Percussion prodigy Nandi Bushell has released a wild drum cover of Slipknot’s ‘Unsainted’. The video was released on Boxing Day (26th December), just months after Bushell released her debut original track ‘Gods and Unicorns.’
In the description of the video, the young artist expressed her passion for music, and the heavy metal genre in particular. ‘Yes! I am a total metal head! I love how awesome the drumming is in Slipknot!’ the artist wrote in her bio. ‘This is my first attempt at double pedals! Taking my playing to the next level. This song brings my A game Corey Taylor.”
The 10-year old rising star first captured the limelight after uploading a cover on Nirvana’s ‘In Bloom’ earlier this year. The video quickly went viral, and caught the attention of the band’s drummer Dave Grohl, who praised Bushell publicly. The two soon collaborated, with the two taking part in various drum battles, and promising to collaborate after meeting for the first time.
Meanwhile, Slipknot have hinted at a possible album release next year, to follow up their 2019 release ‘We Are Not Your Kind’. However, nothing has been confirmed yet, with Corey Taylor stating that ‘…we all kind of feel like there’s unfinished business, and we wanna finish that out before we do anything.’
