Slipknot, etc. frontman Corey Taylor recently hinted at the direction of Slipknot‘s new studio album which the band plan tentatively plan to focus on writing together around January. The following exchange took place with ARTISTdirect.com in regards to it:
“What’s next for you?
Honestly, Slipknot is looming on the horizon. That’s what’s next in my mind anyway. I’m writing some demos. Clown is putting some things together. Joey is doing Scar The Martyr, but he’s a fucking machine. He can write at any time. This band is just loaded with writers. We don’t have a definitive start date, which is fine. That’s okay for us now. When we’re ready to make the album, we will. That’s the mindset. Next year we’re going to get together and start putting the pieces together.
What do you< think of now, when someone brings up Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses?
That album is a bit of a peek at what I think the next album will be. It’ll be a cross between Iowa and Vol. 3 in a lot of ways, while also evolving the way we always have. The stuff I’m writing right now is really dark. The stuff Clown is coming with is fucking beyond. It’s really cool. It’s going to be cool to get the alchemists in the same room and see what happens.”
