Puscifer have shared a new cover of Low’s “Congregation.” You can check that out below. Frontman Maynard James Keenan commented:
“All the madness going on in Minneapolis sent me down a @lowtheband rabbit hole. Missing Mimi Parker. Carina suggested maybe we cover a song in her and their honor. Merchants of Emotion is in our job description. ‘Discovering New and Awful Ways to Treat Each Other’ wasn’t on my Bingo card for 2026, but here we are. #worldwartres #civilwardeux #smalldickenergy”
Back in 2008, Slipknot’s M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Corey Taylor, Jim Root, and Sid Wilson recorded an album under the name Look Outside Your Window amid the “All Hope Is Gone“ sessions. Now, it has been confirmed that the effort will receive a vinyl release on Record Store Day (April 18).
“Look Outside Your Window” Track Listing:
01. “11th March“
02. “Moth“
03. “Dirge“
04. “Christina“
05. “Is Real“
06. “Away“
07. “In Reverse“
08. “Toad“
09. “Juliette“
10. “U Can’t Stop This“
The group commented:
“We knew we were heading down a different creative path, entirely apart from Slipknot, and we followed it eagerly. We called the project Look Outside Your Window as a tribute to this experimental spirit.
Created during a chaotic time in our shared history, the songs were born late at night, in a house on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Peering out through a big picture window, we wondered about what, or who, might be lurking outside. That sense of the unknown seeped into the music itself. There were no rules; ideas could come from anywhere: subtle drum loops, bits of organ or abstract guitar noise, even samples of frogs or crickets. Guided by emotion and instinct, we let the sounds themselves point the way.”
Here’s a product description:
“Look Outside Your Window is Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan, who in the downtime during recording sessions for Slipknot‘s 2008 album ‘All Hope Is Gone,’ began to freely create songs for themselves, exploring new directions with no outside expectations. Over the years, the existence of this project has seen coverage in outlets including Vice, Revolver, NME, Kerrang!, and countless others, and the fans have only grown louder in their demand to hear this album.
Now over 15 years later, the fans will finally get to experience it for themselves. Splatter vinyl with a die-cut jacket, purple foil on the front of the jacket, purple flood inside the jacket, and embossed text on the back of the jacket.”
As previously reported, Furnace Fest was recently sold as part of a deal to clear its past debts. However, a former festival partner, Mike Ziemer, has since taken to social media to condemn the decision.
Ziemer said the following:
“Myself and Ryan Luther were lied to, gaslit, and left off the team after 2024, the year we were told was the last year.
Ryan and I handled all booking for 2021-2024, I ran all marketing and paid ads for 2021-2024 along with media team and many other tasks, and between us we did most of the on-site coordination. Also, the ticketing company and most major sponsors were my relationships. The remaining two partners got greedy and felt they could do it without us in 2025 despite telling us over and over the fest couldn’t sustain a profit outside of year 1 and 2.
I kept my mouth shut because I was promised a buy out that never came. Another lie. Ryan and I’s buyouts are not included in the bankruptcy and we are just shit out of luck for everything we built and get to watch it all go down in flames.
So much for caring about brotherhood and community, just another shining example of Christian hypocrisy that turns so many people away from religion.
I promise that this will never be the Furnace Fest you all know and love without myself and Ryan being a part of it. It took 4 of us to make this what was so special, but only 2 people to destroy it.
I have a lot more to say… but that’s for later.”
He also added:
“Now that I have finally been able to speak my peace on that other festival, I am ready to fully move forward and return my focus to putting together a dream team of partners for So What?! Music Festival to make a return [tentatively] in 2027.
I have full confidence that I will be able to bring the right people together to not only bring the festival back, but make sure it stays back for good.
Things are already happening behind the scenes, but if anyone else is interested in getting involved, speak now.
I know what the festival means to so many people around the world and I’m ready to relaunch it, even it we scale it down first to build it back up.”

mclusky have announced a new mini-album titled “i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley.” The effort will receive a digital release on March 20 and a vinyl release on May 1. A video for the first single, “i know computer,” can be found below:
“i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley” Track Listing:
01. “i know computer”
02. “as a dad”
03. “spock culture”
04. “hi! we’re on strike”
05. “fan learning difficulties”
06. “that was my brain on elves”
Frontman Andrew “Falco” Falkous commented:
“content. It drives the modern music world. photos. opinions. more photos. more opinions (please note – not all photo and are options are bad, just 99 percent of them). how about – and indulge me here – music? that content-y enough for you? fact is we can’t stop writing, at least at the moment. it’s fun (that’s all it needs to be). it’s the common denominator of band. only death will slow us down (note – it won’t stop us).
the idea for this release starts as a bit of a stop-gap – a thing with which to help promote the north american tour – and ended up as something else entirely. ‘i know computer’ and ‘as a dad’ are new and are singles (they may make the next album, who can say, it’s already half-recorded and you will like it). damien probably likes ‘I am computer’ a bit too much but that’s okay, the heart wants what the heart wants.
‘spock culture’ and ‘hi! we’re on strike’ were recorded during the the world is still here… why didn’t they make the album? I’m not sure. Lyrically they are important historical documents. Up there with the ‘pusheen the cat’ books and/or the u.s. constitution.
‘fan learning difficulties’ and ‘that was my brain on elves’ have only had a digital release before and are, to quote british children from forty years ago, ‘skill.’ hopefully you can agree that i, and by osmosis, all of us – have read a lot of books.”
