The time has come… new Slipknot album details are beginning to emerge. There’s a title, release date and first single details slowing permeating the ‘net. After many rumours, it has been officially announced that Slipknot will name their brand new album ‘All Hope Is Gone’. The album is scheduled to be released on August 25th (the day after their UK Reading Festival performance) and will be preceded by a single called ‘Psychosocial’ which will be available to download from next Monday, June 30th.
According to Corey Taylor: “Every album we have made is a statement about that space in time. I think this era is the most mature, most beautiful and the most powerful. We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men. I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.”
The band’s official website has been a hive of activity of late. The band has been posting these eerie photos of themselves in very, very ‘Easter Island’ type of masks. No idea if we are in for such a radical image change but I guess, all will be revealed in due course.
If the new album can be half as good as 2004’s ‘Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses’ then we are in for a real treat as personally, I found that to be an amazing album. But as far as the leaked track goes… here’s hoping the rest will be somewhat better hey?
