A new Slipknot album this year is something that members Corey Taylor and Clown have both been very forthcoming about in recent times.

According to an interview that Corey did recently with SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” things sound like they are now really getting real. Here is an excerpt of that conversation, as transcribed by the lovely people at Blabbermouth:

“The record is actually in the process of being mixed right now. Everything is finished, so it’s just being mixed right now, which is rad news. So it’s probably gonna take… I think it’s probably gonna be another three months [before it is released]. The artwork’s done. We just came up with the title. I’m not gonna tell you it right now. But we’re really stoked. So hopefully three months from now — well, less than that — we’ll get the single out, and then three months from now we’ll get the album out.”

Commenting further on the musical direction of the new Slipknot album, he went on to say:

“It’s really killer, man. It’s darker than ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, but there’s a ton of melody. I’ve been telling everybody that it’s like a heavier version of ‘Vol. 3[: (The Subliminal Verses)]’. It’s got so many textures and layers. The heavy stuff has attack but the melodic stuff you can just sink your teeth in; there’s a lot of great melodies and hooks. I’m really, really excited for people to hear it.”

Ok, so:

  • Album name: check
  • Album artwork: check

This of course would be the proper full length follow up to 2019’s “We Are Not Your Kind.”
