InVisions are streaming their cover of Slipknot‘s “My Plague.” The track was released yesterday (May 24) on the ninth anniversary of Paul Gray’s death. InVisions commented:
“9 Years ago today we lost a legend. From day one Slipknot were responsible for getting us into heavier music and have always heavily influenced us as a band. It only seemed right that we covered one of our favorite tracks from ‘Iowa‘! R.I.P Paul Gray 🖤

“The stars aligned with this one. The fact that we were all able to pay tribute to our musical heroes, and record it live off the floor in one of the best studios in the country with two of the best producers in the world is something I think both of our bands can be proud of. We’re really grateful to Matt and Blacktop Mojo for lending their name and talents to this tribute. It was a magical experience.”
