New Slipknot Album Details Surface

Nearly four years have passed since the release of Slipknot's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses.)" But members of the masked metal act have little doubt that its as-yet-untitled fourth studio effort, tentatively due Aug. 12 via Roadrunner Records, will appease its loyal fans, the Maggots.

"It's going to rip your face off," Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor tells Billboard.com with confidence. "I don't think the world will be ready for this album."

Declining to give an album title or song names, Taylor describes Slipknot's forthcoming set -- which is being recorded in the band's home state of Iowa -- as a "very dark" cross between "Vol. 3" and 2001's "Iowa." "It has so much power in it and yet there are so many great spots for melody," he explains. "It's a controlled chaos that hits you right out of the gate."

Lyrically, "Instead of bitching about what went wrong in my life, I'm bitching about what's wrong in life, period," Taylor says, noting that his vocals are much more melodic than before. "I got to the point where I was tired of pretending that I couldn't sing every time I made a Slipknot album, so this time I'm going all out."

After finishing its 2005 tour in support of "Vol. 3" -- which has moved 1.4 million units in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan -- some of Slipknot's nine members took a break from the band to focus on other musical projects. Taylor, who also fronts rock act Stone Sour, spent the next two-and-a-half years promoting the band's 2006 sophomore release, "Come What(ever) May."

"But the whole time we were doing the Stone Sour album, I was writing and figuring stuff out for the Slipknot album," Taylor recalls. "So when it came time to work this, I already had notebooks full of stuff and my own musical ideas."

Although Stone Sour is currently on hiatus while Taylor focuses on Slipknot, new material is currently being written for the band's next studio album, according to Taylor.

Meanwhile, Slipknot's time apart has given the act a new sense of musical confidence and maturity, Taylor observes. "I think we're all in way better places now," he says. "We're not afraid to speak up and say what we like and don't like. With that kind of confidence and maturity, you really get to explore different stuff."

Along with its new album, Slipknot will appear in "evolved" masks and uniforms, which Taylor describes as "not just a costume -- it's a way of life." The vocalist declined to give specifics, but says the freshened outfits are "very dark and will fit in everything image-wise that we're making with this album."

As previously reported, Slipknot will co-headline this summer's 30-date Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem tour, which begins July 9 at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Wash. For its daily set, the metal outfit will keep it "bare bones," Taylor says. "We'll definitely have some stuff with us, but it's all going to be building toward the concept of the new album dropping."

After its time on Mayhem ends in late August, Slipknot will likely take a month off before heading to Europe for a fall tour. "Then at the beginning of the year it's all headline from there," Taylor notes. "We'll probably do about a year of touring."

As for recording future Slipknot material, "We really want to do this album and then play it by ear," Taylor says. "It's a band that deserves every little bit of intensity that you have. If it gets to the point where you're not feeling it anymore, then you're just not feeling it anymore."

Thanks for the info to Billboard.com.

Im not really into Slipknot but I guess I'd try this one... For once.

[Stampede]

loved vol 3. hopefully this one will be just as good or better. i'm definitely going to pick it up.

Honestly I liked vol 3 so much because it showed a melodic side to slipknot and i think that ability coming from slipknot is underrated. If it's true what he said that this is going to be a cross of vol 3 and Iowa I have a very strong feeling I'm gonna love this album

[Guitar Spider]

CANT WAIT!!! I got into them years ago and became quite obsessed and then what with the hiatus and other bands, i didnt listen to them much but still loved them and only recently listened to all their stuff, knowing each lyric, each riff, each beat, each scream. It's like meeting an old friends once again, always more to discover. haha thats the end of my retrospection but man i wanna see them live! they better come to oz!

[DiveRightIn63]

sounds good.

[bikenutter]

looking forward to this album, and hopin it's as heavy as they say it is

[goon316]

Vol 3 was awesome but the others 2 albums all sound too similar. Heavy non-descript riffing with screaming thrown in. I hope they keep the vibe of Vol3 and from his comments it sounds like they will. This could be very good.

[not_dead_enough]

COME TO AUSTRALIA!!!

[FearBefore]

"I got to the point where I was tired of pretending that I couldn't sing every time I made a Slipknot album, so this time I'm going all out."

This is either gonna kick ass or be an epic failure. Regardless, I am excited to hear the new stuff.

[Onzaso]

Yesss!
This is gonna rock.

[TripleN666]

Man, cant wait for this.
New Slipknot album, new Metallica album.
This is awesome.

[torque352]

should be good, although Vol.3 had something to be desired

[iplay6string]

more guitar solos!!!!!

