Falling In Reverse Unite Corey Taylor + Serj Tankian on Manic New Single “Joseph”

THE DROP

Falling In Reverse dropped "Joseph" on September 14, 2026 with Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian both on guest vocals — the first time those two have ever appeared on a recording together ^†^††. The title is Ronnie Radke's middle name ^*^††.

WHAT TO KNOW

Third release since 2024's Popular Monster, following "God Is A Weapon" with Marilyn Manson and "All My Women" with Hardy ^*
Moves between quiet piano, heavy guitar and electronic elements; Radke raps, screams and sings falsetto ^*^¶
Consequence says it's audibly indebted to both Slipknot and System Of A Down, and Tankian's part lands in a softer, SOAD-flavored passage ^*^¶
Radke and Tyler Smyth produced; Smyth mixed and mastered; Jensen Noen directed the video ^††^‡‡
No album announced and no tour dates listed ^*

THE TAKE

Overtly political lyrics — Taylor's verse on bombed schools and prisons, Tankian's on war and genocide ^¶ — is a real swing, and getting those two in one song is a genuine first. But this is now three straight guest-heavy singles with no album attached ^*, and the pattern starts looking like a strategy rather than a record.
