Slipknot’s New Drummer Says Fresh Music Is ‘Cooking’ as Writing Ramps Up

Casagrande reports intensive writing activity with no release announced.

Overview

  • Eloy Casagrande told Drummer’s Review that Slipknot are actively creating new material and confirmed that new music is in progress.
  • Since joining in early 2024, Casagrande says the band has been trading riffs, building drum parts, holding jam sessions and amassing ideas to shape into songs.
  • No tracks or release dates have been finalized, and the teased 2024 song Long May You Die remains unreleased.
  • Guitarist Jim Root has described touring fatigue and low inspiration at points but also said he has about six solid song ideas and wants a rawer sound reminiscent of the early records.
  • NME has reported a potential $120 million catalog sale to HarbourView and Clown has discussed the long-delayed Look Outside Your Window project, though both remain unconfirmed for release timing.
