Slipknot’s Taylor discusses new album

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has given insight into the developments and progress of future Slipknot material.

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has given insight into the developments and progress of future Slipknot material.


The vocalist notes the band is tentaviely eyeing early next year to work on new material.


"The only thing we've talked about is the beginning of next year, getting together and seeing where each other are at, musically.


I know I've got some music that I've been working on. Joey's (Jordison) got a bunch of stuff. Jim's (Root) got some stuff. Clown's always got a lot of really interesting musical ideas. So it'll be really cool to see what happens.


We really don't have a timetable; we've basically told everybody, 'Screw you, don't give us a deadline' because this album especially is too important. It's going to be a daunting task going into the studio without (the late bassist) Paul Gray, so I don't need a bunch of suits rushing me through something that is going to be pretty emotional. Right now the plan is to just go into the studio and see what happens,” Taylor told Billboard.
