SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor made a recent appearance on horror icon Doug Bradley’s “Down To Hell”, where he was asked if there was a “hard release date” yet for the band’s upcoming studio album.
Speaking on the status of the follow-up to 2019’s “We Are Not Your Kind” release, Corey responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We don’t have a hard date yet ’cause we’re lazy and we’re still mixing the damn thing. I can tell you it’s completely recorded and we’re about halfway through mixing it. So, to me, I would say probably two or three months [from now]. That’s my ballpark. I’m hoping; I’m gonna push to get it out then — maybe summertime sometime.”
In January, SLIPKNOT announced the 2022 incarnation of their infamous “Knotfest Roadshow” tour. The trek will take place over two legs, both headlined by SLIPKNOT and will feature IN THIS MOMENT and WAGE WAR as support. The second leg of the tour will feature CYPRESS HILL and HO99O9.
The first leg of the 38-date tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off in Fargo, North Dakota on Wednesday, March 16 and runs strait through until a date in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Sunday, April 17. The second leg kicks off on Wednesday, May 18 in University Park, Pennsylvania and wraps up on Sunday, June 18 in Chula Vista, California.
