During a recent interview with NME, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan offered an update on the band’s new music plans. The band are tentatively planning to work together later this month.
Clown said the following:
“We’re doing the biggest thing we can do right now, which is taking a much-needed break. We’re taking some real human time. Everybody is writing all the time, but we have not got into a place to work on what’s been written.”
He continued:
“It feels very positive and everyone is looking forward to getting back at it.”
Notably, Clown is also working on material that may be used for his “Minecraft” project “Vernearth.” He added the following about that:
“I’m in the studio almost every week making music without any of the usual pressures or expectations, which is very fulfilling. I’ve also gotten back into drums in a big way to make sure I’m ready for what’s up next [with Slipknot]. I’m really trying to take things to that next level. Music is dead important to gaming.”
