During a recent interview with Billboard, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan offered some more insight into the band’s new album, which they are working on with co-producer Greg Fidelman. According to him, the group have “a plethora of songs, all demoed” for it and that it may be released around their summer tour. He also talked a bit about the concept:
“What I can tell you is I’ve known all the words all the time, so I’ve been able to paint the dream world and the nightmare in my mind.”
“[The album] breaks down to…good vs. evil, or in this sense, evil vs. good. It’s about being a human being and experiencing what you have in correlating it to this world. This world is ugly and it’s supposed to be, and it has to be in order for art to lead to grandness and beauty.”
