Slipknot’s Clown explains delay of “lost album” ‘Look Outside Your Window’

Slipknot‘s Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has spoken about the delay of the band’s “lost album” ‘Look Outside Your Window’.It was recorded by frontman Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, Jim Root and Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan at the same time as the group were working on 2008’s ‘All Hope Is Gone’.

At one point, Taylor tried to blend the two records into one, but the “super experimental, vibey” tracks didn’t gel. To date, only one track from the sessions has been released – ‘All Hope Is Gone’ bonus track ‘Til We Die’.The album has long been teased by its participating members, with frontman Corey Taylor teasing its release last year, once again stoking the flames.

Progress on the album has since picked up, with Clown now providing an update on the long-awaited record.Speaking to Vulture, the percussionist and overall band leader said of Slipknot’s unreleased material: “I don’t even know where to begin.

I mean, there’s audio, and then there’s video too. We have tons of incomplete concepts, some just under completion. There’s a lot of Slipknot I wish the culture could have.
