Slipknot’s Corey Taylor to guest star on ‘Doctor Who’

Taylor, who is a massive Doctor Who fan, was contacted by the show’s production staff after they learned of his love for the series.

Doctor Who bosses believe they have found a flawless fit with Slipknot’s singer providing the growl for a new monster.

Still, Taylor had definitely earned his place alongside musical guest stars including Foxes, Katherine Jenkins and many more.

British website The Mirror reports the appearance culminated when Taylor visited the “Doctor Who” headquarters while being in Cardiff, Wales, for a Slipknot show earlier this year.

Taylor is the lead singer of American band Slipknot, known for their aggressive style of music and horror film-style masks.

The Fisher King, in case you’re wondering, is the antagonist from the upcoming two-part story Under the Lake/ Before the Flood.

A spokesperson for the series says, “We asked him if we could record his roar to use for the monster and he was completely up for it!”

‘The Time Lord and Clara set out to save the frightened crew of an underwater base who have come under attack from a mysterious threat. Just last week, the BBC announced that actor/comedian Peter Serafinowicz will provide the Fisher King’s voice. In fact, he won’t even be speaking the Fisher King’s lines.

The Fisher King character will appear in an episode of the show that will air next Saturday.

Meanwhile, new doctor Peter Capaldi earned a bit of credibility in the world of rock, having recently played an electric guitar in a Doctor Who episode without any editing tricks or overdubs. Will you be tuning in to hear the scream?
