Originally called “The Heretic Song,” this song was the first promo single released from Iowa. An anti-single, the song was retitled “… Anthem” when Iowa was released.
Corey Taylor, the first time introducing the song:
A couple of months ago, some evil people, some money hungry, cocksucking, idiot motherfuckers came to us and said: “You know, if you want your next album to be huge, you gotta write a radio friendly song” … Now being that we are Slipknot, we are 9 crazy people from the middle of nowhere , 9 people that do not give one rat fuck about what the fucking music industry fucking thinks, we stood there politely, we processed the information and we said: “Well, thank you Mr. Businessman, but if you’ll excuse me… SUCK MY MOTHERFUCKIN' DICK!!!” And this next song is a result of that fuckin' conversation, “if you’re 555 then I am 666, this song is called Heretic Song!”
