About This Track
Released as the lead single from Slipknot's sixth studio album in May 2019, 'Unsainted' arrived with a music video that unveiled each member's new mask for the era. The track opens with a choir arrangement that recalls the Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', a diversion from the immersive chaos that defines much of the parent record. A Dork four-star album, 'We Are Not Your Kind' balances moments of intensity with grander, more exploratory terrain. Corey Taylor addresses depression and the refusal to capitulate to it, the song built around a chorus of defiant self-preservation. The lyrics trace a journey from denial to acceptance, the narrator weathering rough patches and finally holding on to letting go. The title phrase captures a reckoning with those who demand martyrdom, a rejection of imposed sainthood and the freedom that follows. The track became the first song from the album to receive RIAA gold certification, marking a commercial milestone for the band's sixth chapter. Its popularity broke the record previously set by the standalone single 'All Out Life', confirming Slipknot's continued reach as anthemists for the disenfranchised.
