Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan has said that the nu metal titans will release new music “really soon”.
The 54-year-old, who co-founded Slipknot in 1995, made the revelation in a new interview with Revolver.
“Well, one thing I can say is this: There’s always going to be new Slipknot music,” Crahan said when asked about new songs from the band.
“But we’ve also said that there is a filter, and we are the filter, and that filter must go through everyone. And when I was telling you that we’re doing a lot better communicating, now apply that to communicating about music.
The musician continued: “I can say that there’s gonna be music sooner than you can imagine, delivered to you in a way you can’t imagine.
“And I’m excited because we're not on a label. And there’s a lot of dismay with that, you know what I mean? But there’s also a lot of middle fingers with that. I love it, you know? Come and get us, or we’ll come to get you!”
Last month, Slipknot confirmed long-standing rumours that they’d written a new song called Long May You Die.
The band posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Slipknot fans are talking amongst themselves about Long May You Die being a new song written during the recent recording sessions.
“You’re right. You’re absolutely right.”
Slipknot’s new music will be the band’s first with former Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande, who officially joined in April to replace Jay Weinberg. Weinberg was dismissed in November.
Slipknot will tour extensively in 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.
Crahan has previously teased that the band will play the album in full and host some intimate concerts this year.
