Cognitive to Unleash Their Cover of Slipknot’s “People = Shit” Next Monday

Starting tomorrow, New Jersey death metal outfit Cognitive will hit the road for a tour with Nile, Cryptopsy, and The Last Ten Seconds Of Life. It’s gonna be a long-ass run of extreme metal goodness, but they’re not looking to leave it just at that. No, they also want to put out a special cover of Slipknot’s track “People = Shit” from Iowa.

According to the band, the cover materialized as they were working on their so far unannounced and unnamed new album. Rather than put out a death metal staple, the band said they wanted to switch shit up this time around.

“Here we go again mother fuckers! We have been hard at work writing our next album and prepping for tour but decided to spend some time having fun and recorded a cover of ‘People = Shit’ by the almighty Slipknot! We wanted to have fun with something that wasn’t exactly death metal, but still in the extreme realm! The world is an awful place, and humanity doesn’t make it any better, so to us the Slipknot math and song title added up correctly! We hope you enjoy and see you on the road with Nile, Cryptopsy, and The Last Ten Seconds Of Life.”

To get you hyped for what’s to come, the band put out a quick little trailer for the cover, which you can check out below. You can also click to have YouTube notify you when the track goes live on September 15 at 11 a.m. ET.
