Slipknot are working on some new, ‘very heavy’ material according to frontman Corey Taylor.
Slipknot returned last year with compilation album ‘Antennas to Hell’, their first release since the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010.
The band headlined Download Festival earlier this year and are now hard at work demoing new material for the follow-up to 'All Hope Is Gone'. Asked about their next album by Eric Blair at the Bass Player LIVE! Concert & Awards Show this weekend, Taylor said:
“We're just getting demos together right now, and [we're] hoping to get into the studio in the summer next year. So very soon we're gonna start having stuff to get out to the people. It's very heavy. I mean, just based on the stuff that I've been demoing and the stuff that I've been working with [drummer] Joey [Jordison] on, it is, like… Honestly, it's like [2004's] 'Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)' meets [2001's] 'Iowa'.
“It's really dark, but there's some really good esoteric stuff to it, a lot of good melody without taking away from the heaviness. It's gonna be pretty rad.”
