Slipknot - Gematria (The Killing Name) (Audio) 

Best song by Slipknot and they’ve never played it live... WHY?!

The guitar is freaking epic here.

His voice in this actually sounds close to Iowa, just lower.

Joeys drumming on this is fucking god, rip Joey we miss you

after 20 mins learning hwo to play this....my left hands feels like falling off

This might be their most underrated song. It's fantastic.

Everyone I know has chosen Psychosocial as their favorite, and I've chosen this underrated song as my favorite.

Man, I'm here after hearing of Jordison's passing. Had to listen to this in his honor.

I bet im not the only one who noticed that the background in this video says "Gemaria" when the actual name for this song is "Gematria" 😂😂

All elitist metal-head Slipknot deniers probably secretly like this song.

Mick Thompson kills it on this one. Freaking beast.

The most underrated Slipknot song imo. It's fucking brilliant, both lyrically, vocally and musically

*Description* "LYRICS coming soon" *5 years later* Where is it? I cant take the suspence

i don't know why many people tear down this album, even the band itself. Is fucking amazing

Idk what it is, this is not my favorite Slipknot song, but...and hear me out here...I think this song may actually be perfect. It has everything a great Slipknot song needs to have, it's catchy, it's brutal, it's got amazing riffs and a fantastic solo and breakdown. I honestly can't find a single flaw in the song, not even the length! I don't know what it is, but this song is fucking revolutionary yet overlooked...I have no clue why.

This song makes me wanna see California without marlon brando's eyes.

Slipknot's own Master of Puppets. The most elaborate and complex song they did in their careers. Too bad fans couldn't accept the band's evolution and panned this album.

i was just watching the video of mick recording this. AMAZING

It's probably their best song. Not my favourite, but guitar work and drums are amazing.

This is probably their most technical album

I hope one day they play this song live

the guitar work on this song is probably Jim and Micks best work collectively with out one of them outdoing the other

The most underrated Slipknot song imo. It's fucking brilliant, both lyrically, vocally and musically :) lml

This song should be one of their hits is a masterpiece

This song should be one of their hits is a masterpiece

12/08/73 - that was all I got and now you got me All I ever really wanted was to take the blame I will go down in history and not down in flames Meningitis I will survive this Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis The time of the nine has begun Get out of the way or you will suffer as one This is so typical, apocolyptical Hanging on abysmal release, Jesus I don't need this; don't wanna be this Icon in the making - my hands are fucking shaking What if "God" doesn't care? What if "God" doesn't care... Remember, surrender, the time is now Continue, we're in you... And we will burn your cities down America is a killing name It doesn't feel or discriminate Life is just a killing field It's all that's left - nothing's real Throw away your disposable past and fall apart like a cigarette ash We are the fatal and vital ones of the world and we will burn your cities down What if "God" doesn't care? What if "God" doesn't care? America is a killing name It doesn't feel or discriminate Life is just a killing field It's all that's left - nothing's real Throw away your disposable past and fall apart like a cigarette ash We are the fatal and vital ones of the world and we will burn your cities down Down... We will burn your cities down Feed the hungry - feed them shit! Feed them bones and politics! You wanna revolutionize? Be specific and believe your eyes! Start a war in another backyard And we'll destroy your house of cards! Give me a minute and I'll change your mind Give me a bullet and I'll change your life Remember, surrender, the time is now Continue, we're in you... And we will burn your cities down America is a killing name It doesn't feel or discriminate Life is just a killing field It's all that's left - nothing's real Throw away your disposable past And fall apart like a cigarette ash We are the fatal and vital ones of the world And we will burn your cities down We will burn your cities down America... what if "God" doesn't care?

This song needs to be played live!

It's 2023 and it's still a masterpiece! It never goes out of style. R.I.P Joey and Paul

2:24 "Throw away your spongebob pants" Edit: Holy shit so many likes, thank you so much

In the beginning Corey says 12/08/73 .... that's his fucking birth date !

