Slipknot Announce All Hope Is Gone 10th Anniversary Re-Release
“The fans need to see this…”
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their fourth album, All Hope Is Gone, Slipknot will be re-releasing the record as a special package.
Speaking to The Des Moines Register, percussionist Shawn 'Clown' Crahan confirmed the news – first by complaining about 'corporate' anniversary releases: “I’m in a band and I can’t stand that,” he says. “But now, I’m like ‘wow.’ For instance, I’m working for All Hope Is Gone, and what I’m doing is I’m using the stuff I would’ve never approved. Now I can look at it and go, ‘Wow. The fans need to see this.’”
Clown also hinted that a 20th-anniversary release next year of the band's self-titled album could be a possibility, too. Exciting!
Let's stick this on and get pumped then, eh?
The ’Knot are also currently hard at work on their new album; frontman Corey Taylor recently stopped by K! HQ to tell us the following:
“I have fantastic news. Some of you know, but I’ll just make it official right now: we are working on a new album. It’s only in the demo stages right now, however we have very serious, tentative plans – and I say that because the best way to make God laugh is to announce your plans out loud – to go into the studio at the beginning of next year and get this fucker going. We have 16 songs written right now, and they are fucking dangerous. I loved .5 [The Gray Chapter], but this album, to me, makes .5 look like nobody’s business. This is Iowa levels of heavy. And I have to go out and tour this shit at my age – I can feel those songs in my back! I am really, really excited about it, and I talk to the guys in Slipknot all the time. I talk to Clown either every day, or every other day. I’ve been talking to Jim, V-man, Jay, Mick, Craig, Chris, Sid. We’re all really, really, really excited about this stuff, and it’s coming together really fucking well. So be prepared for 2019 – which, weirdly, is the 20th anniversary of our first album. Shit’s about to get fucking real again! So take that as you will.”
