"Custer" is a single by American heavy metal band Slipknot. Released on October 10, 2014, it is the third single from their fifth studio album .5: The Gray Chapter.[1]
Composition[]
The song begins with percussionist Shawn Crahan describing what the tempo of the song should be.[2] The track then quickly transgresses into one that is much more deep and forceful, opening the composition. The song contains lead vocalist Corey Taylor speaking in the manner of a radio announcer, and the line "Cut, cut, cut me up and fuck, fuck, fuck me up".[3] During concerts, percussionist Chris Fehn would usually sing the chorus with Corey.
Critical reception[]
Metal Hammer describes the work as having "an air of the self-titled about it with Sid's scratching in the background and almost poem-esque opening verse".[4] ArtistDirect describes the tune as "'Surfacing 2015' with a massive refrain and Faith No More-esque groove that burns and blazes with evil and engaging panache."[5] The Guardian praised "Custer" as well as "Sarcastrophe", noting "some huge choruses lurking within the repurposed death metal riffs and tribal clatter"[6]
