Slipknot wrapped the sessions for their upcoming new album “We Are Not Your Kind” with an abundance of leftover material. Speaking recently with Kerrang! regarding that, the band’s percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan commented:
“Did we know that this was going to be the album? No. No-one knows. There’s another 15 songs that didn’t make the cut – there’s at least seven or eight songs that are recorded, with vocals, that did not make this album. There’s so much material, but all that material whittled this down to its anomaly, and to its presentation.”
When pressed about what will happen to the songs they didn’t use on the record, he offered:
“Usually you take your collection of records, and you make an album. So we have a bunch of records, and we have to basically decide which ones of those records can make up a thought process known as ‘We Are Not Your Kind‘.”
