Slipknot have yet to fully begin the collaborative writing process for their next studio album. Percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan recently told NME that the band are currently on a break following a touring cycle that supported 2022’s The End, So Far and celebrated the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut.
Crahan shared the following:
We’re doing the biggest thing we can do right now, which is taking a much-needed break. We’re taking some real human time. Everybody is writing all the time, but we have not got into a place to work on what’s been written.
Crahan noted that tentative plans are in place for the group to reconvene in the studio later this month to begin assembling new material, adding, “It feels very positive and everyone is looking forward to getting back at it.”
The band’s eventual eighth studio album will mark the start of a new chapter, as The End, So Far concluded Slipknot’s long-running relationship with Roadrunner Records.
Crahan added:
I’m in the studio almost every week making music without any of the usual pressures or expectations, which is very fulfilling. I’ve also gotten back into drums in a big way to make sure I’m ready for what’s up next. I’m really trying to take things to that next level. Music is dead important to gaming.
