Slipknot will “rip your face off”

Slipknot have thrown down the gauntlet with the promise that their new album will “rip your face off”. Ouch.

Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor told US mag Billboard: “I don’t think the world will be ready for this album. It’s a 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. It’s a controlled chaos that hits you right out of the gate.”

Taylor also confirmed that he’ll be flexing his vocal cords on the album: “I got to the point where I was tired of pretending that I couldn’t sing every time I made a Slipknot album,” he said. “So this time I’m going all out.”

The band are currently in a two-week lockdown putting the finishing touches to the album, which will be out this September. In the meantime, we’re going to invest in some protective head gear…
