Slipknot’s Clown has shared a photo of a grizzly new mask that the band’s hardcore fans think has never appeared on stage before.The percussionist and founding member of the band, real name Shawn Crahan, posted the photograph on his own Instagram account, with the caption: “I swore I wouldn’t let this happen”.The fleshy, gory mask has, according to some hardcore fans, only been seen before in the Knotfest Museum, although it does closely resemble one worn by Crahan on a 1999 tour.See the mask below:A post shared by Michael Shawn Crahan (@mshawncrahan)Earlier this month, the band’s original frontman Anders Colsefni said that a new re-recording of the 1996 demo tape ‘Mate.

Feed. Kill, Repeat.’ that was uploaded onto YouTube was shared without his consent.Colsefni said that he now intended to cancel an upcoming tour where he was due to play the whole of the reworked version of the record, in order to focus his efforts on the re-recording.“I hope you will trust me to do this properly and make you and the die-hard, old school Slipknot fans proud,” he said. “Then, we will look to put this tour together again, beginning where it began, and spreading as far as you want it to.”The new recording is stated as being dedicated to late Slipknot members Joey Jordison and Paul Gray.
