Goddammit, I promise you, you will have new fucking Slipknot music very fucking soon.”Earlier this year Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson gave further insight into what fans could expect from the band’s next full-length effort, explaining that his “sound selection was a little more off-planet than normal” following an extensive period of touring.Drummer Jay Weinberg has also said that the band “turned up the dials on experimentation” while making their seventh album.Taylor also gave an update on the new album and its expected arrival date.
