About "The Chapeltown Rag (Originally Performed by Slipknot) (Instrumental Version)" by Backing Business
Slipknot's 'The Chapeltown Rag' is a coiled spring of nu-metal fury, and this instrumental version lets the riff and rhythm section bare their teeth without the scream. The tension is all in the stop-start dynamics and dissonant guitar—a mechanical beast pacing its cage, the rage intact but the voice removed, leaving only the clatter of chains.
