Overview
- In a Dec. 3 Discord Q&A, percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan told fans “2026 is the year,” apologizing for missing his 2025 target.
- The project has been teased since 2019 with missed windows including 2019, 2020 and 2025, prompting guitarist Jim Root to say he has threatened to leak it.
- Recorded in 2008 by Crahan, Corey Taylor, Jim Root and Sid Wilson during the All Hope Is Gone sessions, the music is described as experimental and more Radiohead‑like than typical Slipknot.
- Crahan has said 11 songs exist, the record has been mixed and mastered with artwork, and only ‘Til We Die’ has been officially released from those sessions.
- Separately, new drummer Eloy Casagrande says Slipknot are exchanging ideas and jamming on fresh material.
