Watch Corey Taylor join the freakshow in new video for ‘Beyond’

nme.com:

Corey Taylor has released a freakshow-inspired video for his new single ‘Beyond’ and has announced a release date for his upcoming LP ‘CMF2’.‘Beyond’ dates back to 2006 with Taylor knowing that the track was special yet never had the time to hone in on the song to bring it to its full potential.“I originally wrote it as an aggressive romantic song, but I’m also looking at it now as a kind of ‘come together’ song.

Bringing the masses together, and letting them know that I want my music to take them beyond what they may think about me,” he shared in a press release.“Maybe they’ve had a misconception about me.

It’s not exactly a calling card, more like throwing the bat signal up and being ‘alright, let’s turn everything on its head.’ It’s almost a dual threat, because now I look at it from two standpoints,” he added.The accompanying video, directed by Dale ‘Rage’ Resteghini (Hatebreed, Five Finger Death Punch, Trivium), the video features Taylor trudging around the desert as a musing Uncle Sam.

There are contortionists, fire breathers, and people dressed up as modern-day jesters.The singer is seen intermingling with members of his solo band and the Cherry Bombs, all the while being surrounded by different versions of himself from through the years – before culminating in a live performance for a mass of fans in the round.NEW SONG.
