During a recent interview with Kerrang!, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan talked a bit about the band’s new album and his new masks. In addition to revealing that his wife “doesn’t like the new masks,” he also claimed the upcoming record is going to be “biblical.”
Clown said the following about his masks:
“I posted a photo on Instagram of my children, but they had garbage bags over their heads so you couldn’t see them. They’re doing good – they’ve had their hair sewn on now, and both hair is the same, which is interesting.
My wife doesn’t like the new masks – I’ll just let the whole world know that. She’s not feeling it at all (laughs). But when I sewed the hair on, she liked it better.”
He went on to talk about his wife’s thoughts on Slipknot:
“Everybody is just brainwashed to go, ‘Hey, I want OG Clown! Hey, I want the red coveralls!’ Arghhhhhh! I grow up. I’m a year older every year, so fuck it. It changes.
My wife is like everybody else and likes the brilliant idea of 1998 Slipknot: in your face, fuck you, middle finger pressed up against your forehead, ‘We are the ’Knot, we do what we want when we want.’
She’s stuck in that. I get it all day: ‘You gonna wear the red coveralls?’ ‘I don’t know, I have no idea!’”
He also added the following about the band’s new album:
“…I can only speak for myself, but let me tell you, this one’s biblical. This is the oldest tale of all. Is there any specific one thing? No, because Slipknot is a unit and a group effort that projects ideas.
I can only speak for myself, but just look at what’s already out, and apply it to the statement, ‘We are not your kind.’ And if you don’t like me, then just get away from me. Get the fuck away, or I’ll make you get the fuck away.”
As previously reported, the group are currently counting down to a Monday announcement via wearenotyourkind.com. It is expected to be related to their rumored tour with Volbeat, Behemoth and Gojira and their new album, which is rumored to be released on August 9. The band also posted a another teaser earlier today:
