The song marks the first musical collaboration between frontman Robb Flynn and original “Burn My Eyes” era guitarist Logan Mader in 24 years.

Butler recently spoke to U.K.’s Kerrang! magazine where his opinion of the filthy song came up whilst he was discussing “Unspeakable Elvis”, a song from his 1997 solo album “Black Science”, which was reissued in October. “That’s really about the fact...
