SLIPKNOT: First Glimpse At New Masks

Des Moines, Iowa-based metal giants SLIPKNOT have offered the first glimpse (sort of) at the new series of masks which the band will don on the upcoming Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival, set to kick off July 9 at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle.
Check out the new "shadowy" photo on the splash page of the band's official web site.
When
asked if the oversized, Easter Island–looking masks were in fact an
April Fools' Day joke, an unnamed executive at the band's record label,
Roadrunner Records, assured BLABBERMOUTH.NET that it is "100% real."
According to HMV.co.uk, Roadrunner Records has set an August 11 UK release date (one day later in the U.S.) for the much-anticipated new SLIPKNOT album. The as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2004's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" is being recorded with producer Dave Fortman, who has previously worked with MUDVAYNE and EVANESCENCE.
Joining SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED on the main stage of the first-ever Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival will be DRAGONFORCE and MASTODON. In addition, the tour will have two second stages: one sponsored by Jägermeister and featuring AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, 36 CRAZYFISTS and the Jägermeister Battle of The Bands Winner. An additional second stage will feature MACHINE HEAD, BLACK TIDE, SUICIDE SILENCE, THE RED CHORD, and WALLS OF JERICHO.
SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan recently told Revolver
magazine that the masked nine-piece from Iowa is coming from a
"different place" as it prepares to record its fourth major label
album. When asked what has changed since "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)", Crahan replied, "I can't stress enough that we're going into this from a different place. When we did (2001 album) 'Iowa', we hated each other. We hated the world; the world hated us. The next record ('Vol. 3') was like rehabilitation. We had all this healing that needed to happen. Now, everything feels good because we feel good."
SLIPKNOT went on hiatus at the end of 2005, when it finished touring in support of "Vol. 3". Since then the band members have worked on various other projects, including a second album from singer Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root's STONE SOUR.
Crahan
said, "These breaks that we take, they get our appetites going. They
let our brains slow down and then speed up again. We gotta decompress
for a little bit just to feel human if we're going to be forced to be
here in this reality."

| Christos... the latest news really really fucking sucks... and... I don't think I'm going to like the masks too much either.... |
| by todd @ 12 Apr 2008 02:25 pm |
| Fuck yopu turd shits! Who cares about the fucking masks? You guys are the fucking shits that make retards look smart! You have to look at the band in an artistic manner! Oh and Gravy shut the fuck up!! You are the worst here, stupid turd! The band does not have to wear the masks they are cool with or without them. It's about the music! |
| by todd @ 12 Apr 2008 02:28 pm |
| im a turd myself |
| by todd @ 12 Apr 2008 06:59 pm |
hey, you guys. using others names isnt cool. common, lets not fight, bring out the love.
im a barbie girl, in a barbie world, la la la la, hmm hmm hmm |

| it doesnt matter to me if they got masks. aslong as they create good music like they have been, it's all good. |
| by Maggotman @ 12 Apr 2008 09:29 pm |
Amen to that, Brother!!!!
why do you think i was insulting Gravy?  |
| by Luke. @ 13 Apr 2008 09:31 pm |
| it's not their on stage masks. look at the size. Do you honestly think they could preform being that top heavy? The new Mick Thomson mask looks pretty awesome. |
| by gravy @ 14 Apr 2008 09:04 am |
| wow u guys are even more stupid than the average slipknot fan |
| by gravy @ 14 Apr 2008 10:49 am |
| including me! im stupid myself |
| by LINK_180 @ 14 Apr 2008 11:05 am |
| You guys do realise that there's no way Corey could sing in a fucking Easter Island mask without a mouth hole and everyone would have dificulties headbanging with a 10 lbs. slab of material on their face. It's just illogical, these aren't the new masks. |
| by maggot136 @ 14 Apr 2008 03:01 pm |
| ^i'm thinking those pics might be a sort of bobblehead style of their faces without masks. idk, i've been finding rumors that they might not have masks this time.... im still indifferent on that thought though |
| by Nathalia @ 14 Apr 2008 05:39 pm |
| Well, whatever their new masks look like, or if they have new masks at all, or no masks at all, the music's bound to be good, and that's really what matters. |
| by schauek847 @ 14 Apr 2008 06:01 pm |
| i agree |
| by gravy @ 15 Apr 2008 09:36 am |
| u guys are so stupid, all u guys talk abou tis the stupid masks that they stole from mushroomhead, so get over the masks. and for corey maybe its best that he cant sing wit his new mask because he cannot sing at all |
| by gravy @ 15 Apr 2008 11:03 am |
im stupid myself and dont know anything about slipknot  |
| by Maggotman @ 15 Apr 2008 01:46 pm |
then why not you go you ass
jeez... i only came on once i heard practicly everything from these guys... they ARE my friken idol... and i idolize joey so much because i myself is a drummer and he's the best friken drummer that i've heard in YEARS!
So seriously gravy... shut up |
| by gravy @ 15 Apr 2008 02:48 pm |
| ok ok i will, sorry |
| by LINK_180 @ 15 Apr 2008 08:20 pm |
| Well I would make a comment about how Mushroomhead needs two singers just to make up for their lack of talent but Oh, Ya... I forgot they have a trouble holding on to their members. Maybe "J Mann," "Bronson," and the rest have realised that they should do something better with their lives, like anal sex. Oh well, at least the Slipknot members had the balls to use their real names when presenting their music instead of sucking on a Pig Benis I mean a Big Penis. (Remember; grammer, punctuation, AND spelling count) |
| by gravy @ 16 Apr 2008 11:09 am |
| i like how maggotman is stealing my name to make himself seem cooler, wow that is sorry.and link 180 slipknot has had more members in their group than mushroomhead, they go by numbers not their names, and slipknot has 2 singers two corey and chris. and atleast mushroomhead only needs one person to play the drumms. i told u guys i no more about slipknot than all u guys. so link u really are not a SK fan and i just proved it |
| by Maggotman @ 16 Apr 2008 01:38 pm |
wtf
HONESTY over BEING AND ASSHOLE gravy
i WOULD HAVE posted it right after, but instead i went and did something with my life, unlike you...
have some pride and face the truth |
| by Maggotman @ 16 Apr 2008 01:40 pm |
| I also don't need to copy peoples names to be cool, you dibshit |
