On July 1, Slipknot, the Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum nine man hard rock enigma, will unveil its new imagery in an exclusive partnership with AOL Music, the web’s most trafficked online music destination. This highly anticipated debut kicks-starts the launch of Slipknot’s new album, All Hope Is Gone, which is set for release on Roadrunner Records on August 26th. Masks are an integral part of the band’s identity and to reflect this point, AOL Music’s Spinner.com will host a retrospective photo gallery of Slipknot masks throughout their career, spanning all three previous albums and including the most recent controversial ‘Purgatory Masks’. The Slipknot mask unveiling will be featured on the main page of Spinner.com worldwide for 24 hours.
The latest masks are creepier and more intricate than ever — some evoking the chilling countenance of film horror figures like Hannibal Lecter and Pinhead. Not kidding. So feast your eyes on the new collection, then take a trip back in time with pics of every mask worn by the band throughout its career.
Superbly photographed by the ever-amazing P.R. Brown the new masks looks positively amazing. Much more intricate than previous versions and hopefully, (fingers crossed) - the new music can match up to the image.
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?
