Slipknot's Jim Root is warning fans that the band's next album won't sound like their past records.
Replying to fan comments on his Instagram, Root wrote that the most important thing for Slipknot right now is to not "repeat" themselves. "It's gonna hurt some feelings. We're really experimenting with different approaches… don't expect another 'Iowa' or 'self-titled' record. We've been there."
He said the band tracked live on the floor with drummer Eloy Casagrande, everything analog, and that out of 16 amps they went with "the most pissed off sounding one." Root also called 2022's "The End, So Far" "disjointed and a mess," and said he'll be in the studio for the rest of the year. Slipknot announced their 2027 (sic)est Stadium Tour today.
