Overview
- M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan told fans in a December 3 Discord Q&A that the long-delayed album will arrive in 2026, apologizing for missing this year and saying he is tired of waiting.
- The material was tracked in 2008 during the All Hope Is Gone era by Clown, Corey Taylor, Jim Root and Sid Wilson, with only the song Til We Die officially released so far.
- This pledge follows years of shifting timelines and missed targets, including previously floated 2024 and 2025 release windows.
- Band members describe the music as experimental and melodic with a Radiohead-like vibe that does not resemble a typical Slipknot record.
- Separately, new drummer Eloy Casagrande says Slipknot are developing fresh material and already have a lot of ideas in progress.
