The O’Keefe Music Foundation kids are back doing the dark lords' work, uploading a video featuring a band of junior maggots absolutely crushing a cover of Slipknot’s The Heretic Anthem.
Fronted by 10-year-old Zoë Franziska (who you may remember from this cover of Korn's Freak On A Leash), the group of 11 junior maggots unleash hell on this and look to be having the time of their lives doing it. It's enough to bring a tear to a metalheads eye.

The Heretic Anthem appears on Slipknot's heralded second full-length Iowa, which was recently reissued on vinyl and is available now in the Maniacs store.
Iowa (Coke Bottle Clear 2LP Vinyl)
Slipknot's second studio album, Iowa is unforgettable and unforgiving in its brutality. It excites and inspires the 'maggot' within each of us. It is a record that will remain forever important to the esteem of the nine-headed metal monster that gave it birth, and of course to the legacy of the two who have now sadly departed this earthly realm (RIP Joey and Paul). Home to People = Shit, The Heretic Anthem, Left Behind and My Plague this iconic statement record from Slipnot is now available to pre-order via Maniacs on beautiful Coke Bottle Clear 2 LP Vinyl.
Slipknot dropped their seventh studio album The End, So Far earlier ths year. Produced collaboratively by Joe Baressi (Queens Of The Stone Age, Soundgarden, Avenged Sevenfold, Parkway Drive) and Slipknot, The End, So Far is the follow-up to Slipknot’s 2019 We Are Not Your Kind which marked the band’s third consecutive #1 on the ARIA album chart.
Preceded by three well-received singles The Chapeltown Rag, The Dying Song (Time To Sing) and Yen, which introduced us into the immersive and sonically expansive world of The End, So Far the record sees one of the world’s most popular and deeply enigmatic bands relentlessly charting new ground as they continue to redefine, revitalize, and reimagine the scope of rock music.
To celebrate the widely anticipated release we caught up with Slipknot bass player, Alessandro 'V-Man' Venturella for a discussion about all things The End, So Far, if you haven't already, head on over and give it a read.
