In a new interview with Rocksvergie.se, Corey Taylor discussed Slipknot’s future plans, and said the band will probably take few years off, following their current album cycle. This news comes after Clown and Jim Root both said new Slipknot material could come as early as the beginning part of 2017.
Taylor said the following (transcribed by Blabbermouth):
“Well, I mean, we’re gonna finish touring and then we’re gonna take a couple of years off again to, kind of, let everything chill. I’m gonna go do my thing, everybody else’s gonna go, kind of, do their thing. I know Clown‘s got movies that he wants to make, which is very cool. He just wrapped his first feature a couple of months ago, which I’m pretty stoked for him about. So everybody is gonna, kind of, do their thing, and then, in a couple of years, we’ll get back together and see what happens again. Kind of what we used to do… Before we lost Paul, that’s what we would do: we would go for a while and then we would get back together after a couple of years and say, like, ‘All right. What have we got now?’ So I think that’s what we’re gonna do.”
