Excellent news! You won’t have to attend so long as you suppose you do for a brand new Slipknot report. In accordance with Slipknot guitarist Jim Root in an interview with the Turning Wrenches podcast, Slipknot toured onerous after recruiting new drummer Eloy Casagrande to “present folks why Eloy is a part of Slipknot.” However now that everybody will get it – which is not shocking contemplating how good Casagrande is – it is time to work on a brand new report. Ideally not on the street.
“It is actually onerous for me personally to be artistic when you realize you have got a tour looming over your shoulder. I have to know that I’ve received a while off in order that I can, like… That is my desk behind right here. I’ve received my reference screens and the pc I report on. And I would like time simply to sit down right here and provide you with concepts and layer and make preparations that I can ship off to Corey and Clown and all that stuff. So, after this European run — I advised our supervisor, I am, like, ‘Cease reserving excursions, dude. Cease it.’ I get it. It is Slipknot, so there’s at all times presents coming in. And it is onerous to say no, as a result of there’s guys within the band that in some methods… We at all times love enjoying exhibits, love enjoying reside exhibits, however there’s some guys within the band, a number of the newer guys, that they want the cash ‘trigger they’re household guys and so they have households.
“They usually’re employed members of the band, and we do not wanna need to have them return to work after we get off tour. We wanna be capable to make sufficient cash that we will nonetheless pay them in order that we will work on music and get them out to the studio that Clown likes to make use of and simply be artistic and work. And you’ll’t do this except you have got income to do this. However I type of put my foot down and was, like, ‘We have to cease, man. We simply have to cease.’ ‘Trigger I wanna write a report, and we owe it to Eloy to jot down a report. We have to get Eloy in a room and begin jamming and getting artistic and get all the remainder of the blokes within the band and begin riffing out after which constructing them into songs. Plus I would like the time for myself simply to sit down right here at this desk and be artistic. And it is coming again.”
Root continued: “I do know I noticed somewhat little bit of a viral submit about me. The press at all times takes your shit out of context, and it was, like, ‘Do not anticipate the report anytime quickly,’ kind of factor. And that was performed just a few months in the past [last December] on the final tour after I was [in London at the end of Slipknot‘s fall 2024 European tour and] very tour weary. Nicely, that is not the case anymore. I’ve received, like, six new preparations that I believe are worthy of giving to the remainder of the blokes. I will not give the blokes stuff that I do not suppose is worthy of being on a Slipknot report and there is sufficient room there that everyone can put their enter on and we will take it to that degree.
“And proper now I am taking a look at six [songs] and I’ve 4 extra that I am engaged on. And I would prefer to have 20 or 25 earlier than we really begin doing pre-production and rewriting and rearranging and Corey placing lyrics on every thing. So, no excursions arising. It is in all probability gonna be some time earlier than we do one other U.S. run or a European run. The very last thing we did was — we did South America and Mexico, after which we did Australia and New Zealand. And that type of kicked my ass somewhat bit. It took me virtually a couple of month to get better from that — my sleep. Simply the jet lag. You cross the worldwide dateline, so that you get residence earlier than you left, and it is 30 hours of being within the air and touring.”
Root later added that he’d prefer to get some new music out into the world earlier than hitting everybody with a full-length, principally simply to tide followers over. So here is hoping that occurs someday in 2025, proper? Within the meantime, Slipknot has the next pageant dates arising.
