Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan has shared some details about the band’s upcoming release, ‘Look Outside Your Window.’ During an interview with Vulture, the rocker also revealed details about the ‘unexpected’ vocals of the frontman Corey Taylor.
“Someone recently brought up the album ‘Look Outside Your Window.’ It was a piece of art Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and myself created in 2008. We made it up the hill from the studio that we recorded ‘All Hope Is Gone’ in, in Perry, Iowa,” the rocker explained.
Since it’s an album from 16 years ago, ‘no one believes it exists anymore.’ “No one believes that it even exists or that it’s ever going to come out. I’ve always talked very highly of it and I’ve always said that you will never hear Corey Taylor sing like this.” Clown added, “It’s just a whole different approach in my mind. Recently, I approved all the art. I’ve also worked really hard to get it mixed and mastered.”
The album isn’t exactly new—it was written and recorded alongside 2008’s ‘All Hope Is Gone’ but stayed unreleased for years.
Earlier, Clown also named the two reasons why the album is being released just now. “The only reason it’s not been out is because A, it’s a timeliness album. It can be released 10 years ago, 10 years from now, today, and so on and so forth,” he reasoned.
“The main reason, and it sounds like BS but this is the truth, every time we’ve gotten it to a place where we were gonna pull the trigger, life has thrown the band through a circumstance of some sorts,” he added.
Fans still have to wait for a new release as the album still doesn’t have a certain release date.
