"Blind" by Suicide Silence

 


Riverside, California deathcore band Suicide Silence cover "Blind," a 1994 rap metal single from Bakersfield group Korn.

Speaking of Korn and seeing, seeing that you're going blind, according to the Oddly Cute Pets website:

Some albino corn snakes are blind, but most have very poor eyesight. They rely mostly on scent to take in the environment around them. The albinism of the snakes will likely reduce the already poor eyesight of corn snakes. 

For a cover by Korn, their version of "Word Up!" can be found here.
