COREY TAYLOR covers KANSAS classic 'Dust In The Wind' with BAD OMENS
28-02-2025
As excitement builds for the March 7 theatrical release of “Queen Of The Ring” — the highly anticipated biopic chronicling the trailblazing journey of wrestling icon Mildred Burke, written and directed by Ash Avildsen and starring Emily Bett Rickards — Sumerian Records are thrilled to release a very special collaboration between SLIPKNOT‘s Corey Taylor and BAD OMENS. The track, produced, mixed and mastered by Aaron Gilhuis, is haunting cover of the KANSAS classic “Dust In The Wind” and is featured on the official motion picture soundtrack of “Queen Of The Ring” (due via Sumerian Records on March 7).
Listen to “Dust In The Wind” below.
“Queen Of The Ring”, written and directed by Ash Avildsen, brings to life the untold story of wrestling legend Mildred Burke, who shattered barriers in the 1930s-1950s to become the first million-dollar female athlete and headline arenas over male competitors in a time when women’s wrestling was outright banned across much of the U.S.
The film stars Emily Bett Rickards (“Arrow”) in a career-defining role as Burke, alongside a stellar cast featuring Josh Lucas, Walton Goggins, Gavin Casalegno, Tyler Posey and Deborah Ann Woll, with pro wrestling stars Kamille, Toni Storm, Trinity Fatu and Jim Cornette making appearances.
With its March 7 release strategically set during for the weekend of International Women’s Day, the film is an ode to inspirational, trailblazing women who defied the odds and forever changed their industries.
Ash Avildsen grew up in a single-parent household, never having met his father but knowing who he was and having his last name. He chose to pursue music first as an artist, touring in a band and teaching himself the business through a DIY lifestyle. Using all the knowledge he learned from the road, he started his own record label. Sumerian Records has now become one of the top independents in the world for rock and alternative music, with several Grammy nominations and record-setting Billboard chart metrics for the hard-rock genre. Sumerian Records recently celebrated a historic achievement with the first Grammy nomination in the history of the Recording Academy for a solo female artist in the “Best Metal Performance” category, featuring avant-garde singer Poppy.
Avildsen‘s first feature film, “American Satan”, won several awards on the festival circuit before being distributed by Miramax. The film had a theatrical release and was subsequently picked up by Showtime, where it developed a growing cult following. Avildsen expanded on this success by writing and directing the limited series spin-off “Paradise City”.
Corey‘s solo album of covers and B-sides from the “CMF2” album sessions, titled “CMF2B… Or Not 2B”, was released digitally in 2023. The effort was previously made available via BMG as part of Record Store Day.
Throughout “CMF2”, Taylor sings, plays lead and rhythm guitar, piano, and mandolin.
