Slipknot Detail New Album and 2027 Tour

Jim Root said some people will have their feelings hurt by Slipknot's upcoming new album. He said it is very important that the band does not repeat itself on the record. Slipknot are trying different approaches, and Root said the album should not be expected to sound like Iowa or the self titled album.

Root said the new recording process reminds him of the band's early recordings and feels honest to him. He also said the group chose the angriest-sounding amplifier from a selection of 16 amps. Slipknot recorded the tracks live with drummer Eloy Casagrande on the studio floor. Root described the band's 2022 album The End, So Far as disjointed and a mess.

Slipknot's (sic)est Stadium Tour will begin in 2027, with Marilyn Manson and Bring Me The Horizon providing support. The tour's only United Kingdom and European concert will take place at Wembley Stadium in London on July 3. General ticket sales will begin Friday, October 2, at 10 a.m. local time.
