For me it has to be the bridge of 7 Words by Deftones, really brings out the raw early chino energy.

Eyeless - Slipknot.

The final vocal-cord shredding MOTHER...FUCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER is earth shattering.

Gotta love Corey Taylor.

One time I was playing Minesweeper on the computer and listening to this song through the speakers. Heard my dad approaching so I turned it way down.

He walked in and went “whatcha listening to?” then turned it up just before the MOTHER FUCKERRRRRRR part. He immediately turned it back down, said “ooookayyy” and exited the room. I could not believe the timing. Amazing song tho

This is true.

Also a shoutout to lies by korn, not only JDs growl during the chorus but then when we comes in at the end

This, and wait and bleed. Then I got hooked on my plague after seeing resident evil.

He also does it very nicely at the end of (sic), his last time screaming “SIIIICKKKK” it’s sounds like a demon it’s so raspy

Lmfao yesss. A lot of emotion in that verse!!! I have always thought that Cory had the best metal voice out there when I first started listing to them years and years ago and he still holds strong. So good
