Slipknot’s Clown has shared an update on the band’s long-awaited ‘lost’ album, ‘Look Outside Your Window’ – confirming that it is now out of his hands and with management for the final steps.The record was recorded by the founding member and percussionist – real name Shawn Crahan – alongside Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson and Jim Root at the same time as they were working on 2008’s ‘All Hope Is Gone’.Hopes of it being shared have gone unfulfilled in recent years and, to date, only one track from the sessions has been released: ‘All Hope Is Gone’ bonus track ‘Til We Die’.Now, Crahan has spoken to NME in a new interview, and confirmed that the release is completely finished and on the cusp of being officially released.Reflecting on comments he made in a separate NME interview in 2023 – in which he assured us the release would be coming this year – the metal icon said: “I did say it was going to be in 2024, and I gave it the best fight that I could to make it this year.”As for where the release is up to now, he added: “What I can tell you is that I showed Corey the final artwork two days ago.

It is happening, but unfortunately, because of Christmas and New Year and the way business works, I can’t slide it in this year.“But you have my word, it’s out of my hands now.

It’s being moved on, the money has been spent and there is a plan. The management has it and it is coming out.”Crahan continued: “I’m really pleased about it and happy to finally be rid of it.

What’s nice though is that it isn’t a hype thing, it’s just something we did while we were doing other Slipknot albums. It was a very honest action to make music that wasn’t Slipknot, but utilised the skills of guys with no rules.“I don’t know if it’s ‘good’, but I know that I.
