Slipknot Are Working On New Music

---

Slipknot released their sixth album called ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ just last year, but the band are already working on a follow-up.

Speaking with Murphy Quint, head distiller at Cedar Ridge Distillery (who make Slipknot’s Iowa No.9 whiskey), Clown revealed that the band are using the current downtime brought by Coronavirus to work on music, without the pressure of actually having to.

Clown said “Right now is kind of an interesting time, We’re taking this time to write some new music. So for the last week, we’ve been just having a good time, eating a lot of food and writing god music. So we’re having a good time.”

Going on to say “Since everybody’s taken a lot of time off, we thought we’d utilise it by getting together and do what we probably do best, which is write music”

“So it’s been good, because there’s no pressure. It’s not like we have to. We’re doing it because we want to. And it’s just been a blessing, because boredom can set in. And I know all of us in the world are going crazy, so we’re really lucky to be able to be together and do what we love most.”

Last month, Corey Taylor, Slipknots Frontman, revealed he’d been talking to Clown, and they were both “thinking about what the next album could be like.”

Adding “And he’s in this trippy place, dude, which is rad. I love it when he’s in this crazy mindset, because I know I’m gonna hear stuff that I’ve never heard before.”

“He’s so goddamn creative, and that inspires Jim [Root – guitar]. And all the tumblers really start to fall. So it’s pretty rad. I can’t wait.”
