we should wait for the album release, which is expected for July/August. The song immediately kicks off very strong with a very aggressive instrumental part. About 40 seconds in, Corey's singing begins, which, as I mentioned, is very similar to that of "Iowa". In the chorus, the Slipknot of the last album reappear, but the chorus itself is really very beautiful, perhaps the best part of the song. After the chorus, there is a really well-done guitar solo. The song continues on powerfully like this.
Ultimately, it's a really great single, enhanced by the aforementioned guitar solo. If the whole album is like "All Hope Is Gone", we can expect one of the best albums from the 'knot

"Slipknot is back much more intense than before, with that renewed anger that gave birth to 'Slipknot' and 'Iowa'."
Corey’s voice here sounds much dirtier and more gritty and, in a sense, also more interesting and unique.
By wish
"This work is exactly what the previous album 'Vol 3 The Subliminal Verses' and the Taylor and Root project 'Stone Sour' predicted for the band’s future: a remarkable melodic addition to the usual brutal and death-leaning style Slipknot had accustomed us to."
"If one is too attached to the old Slipknot, the title of the work will be extremely prophetic."
By velu
"All Hope Is Gone is a real wonder for the ears, it’s great to sing at the top of your lungs."
"This album makes us understand that experience has made the 9 masked men take giant steps... definitively METAL!"
By Tanzi
"This album is truly excellent, the band’s best, and I don’t regret rushing to my trusted shop on the day it was released."
"’Snuff’ is one of the jewels of the album, marking the band’s maturation with an unprecedented ballad in their history."

So many riffs in this new masterpiece from Slipknot, just as there are many riffs that get smashed on Mick Thomson’s guitar.
With stones thrown with a baseball bat like Gematria, it’s clear that Slipknot are truly strong.
