Back around 2008, Slipknot recorded their “All Hope Is Gone” album but also tracked an entirely separate record that has become part of the band’s lore. “Look Outside Your Window” has been described by frontman Corey Taylor as having more of a “rock vibe,” and it now appears that the previously unreleased album is about to drop.
In a new interview with NME, Shawn “Clown” Crahan confirmed that the record’s release is one step closer. “I did say it was going to be in 2024, and I gave it the best fight that I could to make it this year,” Crahan said. “What I can tell you is that I showed Corey the final artwork two days ago. It is happening, but unfortunately, because of Christmas and New Year and the way business works, I can’t slide it in this year. But you have my word, it’s out of my hands now. It’s being moved on, the money has been spent and there is a plan. The management has it and it is coming out.”
Crahan continued: “I’m really pleased about it and happy to finally be rid of it! What’s nice though is that it isn’t a hype thing, it’s just something we did while we were doing other Slipknot albums. It was a very honest action to make music that wasn’t Slipknot, but utilized the skills of guys with no rules. I don’t know if it’s ‘good’, but I know that I love it. I make music for myself, but I hope that the people who waited and waited and waited think it was worth it too.”