I love my brothers aka slipknot. I served 6 years combat veteran. I suffer from ptsd. My brothers are my shield. I'm thankful for there honor. My brothers have my respect.

Fun fact: This song has never been played in live because it's too hard to play

America is a killing name, It doesn't feel or discriminate, Life is just a killing field, There's nothing left, Nothing is real, Throw away your despicable past, And fall apart like a cigarette ash, We are the fatal and final ones of the world, And we will burn your cities down! Like damn what a fucking chorus!! One of their best and heaviest songs for sure!

Gematria = 74 Killing = 74 *America’s birthday is 7/4…

I just noticed that in the image it says Gemaria and not Gematria

Fuckin Masterpiece! R.I.P Joey for eternity through his music!!

I never realized how badass this song is. Like the chorus section- America is a killing name and throw away your disposable past fall apart like a cigarette ash. And this song only has 400,000 some views. Needs more.

its sad that they never played this live

Dude this song is so underrated....

I feel like All Hope Is Gone is such an underrated album. a majority of the songs in it aren't very well known, which is honestly lowkey sad because most of the songs in this album are pretty damn good.

Omg....this is so bad... The replay button stop working..

This is the best Slipknot song. Edit: Back six years later because this is definitely a Top 3 song from Slipknot. May Joey and Paul RIP. \m/

Who else agrees that Corey's voice is fucking aggressive as hell in this album

You were about 11 years too early, guys

12, 8, 73. That was all I got and now you got me. All I ever really wanted was to take the blame. I will go down in history and not down in flames. Meningitis I will survive this. Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis. The time of the Nine has begun, get out of the way or you will suffer as one. This is so typical, apocalyptical. Hanging on abysmal release, Jesus. I don't need this, don't wanna be this. Icon in the making, my hands are fucking shaking. What if god doesn't care? What if god doesn't care? Remember! Surrender! The time is now! Continue! We're in you! And we will burn your cities down! America is a killing name. It doesn't feel or discriminate. Life is just a killing field. It's all that's left, nothing's real. Throw away your disposable past. And fall apart like a cigarette ash. We are the fatal and final ones of the world, and we will burn your cities down. What if god doesn't care? What if god doesn't care? America is a killing name. It doesn't feel or discriminate. Life is just a killing field. It's all that's left, nothing's real. Throw away your disposable past. And fall apart like a cigarette ash. We are the fatal and final ones of the world, and we will burn your cities down. Down... We will burn your cities down! We will burn your cities down! We will burn your cities down! Feed the hungry, feed them shit. Feed them bones and politics. You wanna revolutionize? Be specific and believe your eyes. Start a war in another backyard, and we'll destroy your house of cards. Give me a minute and I'll change your mind. Give me a bullet and I'll change your life. Remember! Surrender! The time is now! Continue! We're in you! And we will burn your cities down! America is a killing name. It doesn't feel or discriminate. Life is just a killing field. It's all that's left, nothing's real. Throw away your disposable past. And fall apart like a cigarette ash. We are the fatal and final ones of the world, and we will burn your cities down. Down! Down! We will burn your cities down! Down! Down! We will burn your cities down. America... What if god doesn't care? What if god doesn't care?

Easily one of their best songs and pretty technical by Slipknot standards. This album is quite underrated. Has some weak songs but the high points on this album (Gematria, Gehenna, This Cold Black, All Hope is Gone) are absolutely amazing.

Is it me,or his voice is just really deep in this album?

Kabbalah .. Gematria.. And Zach k Hubbard brought me here

So many kickass riffs in this song, especially the one at 4:12.

This album has the best guitar tone from both Mick and Jim.

And people still had the audacity to call Slipknot not heavy smh

Jewish mystic kabbalah, Gematria, coding letters into numbers, Paul Gray=38 He died age 38. Gematria=38 His nickname was the pig. The Pig=38 Killing=38 Posthumously awarded the "Kerrang"=38 Died in Room 431......431 the 83rd prime...83/38. Learning reverse it makes it even better... Paul Gray died in Johnston, Iowa. Johnston=38(reverse reduction) Johnston, Iowa=163 163 is the 38th prime number

Holy shit joey omg .