[condork]

can't wait! they are my favourite ever band, I was a bit young during the Iowa days so I haven't seen them live yet, when they come back to the UK I want to at least go to 3 of the gigs lol

[Quantonyne]

i was huge into slipknot back in the day but i kinda moved on from that kind of metal and ventured more into the epic side. but i am kinda interested in hearing some new stuff.

[z4twenny]

these guys rock. can't wait to hear the new stuff. i've heard so many people say these guys aren't "heavy" or "hardcore" or even "metal" but i gotta ask if songs like "eyeless" and "only one" aren't brutal, then what the hell is?

[C1osur3]

Let's hope they're as experimental with their sound as they were with Vol. 3.

[6metal6demon6]

DAM FINALLY!!!!!i cant wait for this. \m/

[y-e-a-r-z-e-r-o]

hope for heavy slipknot
yet
expect stone sour in a slipknot mask

[StringsofBlack]

God I can't wait. Hope this is badass. And I agree, more solos! The solos on Vol.3 were so kickass.

[Noverion]

never heard theyre first album but i really didnt like Iowa, i thought the lyrics were needlessly eughh (i split your throat and **** the wound?)its not thatit was bad, but i think Vol3 was much better, great album.

[AngerIsAGift06]

cya at reading mthfckas!

[Shabalaba]

Im looking foreward to this, should be great no matter how they changed it, They are all talented musicians

[Sober_god]

hope they put a solo in some songs

[borntobooze27]

Bringin back Iowa Sound? F+CK YEAH!!!!! Best F+ckin Slipknot album so far. "If you're 555 then I'm 666!" haha

[henkka_potku]

Vol. 3 had shitty riffs and bad singing, (the whole album was shit) maybe this new album will change everything.

Who am I kidding?

[Knotism]

SLIPKNOT!!!

[70'smetalman]

i messed the second one up but oh well...you know what i meant!

man, it's about time Slipknot comes out with some new stuff!!!!!

[isabiggles]

i used to be a huge slipknot fan. then i realised thier albums got progressively worse. MFKR was an amazing album and the rest were pretty mediocre ESPECIALLY Vol 3.
i liked iowa more than slipknot so i think this might be better than vol 3. to be honest i can't see this album being as good as he says. i'll buy it obviously just to see what happens but i don't have high expectations.

[your555im666]

Dis is gonna b som album dey beta com 2 cork Irland

[toine]

i didn't really liked Vol.3 but i loved Iowa
i'll definatly buy it

[dirtymexican863]

may slipknot be touched by His noodly appendage

[StupidMF]

Awesome-but Corey Taylor's quote was hilarious.

[Dark Artist]

Vol.3 rocked so I'm fully confident in this new record

[Anavrin224]

"I'm bitching about what's wrong in life, period..."

I so hope they do a song about being stuck in traffic and not receiving your modest tax refund yet...

[Bambi Slaughter]

the new costumes should be pretty sick. I cant wait to see them on the mayhem tour. \m/!!

[SEbI666]

HERLL YEAR theyre coming back to europe then will mosh that hard.. i mean look at live cannibalism from cannibal corpse americans are really lazy live... we in germany ARE prepared for this new piece of nice metal work!

hopefully mick and james will fire a lot of leads out like in vol3.
**** the haters...

MAGGOT FOR LIVE

[SlipknotRule93]

YAY! Can't wait!

I think I'm in Germany when it comes out so I might have to wait until I get back but I'm so excited!

[Guitar_Jester]

This will be awesome

[6syxx6]

vol. 3 was the worst slipknot album to date. if the new album sounds anything like vol. 3 it will complete the death of a great metal.

[cookdizzle]

i didn't get into slipknot(or music period) until after vol.3 so i'm kinda bias towards vol.3 being my favorite record of theirs, i like the iowa albums heavyness but i thought the lyrics were mediocre so i have high hopes for this one... i wonder if they wrote any songs in drop a like on the iowa album?

[CaptnWar]

what ever happened to all those crazy ass kids with the slip shirts... going down the hall in schools, you knew those kids had issues man.
now their shows are filled with 14 year old screaming girls.
FUCK VOL.3!!! slipstone is not slipknot.

[TehPwn3r]

Iowa and S/T were the best Vol. 3 was ok, it just would be a lot better if a different band made it, as for the new album, i don't expect it to be like Iowa or S/T its gonna be a mix between Vol.3 and Stone Sours newer album, basically not worth buying.

[SoftParade1967]

CANT WAIT! Love Slipknot!

