Slipknot Members To Begin Writing New Material Early Next Year

Slipknot percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan has told Rollingstone.com that he and guitarist Jim Root will be getting together in February to begin writing new material for the band. With frontman Corey Taylor due to begin a new album cycle with Stone Sour next year however, it doesn’t seem likely that Slipknot will hit the studio proper anytime soon. The rest of Crahan‘s conversation with the aforementioned site centered around his role directing the new film, ‘Officer Downe‘, which recently saw a release.
