Over the last four weeks or so, Corey Taylor and Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan have both talked about what’s in store for Slipknot next year, including that they are working on new music. Taylor even suggested the band might release a new album in 2021.
During an interview with radio station WSOU, Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg was asked about new music. You can read what he told the radio station in regards to new music below:
“The short answer is that, yeah, I can’t talk about it. But it’s been said before, and I have no problem reiterating it, is that we’re all creative people, and when you have creative people like Slipknot has, downtime is not a thought; it doesn’t exist. So when we need time to recharge, we recharge. And there’s a saying in Slipknot that ‘off is off.’ So we kind of respect that when off is off, off is off, and that means I’m not gonna answer your phone calls, I’m not gonna answer your text messages. Off is off.
But there comes a certain point where that creative beast, I think, within all of us, it wakes up after a certain point. I’m, like, ‘Okay, I’ve been off tour a certain amount of time. I’m really feeling the itch to get creative.’ And we all have that instinct. So it’s been noted. Things have occurred. But nothing that I’ll divulge other than I think we’re all very excited to have time to focus on our creativity. So we’ll see what comes of it. But I think we’re all really excited with taking advantage of what we can our downtime year.”
