A teaser site for Slipknot has recently been circulating online via the band’s fan communities and across advertisements in select cities. They point to unlock.slipknot1.com, which sports an image of the band’s logo and the numbers 09 and 28. With production still said to be underway on the masked metal group’s forthcoming new album, fans are speculating that a tour announcement is on the horizon to help launch that eventual eighth studio album into the world.
Per the below post on the band’s Reddit fan community, advertisements in San Francisco, CA, Hershey, PA, Houston, TX, Chicago, IL and Washington, DC have been spotted thus far. Slipknot have been working on their eighth studio album with producer Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Mushroomhead) as of late.
Despite the recent debut of their divisive new single “Arsenal“, it would appear that new record isn’t right around the corner. Guitarist Jim Root has described that track as a standalone single, which won’t be included on the album. Earlier this month, Root also indicated tracking was still underway for that new record.
Update: September 21st, 2026 02:04pm:
Flyers for Los Angeles, CA, Toronto, ON, Bogota, Colombia, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Mexico City, Mexico have been spotted as well.
