Wait & Bleed - Slipknot - MP3 instrumental karaoke

American heavy metal band Slipknot is known for a lot of things: the outrageous masks they wear, their multiple on-stage percussionists, and their propensity for harsh guttural vocals. They are also very gifted songwriters, with a knack for mixing bone-crunching guitar riffs with compelling melodies and anthemic choruses. “Wait and Bleed,” the lead single off the group’s 1999 self-titled debut studio album, is as good a testament to their songwriting chops as any. The song was written by Joey Jordison and Corey Taylor, and produced by Slipknot in collaboration with famed nu-metal producer Ross Robinson. Featuring poignant lyrics about struggling with feelings of aggression, “Wait and Bleed” became a huge hit at the peak of the nu-metal movement. It reached Number 34 on the American Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. “Wait and Bleed” was also certified Platinum by the RIAA for sales of over 1,000,000 copies.
