Slipknot - Solway Firth Vocal Cover WITH IOWA TECHNIQUE

[@dratsum_yenoh]

This is easily the best Slipknot vocal cover I’ve seen. It’s very obvious you’ve spent years perfecting that trademark Corey Taylor vocal style. Not just in the “Iowa Scream” sense, but in a tonal sense. Absolutely phenomenal. Passion goes a long way in music.

[@darcywhitty1207]

The way hes screaming isnt the correct way to scream. Its called the iowa scream because coreys scream in the first 2 albums was him shouting and distorting his voice. Its very dangerous and cuts off vocal range if you continue to do it. This guy hasnt put any work into this scream or very little work into it because its the incorrect way. But it is a very pleasing scream but i hate knowing how much pain the singer is in

[@erect4e369]

LowEndLux if you watched the video he uploaded directly before this, he said he knows how to properly scream to not damage his voice, it’s just he wanted to recreate corey’s scream just for this cover... don’t make assumptions about this guy before you know his full story

[@misterdoctorguy]

His cleans are very reminiscent of Corey’s too

[@TheGotDrama]

Bro you’re so talented

[@ArkantosArcane]

Also IOWA voice had so much real anger behind it. Emotions play a big role in how your voice sound

[@jagooswell7993]

You just aren’t meant to use emotion in screaming because the tension damages the voice

[@The_JustJoshing]

Jago Oswell That’s the thing though. Corey’s Iowa scream was so powerful because of the emotion behind it. Not saying his vocals are not powerful now, they definitely are. He sounds absolutely murderous on We Are Not Your Kind. But my point still stands.

[@jagooswell7993]

TheJustJoshing I know but you can be emotional and produce a great sound with proper technique, you can definitely feel the emotion more in earlier slipknot as it’s much easier and more real sounding with using his actual vocal cords to scream because he’s literally screaming. He was most likely in pain during this recording too because of the technique he used. You’ve absolutely got a point there.

[@holydiver3000]

@@jagooswell7993 With a correct screaming tecnique adding emotion is the real struggle. Sounding desperate and not hurting yourself adds an incredible layer of practice.

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

[@DrummingWendigo]

I’ve been listening to Slipknot since 99 and you are the ONLY person to get close to Coreys early screams. Hails my friend, keep up the good work man \m/

[@clea_cj]

Holy fuck, imagine if Corey still had that scream in him. That scream just has something emotional about it

[@Msoasl]

He could probably still do it it’s just very bad for anyone to do

[@FiratC.]

@@Msoasl He does it sometimes without realising. He never lost that scream, he just stopped doing it. Check slipknots 2011 greece concerts, when corey was singing eyeless with his old mask he was doing his old screams. You can easily hear it

[@Bunny-Soup]

it's the pain, from the technique, to his emotional state, to the self mutilation in the studio, it's the pain

[@Purge_v3]

Hope your vocal cords heal up fast, this is by far the best cover of any slipknot song I've ever seen/heard thank you for sacrificing your vocal cords

[@k.i.zinstrumental999]

IT Sounds so heavy...Wish Corey did this Song in the 2002 era

[@midchaff5010]

It wouldnt have fit their style at the time, but it would sound awesome now

[@anthonypena336]

@@midchaff5010 That's how I feel about 99% of WANYK. People are saying "oh (random song off the album) sounds like something made during Iowa" or "this song sounds like it belongs on Iowa" and I say the exact same thing you're saying. It wouldn't fit the style they had back then. It's a LOT more melodic than Iowa. Even this technique Matt is using on this song just....doesn't feel right. While it is awesome, don't get me wrong, but it just feels out of place to me. I'd say the most "Iowa" song on the new album is either Critical Darling or Red Flag. But that's really about it to me. Good album but definitely nowhere even close to Iowa.

[@midchaff5010]

@@anthonypena336 I completely agree with you man, and WANYK is good but I feel like it is nothing compared to the self titled, Iowa, or Volume 3 at all. It just feels like theres only 6 real songs on the album and the rest are interludes or fillers where Iowa was not as processed but you had more songs on that album that there is kind of a trade off, like do you want unpolished songs in bigger quantity like Iowa or polished songs in less quantity with more filler. Again this is just my opinion but I hope you agree

[@itzjeffrey515]

I feel like something like Nero Forte would fit Iowa more TBH

[@user-cm4op2kz3y]

@@itzjeffrey515 I'd say nero forte is more of a vol 3 song

[@FORTEPodcast]

Incredibly close rendition of IOWA period but I don't think anyone can imitate it completely. The reason, personally, that made 2001-2 era's vocal technique demonic and chilling was how much Taylor's melodic singing voice was the spine of all his screaming. The way he could distort it from singing to shouting, then into screaming with such seamless ease was evidence that he had a phenomenal control over his chords. If you listen closely to Disasterpiece Concert 2002 London and Taylor's screams, you can still hear a thin trace of his melodic singing voice underlying everything he does, rather than pure, brutal screaming that has no contour or rise/fall that's unbefitting to the context of the song. I think that is what keeps me listening to Taylor. The fact that he has regained such technique for WANYK after all these years is a testament to his immense physical constitution.

You must cover Orphan, damn those vocals are so powerful man.

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

Not only is this probably the best Slipknot cover I’ve seen but this might just be perhaps the best music cover I’ve seen, the sheer power in those vocals especially your screams are phenomenal and just the rawness of it as it seems like you’re breaking down at the end is just perfect. Absolutely adored this man and I hope this video blows up even more, it honestly deserves it not just from a musical standpoint but the passion put into it as well.

[@ShowersongsTV]

@@prodbyradeon problems come from frequent use, it’s not like you do it once and blow it out, you just slowly lose notes over the years. I’m in no way saying it’s healthy just that it doesn’t work that way

[@jesusgaona2576]

Ever notice how his “Iowa technique” sounds just like Coreys screaming in this album, and people still say Corey Taylor’s lost his scream

[@poust5898]

ㅤㅤღنورღ His technique did change tho? In the iowa days he was adding distortion from his throat, nowdays he uses the vocal fry method which is much safer.

I used to scream like this, safe to say that you do not need to learn this technique. It will fuck yo your voice, I couldn’t speak for 3 weeks after doing a gig once. I had to teach myself how to do safe fry and false chord screams. I couldn’t talk right for 3 weeks and kept coughing up blood. I couldnt swallow water or drink without a treacherous pain in my throat.

[@adextous]

That's fucking amazing man. I recently practiced Corey Taylor's vocals according to your tutorial from a recent video. Recorded with his friend a cover of the album All Hope Is Gone with the Iowa technique. Everything is fine with the voice, I felt some kind of line between a safe screaming and screaming on the ligaments, it sounds extremely similar to the Iowa technique, but with notes from All Hope Is Gone. Now we are recording an album together with the band, I don't even know what the inspiration was, if it wasn't for your video about Corey Taylor's vocal techniques)

If you have the capacity to do it, if have the time to do it, and most important, if your voice i still healty, make the cover again, but with the instrumental music in the background, because the fact that we can hear Corey breaks the magic of the iowa cover you are trying to do.
