Slipknot’s M Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has revealed the band have spent some of their downtime during the pandemic working on new music.
Talking about the band’s recent activities in a video* which premiered on Slipknot’s YouTube channel yesterday, Crahan had this to say:
“Right now is kind of an interesting time. We’re taking this time to write some new music. So for the last week, we’ve been just having a good time, eating a lot of food and writing God music. So we’re having a good time.
Since everybody [has] taken a lot of time off, we thought we’d utilize it by getting together and do what we probably do best, which is write music. So it’s been good, because there’s no pressure. It’s not like we have to. We’re doing it [because] we want to. And it’s just been a blessing, because boredom can set it. And I know all of us in the world are going crazy, so we’re really lucky to be able to be together and do what we love most.”
*FYI: The band were signing bottles of their No. 9 Iowa Whiskey in the video, which you can watch above.
