To mark the return of the mighty SLIPKNOT, next week's Kerrang! magazine — out Wednesday, July 23 — will feature not one but nine individual covers!
SLIPKNOT is only the third band in Kerrang!'s 27-year history to be honored in this way, joining KISS and MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE.
In the latest issue of UK's Kerrang! magazine which went on sale today (Wednesday, July 16), SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor gives an insight into the band's upcoming, fourth studio album, "All Hope Is Gone", with a world-exclusive track by track report.
"Our new album is gonna shock the **** out of people," Taylor told Kerrang! "I'm so ****ing excited about it!"
The follow-up to 2004's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" was recorded at Sound Farm Studios in the band's home state of Iowa with producer Dave Fortman (EVANESCENCE, SIMPLE PLAN, MUDVAYNE).
"We just wanted to make something fresh and exciting," Taylor stated. "And after all the **** that we've been through in the last three years, it was time to take the gloves off again!"
For the full lowdown be sure to pick up a copy of this week's Kerrang! to see Taylor let rip on religion ("It all comes down to the fact that we have to save ourselves."), George W. Bush ("It's a dressing down of any civilization that takes themselves too seriously and where the 'leaders' are so pretentious that they think they are deemed to speak for the people.") and emo ("It wouldn't be a SLIPKNOT album if I didn't rag on the recording industry. This time, it's about all those little emo boys with their sweet haircuts.").
