Caution! New Slipknot Album May "Rip Your Face Off"

by Metal Martyr on May 13th, 2008

So the new Slipknot is supposed to be released in August. You’ve seen the silly masks they are flashing on Roadrun.com, now your wondering what the new album is going to be like. Here is what front-man Corey Taylor has to say about it:

“It’s going to rip your face off,” Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor tells Billboard.com with confidence. “I don’t think the world will be ready for this album.”

Declining to give an album title or song names, Taylor describes Slipknot’s forthcoming set — which is being recorded in the band’s home state of Iowa — as a “very dark” cross between “Vol. 3″ and 2001’s “Iowa.” “It has so much power in it and yet there are so many great spots for melody,” he explains. “It’s a controlled chaos that hits you right out of the gate.”

Lyrically, “Instead of bitching about what went wrong in my life, I’m bitching about what’s wrong in life, period,” Taylor says, noting that his vocals are much more melodic than before. “I got to the point where I was tired of pretending that I couldn’t sing every time I made a Slipknot album, so this time I’m going all out.”

Along with its new album, Slipknot will appear in “evolved” masks and uniforms, which Taylor describes as “not just a costume — it’s a way of life.” The vocalist declined to give specifics, but says the freshened outfits are “very dark and will fit in everything image-wise that we’re making with this album.”

I’m looking forward to it. I like Corey’s screams but I like it when he sings as well. I think that’s why I like Stone Sour because it shows that Corey and actually sing pretty well.