The most underrated album opener since the turn of the century.

This era of Slipknot was really special. Such a huge change from Volume 3 which was already so amazing.

*Zach Hubbard has entered the chat*

the typo in the image tho...

There really is something special about Paul... @ 0:05 he strikes an open string and it's just one goddamn open string but it feels like the end has come. As if you gazed into the mystic orb and saw the four horsemen of the apocalypse come galloping under glooming clouds in a hurry to seal our fate. How did he do this? I've never heard any bassist, let alone musician, capable of such inhuman wizardry.

Gematria in Hebrew is turning the written word into it's numerical value. Words with the same numerical value are thought to be the same. For example adding Ariel up gives you a numerical value of 115. The name molek(false God) is also equal to 115 so it is believed they are the same thing. Just transformed Slipknot into it's gematria numerical value and I come up with...379. so what is equal to 379? Disaster is equal to 379 as well.

It's time to put this on the setlist !! Eloy is capable to play this live

4:16...for the longest time I thought Corey said "feed them bones and a bowl of Trix"

Please Slipknot, add this song to the setlist. PLEASE!!!

They run out of "t"s or something?

HEY GUYS AT ROADRUNNER YOU MADE A TYPO ON THE PICTURE IN THE VIDEO

You don't need friends when you have a Slipknot playlist ♥♥♥♥

This is heavier than Iowa. So underrated and never played live. This and All Hope is Gone can take anyone two other songs they've done. These are monsters and should be played live. GEMATERIA will always be one of my favorites. Its a wake up call to the state of our species. Also have your noticed that at the end corey is yelling just like on vol. 3? Randomly noticed it sounds very similar.

lyrics:

Gematria, Gehenna, This Cold Black and All Hope Is Gone are the highlights of this album imo.

Fellow maggots, what is Gematria? I saw many other results related to Bible and such.... Please explain...

I FUCKING HATE the fact that they dismiss this unbelievable album! ;(

welcome back truth seeker

0:53 I LOVE IT

"What if God doesn't care?!", classic.

Once yhu understand Symbolism & Numerology, you'll understand this song is beyond deep, as deep as the rabbit hole.

This might sound weird, but I feel there's something very classy about this song. In fact, the album as a whole has a classy, neat finish compared to the brutality of some of their other albums. I love that contrast.

Learn Gemetria. It's how the run the world.

Funny… it says “Gemaria” instead of “Gematria” on the video image

bruh the image says gemaria

the mixture of Sid's turntables and Craig's samples at 2:05 sounds incredible

why does AHIG get so much hate? It's their best album, in my opinion. It's more complex than the others

🤘🤘3:35 in, holy shit that is so good

Research gematria these guys are trying to give a message

Joey's drum beats vary, including in this song, it's hard to forget for a crazy drummer, a monster, leaving the universe too soon for someone as great as him, it's just that this song has never been performed on their LIVE, one of the best songs in All Hope Is Gone

I just found out about gematria.... interesting. Also brutal as all fuck

They must play this live someday it has some kick ass riffs

Amazing song dude, I guess my favorite from All Hope Is Gone

How could a song have a name like this and people still don’t understand what it’s really about 🤦🏾‍♂️

Joey Jordison》》》》Jay Weinberg

Is anyone hear actually familiar with what "gematria" actually is ?

why? Psychosocial= 120000000 viewers Gematria=1000000 viewers

Gemaria or Gematria 🤔

Is it odd the members who have passed have died by the numbers after writing a song about Gematria?

Metallica+Slipknot= this fucking masterpiece.

jesus i dont knot why this album get all the shit from everybody the drum work on this is fucking amazing

Got pretty relevant real quick

Corey’s vocals and lyrics in this song is where he really shines,and it’s incredible.

Lyrics coming soon XD where are they? :D
