Shawn Crahan has shared details explaining his creative vision behind the promotional music video for Arsenal, which is the new single released by Slipknot. The song was released as a surprise by the band earlier this month. Crahan, who serves as the percussionist for Slipknot, directed the official promotional video for the track himself.

For the visual direction of the Arsenal music video, Crahan made the decision not to include the members of Slipknot on screen. Instead of featuring the band members within the clip, the video focuses entirely on the story of a character. Actor Jackson White was chosen to play the role of this character in the video.

Root stated that the song Arsenal will not be included on the eighth album from Slipknot.

Slipknot has not yet finalized the official mask and costume designs for the new album era.
