Slipknot will be reuniting in 2008 with a new studio album. It will be the band's first studio release since 2004's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), making it their 4th studio album as well as the first musical output from the band since Corey Taylor and Jim Root's mainstream success with Stone Sour, Joey Jordison's stint with KoЯn, King ov Hell and Ministry, and Shawn Crahan's side project Dirty Little Rabbits.

Preparation for the album has been noted to have started in October 2007, recording is due to begin in January 2008 and they are aiming for a Spring release preceded possibly by a live tour.

For this release, the band has displayed interest in making it their heaviest album to date, and will include an expansion on the thrash metal riffing that was displayed on Volume 3, as well as more guitar solos. However, they also want to make it their most experimental record, and will be including more acoustic guitars and melodic vocals. During an interview in the February 2008 edition of Revolver, percussionist Crahan expressed a willingness for him and fellow percussionist Chris Fehn to experiment with hi-hats and cymbals which has been absent in the additional percussion in any previous work.[6]
“Oh, I’ve got an absolute ton of stuff, man, I got three notebooks of ideas from the past year and a half alone. It’s so great, I think we’re gonna do something really different with this album. Different, but brutal” — Corey Taylor
“It's going to be heavy as fuck! It's going to be heavier than 'Vol. 3...' but just as weird and as experimental. We have a whole bunch of song titles, but nothing I wanna say right now.” — Joey Jordison

It was also rumoured that, due to the member's being unmasked in their side projects, that Slipknot was going to be recording and touring this album unmasked. However, these rumours have been dismissed by many band members, percussionist Shawn Crahan adressed this issue during an interview on The Sauce when discussing the release of their 2006 DVD release Voliminal: Inside the Nine.

During an interview in 2006, Corey Taylor expressed a somewhat negative response to their experience of working with producer Rick Rubin on Slipknot's 2004 studio album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), this being said a lot of the members including Corey Taylor are very pleased with the album. Ross Robinson produced Slipknot's first 2 albums Slipknot and Iowa and may be considered as producer. Since Vol. 3, some band members have produced several albums for other bands including; 3 Inches of Blood's Fire Up the Blades (Joey Jordison), Dirtfedd's upcoming album The American Nightmare (Shawn Crahan), Walls of Jericho's upcoming EP (Corey Taylor) and could quite possibly produce the album independently. As of yet, there has been no official release concerning who will produce this album.

Frech aus wikipedia geklaut.
