The Serenity of Suffering

A heavy return to form defined by downtuned seven-string riffs, percussive slap bass, and Jonathan Davis's most aggressive vocal performance in over a decade.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden explosion of rhythmic scatting during the bridge of Rotting in Vain that recalls the band's mid-90s peak.
Corey Taylor's guttural roar clashing against Jonathan Davis's melodic desperation on A Different World.
The way the guitars drop into a bone-rattling, slow-motion breakdown at the climax of Everything Falls Apart.
