## Summary

Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan says the band’s eighth album is on the way and has been shaped by an unusually relaxed, productive recording process. He describes the material as a step forward for the band, with long songs and an experimental, musician-focused sound.

The follow-up to 2022’s *The End, So Far* has not been given a release date. Crahan says the band has written many songs, including rough demos with Corey Taylor’s vocals, and that new drummer Eloy Casagrande has helped spur the group to keep jamming. He floated the possibility of enough material for a ninth album or a double album, but stressed neither was confirmed.
