My rather "dirty" interpretation: it's sweet upfront, and a bit sulphurous in the rear. And it's not very far from sulphur to sugarcane.

Who sings the chorus in sulfur by slipknot?

Corey Taylor.


What is the meaning to the song Sulfur by Slipknot?

Corey Taylor: - Its kind of a reflection of where i am at the moment, i probably feel the best i have in years, not only health-wise, but as a person. The last 3 years have been an awakening for me. Im standing up for my morals, standing up for myself, but the flip side to that coin is that there is always something inside of me that's going to make people feel like they are chewing on tin foil. For most of my life, i tended to base my opinion on myself by what people thought of me. As i got stronger, i learned to be happy in my own skin and accept that there are these f**ked up things about me.


What is hells fire and brimstone?

Brimstone: Brimstone is yellow, elemental sulfur, which burns with a very very hot blue flame that you can only just see, to give the highly unpleasantly pungent gas, sulfur dioxide. Brimstone is frequently found round volcanic vents. (See link below). Hells fire: The near invisibility of the flame makes it consistent with the Bible's description of "outer darkness." If the fire and brimstone are not literal, it will only be because the reality is is indescribable and far worse. It is obviously something we need to escape. The Bible tells us how to do this, but if you need more help, I recommend Joseph Alleine's "A Sure Gude to Heaven", otherwise known as "An Alarm to the Unconverted", published by the Banner of Truth, but also available secondhand from time to time.


Is there going to be a rock band slipknot?

As of right now, nope. There are 3 songs available for downloadable content though, Sulfur and Psychosocial from the 2008 album All Hope Is Gone, and Duality from the 2004 album Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses. There is, however, a metal pack featuring songs from the likes of Lamb of God, Godsmack and At The Gates. But a Rock and Slipknot would be pretty epic. Next to impossible on guitar and drums, but epic.
