The Uncanny Valley

This is a track from House Of Gold And Bones: Part 2, the second half of a double concept album about a character called The Human who wakes up in a mysterious world. The main riff for the song came to frontman Corey Taylor by accident. He recalled to Artist Direct: "That came from mis-fretting an e-major chord. My finger was clear up on the b-string. I lifted it and came back to the g-string, and I was like, "That's cool as s--t!" I did it again, and that's how I get the riff for 'The Uncanny Valley.'"
