During an interview with Rock Sound, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan discussed the band’s new album. The percussionist says he “[doesn’t] think people are ready for what [they’ve] created.”
Clown said the following:
“Now, here we are at album eight, and I can promise you, album eight’s coming out. What I can say officially is we’ve written so many songs as of right now. We have so many songs that Corey [Taylor, vocals] has sung on for rough demos. We had not foreseen what has happened, which is effortless recording and fun.
Everyone in the band wants to jam and bring music. Eloy [Casagrande, drums] is forcefully feeding the machine, and when you do that with old dogs, they smile and just want to jam.
So technically, I guess we could have a ninth too. We could have a double album. I’m not telling you we’re doing that. I’m just telling you, number eight’s coming out. We’re off all the bullshit. No one’s telling us what to do anymore. We do exactly what we want. We always have, but now it’s so easy. We don’t have any resistance. I don’t think people are ready for what we’ve created because even we are saying we’ve gone to another level.
This new one is probably going to take people a little time because it’s long songs and definitely a musician’s album.”