[grungeisdead312]

its gonna rip my face off??
\m/

[Thornography]

I remember being a hardcore Slipknot fan two years ago, but that faded away after absolutely progress from Slipknot.

Hopefully this album will blow me away like Vol 3 did.

Stole the words right out of my mouth...well...Fingers.

If it's going to cross between Iowa and Vol. 3, I hope we see some tracks like Gently and Iowa again. They're some sick ass songs. Even if they were redone from the M.F.K.R album.

I promise you,,when Corey sings,,he SINGS and he KICKS ASS,,check it out on "Zzyzx Rd." of Stone Sour
enjoy and look forward to Corey,,singing in Slipknot =D

[i_am_metalhead]

This year is great... new Walls of Jericho, new John5, new Unearth, new Metallica, new Children of Bodom, new Slipknot... whats not to love about 2008!?

Can't wait for this album!

[icanntspelrite]

I'm interested, but with caution. Vol. 3 was complete garbage, and a MAJOR let-down for me because I was expecting something totally heavy. I believe the self-titled album best represents what Slipknot is all about, IMO. It was obvious Stone Sour influenced Vol. 3, and I'm desparately hoping this new album will be Slipknot again, not Stoneknot.

Corey's quote of, "It has so much power in it and yet there are so many great spots for melody," almost reveals that this album will be Vol 3 all over again..

[tim311mahoney]

vol. 3 ruled, can't wait.

[Martin259]

This will kick ass so hard!

[The Spoon]

Hey i can see his face...so they ditched the masks and how you couldnt see their faces at all before?

[RUSTDOGG666]

Holy Shit. Slipknot releasing an album this year? That's a surprise considering last album saying it could be their last. I knew they was leading us on. I knew Corey was going to continue Slipknot and look what happened. Out of nowhere an announcement that an album is done and ready to be released. That's awesome. Can't wait for it to be out. This is the year lots of bands are releasing albums and it kicks ass.

[TooFast]

The Spoon wrote:

Not really. They didn't wear masks in Stone Sour, so they probably got the picture from a Stone Sour period of time.

Thats not necessarily bad- personally I much prefer Stone Sour's stuff to Slipknot, but thats just me.

Regardless of what you prefer, they're two seperate bands. I personally like both, and would be disappointed if the two bands' sounds started merging. They're seperate projects for a reason.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. I think Vol. 3 was their best so far, and going by his comments they're sticking with the more melodic side of that album but getting a little heavier again and trashing about like they did on Iowa and Slipknot. Good news indeed!

[trendkiller69]

All of you are talking about slipknot being brutal ,but they are really not.for mainstream yes they are ,but bands like behemoth,mayhem,etc are much more brutal.

[TrUe MeTaL FaN]

cool

[Chainshred]

I love how everybody is either an Iowa fan or a Vol. 3 fan personally i love mfkr and the slipknot album. This new album should be an intresting mix between melody and heavy which in my opinion is good.

[dgme92]

I suppose some people may deem it offensive if I were to say when I first looked at the UG homepage, I thought the guy in the main pic was Axl Rose.

[red7]

i've been a fan from the first album... and i've been waiting for this next 1 4 a long ass time..... i can finally listen to some good heavy new stuff

[Waterboy799]

that's cool

i don't think the album will be as heavy as people want it to be since i haven't heard Corey scream well since Iowa, but ill pick it up anyway, Vol. 3 was good so i expect no different.

[ShredderOmega]

Iowa
Subliminal Verses
Slipknot
Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat.

Nice, my two favs they're crossing (y)
Especially cool since I learned guitar from the back of the Iowa tab book :p

[stumaster18]

wow. SO ****ing excited. This album is going to rock!!

[Tumble-weed]

I was into them a while back but decided to go into heavier and more progressive bands (like Opeth and Between the Buried and Me). I'm glad to hear they're doing something different and darker but I'm not gonna pick it up. I'm past the whole nu-metal phase (although Subliminal Verses had some interesting songs).

[john{ND}{NGD}]

I hope it sounds more like a Stone Sour album. Stone sour is wayyyy better and corey actually sings in their songs.....

[k90728]

im not a fan of slipknot but after checkin some songs of slipknot on imeem i reliezed that the vocalist is wack... the drumming is pretty sweet... the guitarist, lol its not like horrible but its not InS@n3.. i do like his singing voice like in his other band his screaming thing is like i said wack.

[SOADwannabe]

the more melodic side of slipknot that showed in vol3 AND the raw...power and emotion that was in iowa? this should be an amazing album

[Wayward_Son]

Hmm... it's probably being recorded close to my house... not a big fan though.

