Slipknot Detail Approach to New Album

Jim Root said Slipknot are trying not to repeat themselves on their new album. He said the group is trying different methods and that the new approach could hurt some people’s feelings. Root described the new energy as honest and real, adding that it reminded him of the band’s recordings from their earlier days.

Root said the new album will not repeat The End, So Far. He also said Slipknot’s recent work was not raw enough and that the group is targeting the most exciting and most live sound. Slipknot recorded live with Eloy, and the band said everything on the new work is analog and played.

Matt Wallace is producing Slipknot’s new album. The band is reported to have about 50 songs. Slipknot released Arsenal on September 9. Concerts are planned in London, North America and South America as part of the (sic)est Stadium Tour.

Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore and Hatebreed will appear at Slipknot’s Wembley concert.
