Slipknot<\/a><\/strong> appeared to have new music coming “very soon”<\/a> back in June, but now it seems the wait might be a little bit longer.<\/p>\n In a new interview with Alternative Press<\/a><\/em>, Slipknot<\/a><\/strong> percussionist Clown<\/strong> revealed a brief timeline for new music that doesn’t seem to include 2024. “Somewhere between 2025 and mid-2026, there’s gonna be writing,” he said. “I think it’s gonna be sooner than later. Maybe we’ll be in the studio in the later part of 2025. There’s no expectations. No one’s in a rush, but we’re not going to blow it off, either.”<\/p>\n Clown<\/strong> later noted that Slipknot<\/a><\/strong> still isn’t interested in a long-term record deal like they had with Roadrunner for their whole career, but that a shorter one might be possible. “I won’t sign a seven-album deal. But could we do one-offs or two? I don’t know. Am I interested in doing it ourselves? Well, that’s a lot of fuckin’ work. Could we do it? Yeah. Could it be beneficial for the band? Of course. Is it going to be 10 times more work? Absolutely.”<\/p>\n And then of course there’s the topic of new drummer Eloy Casagrande<\/strong>, who’s been out there crushing it<\/a>. Vocalist Corey Taylor<\/strong> said he feels Casagrande<\/strong> might push the band toward a sound they haven’t had in a while, which is geat news considering how damn good old Slipknot<\/a><\/strong> is.<\/p>\n “Eloy<\/strong> is such a natural writer. I think he’s going to take us to some places we haven’t been in a while,” said Taylor<\/strong>. “I’ve got a lot to say, and I’m looking forward to expounding on a lot of different things.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
