The maggots should all get ready as Slipknot’s website Slipknot1 as well as their Facebook have been showing a small trailer, with odd noises and some weird imagery, which wouldn’t look too out of place in Iowa era Slipknot slowly showing that Slipknot are ready to release their far too long awaited album via Roadrunner at the end of the year. Keeping their cards very close to their chest but drip feeding their audience to make everyone excited. It will be interesting to see where Slipknot are to go with this new album, after having the death of the bassist Paul Gray in 2010 as well as the departure of Joey Jordison, will it see a difference in their sound, perhaps even in their image? Both members that are no longer in the band had very big roles in the songwriting of the previous Slipknot metalheads have come to know and love.

Whatever your opinion of the Iowa troupe it is undeniable that they truly have changed metal and that this new release will definitely be one of the most anticipated records of the year.