[megatallica666]

i liked Iowa, but not 3 so much.

[liquidknowledg4]

teens and preteens worldwide go nuts!

[darkfire_storm]

Personally, I loved Vol. 3 and all their other records, and I really like Stone Sour's Come What(ever) May, so if it's anything like what they've done, I'm sure I won't be let down...

Then again, I can see how the die-hard S/T and Iowa album fans would be disappointed by that. Don't get me wrong, it's all fantastic as far as I'm concerned... actually, if Corey Taylor had something to do with it, it usually rocks, so I'm not worried.

TOURS! WHOO!

cool hes going to actually use his vocal talent , like he does with stone sour.... might actually be good.

[HIM%(^]

if slipknot could sound like the stuff that joey wrote on the roadrunner united album, they would be a sick band. plus, even as your typical proghead, (yes i love dream theater) i actually really do think corey taylor has a good voice. i think slipknot could be a legitimate band if they decided to one day become musically ambitious..

[0h The Horror]

Hopefully Stone Sour hasn't corrupted the band too deeply, esspecially Jimmy. He was such an excellent guitarist before that little trainwreck, and it would be a shame to see his talent spill out in a mess before all of his dying fans.

[LordThon]

I feel kinda weird, admitting that I wasn't overly fond of Iowa. I understand the chaotic aim of the album, and the band in general, but...I felt that it went out of control even by THAT standard. Vol. 3 was an intriguing departure for the band, while maintaining its distance from Stone Sour's more directly metal sound. A proper blend of the chaos and the melody could be brilliant, though. I'm really looking forward to the new work.

alex-led-zepp91 wrote:

Stone Sour IS tuned down. :P Some stuff is just flat, but that's songs like Bother, Through Glass, and Zzyzx. 30/30 and other such songs are still in drop-B.

Vol. 3 sucked. This band hasn't been the same since they put out Iowa.

insane IOWA vocals with the musicality and solos from Vol.3

[The Silence]

Nice, looking forward to this!!!!

Wow this sounds quite good. My favorite songs are Duality and Everything Ends, so a mix will only be nice. I love Slipknot and both the screaming parts and the singing is so damn good. Can't wait, give it to me, NOW!!!

Even though I'm not a Slipknot fan anymore (I was once, when I first started getting into metal), I probably will check this out. I'm not gonna get my hopes up though.

[KoRnBitch]

Sounds great

The thing is though, if he sings too much it might ruin the Slipknot sound .. i hope he keeps his edge.

I don't get the part where it says they doubt it will appease the fans. Vol. 3 meets IOWA? If that is true, this Maggot will be appeased.


Just goes to show you who Slipknot fans are nowadays. Like, wow, totally.

Vol. 3 sucked. This band hasn't been the same since they put out Iowa.

hah, amen. ****in emos bring metal down
love the knot though

[Kenny_NJ]

I so hope they do a song about being stuck in traffic and not receiving your modest tax refund yet...

[Chufu]

I can already hear metal clanging coming from the Hot Topic. It's the sound of 12 year olds gluing roofing nails to thier clothing in anticipation.

[iplay6string]

waaaaah

...pedal

do it!

[dobby240]

i cant wiat for more songs like duality and liberate i fukink loved them!!

[wildchild6660]

If the new album is as good as Vol. 3, technically that would make them the most consistent band since Metallica. Unless I'm forgetting someone

[oughantor]

Slipknot is the best!!!!!

[DenHond]

makes me listen to my old slipknot cd's...

[ierostyle]

I think this will be the perfect slipknot album for me, yeah I kinda agree with Corey slipknot up til vol.3 were afraid to like sing properly, I'm really looking forward to this album I think this is going to be awesome

[Zanoa17]

I cant wait i loved all the slipknot cds its nice to kno that a band can change their sound and still be a great band like they did on Vol 3...slipknot kicks ass and this cd will be amazing

[metallica_121]

even though im f***in phsyced bout this new album, luved slipknot since i was 11 or so, i'd like to comment on the picture for the article, if no1 alreddy has, if u hav sorry, but Corey himself said that "without the masks it's not slipknot anymore" so that picture shuldn't bbe labeled "slipknot" accordin to Corey, but anyway, can't wait!!

[realrock4]

Well i really love slpiknot so this album should be good when is the release date again?

[G_MaN_69]

This album is guna KICK ASS!!!
But it will only be great if it sounds like Duality, Before i forget and Pulse of the maggots from the Vol3 album coz the other songs on that album werent all that great but these 3 songs are MEGA so with these mixed with Iowa songs, this album should sound class!
