Background

Slipknot first teased the release of Adderall on June 8, 2023, when they shared a short video on social media which linked to a website containing a video for the song "Death March", a slowed-down, reversed version of "Adderall". The next day, the EP was released on streaming platforms and a video for the rough mix of "Adderall" was also shared.^[3]
