Slipknot last released new music with their 2022 album, “The End, So Far.” In a recent interview with Guitar Interactive, guitarist Jim Root provided an update on where things stand with the band and the follow-up. When asked if Slipknot had been working recently on new tunes, Root said: “Not diligently. Honestly, we’ve been touring so much since Eloy Casagrande joined the band that my inspiration is nearly zero.”
Root continued: “And there’s a bunch of music that was written during COVID that I’m not interested in. And I think everybody else in the band gets it too, and I think they’re kind of, like, ‘Okay, we need to just kind of, like, maybe sweep all that sh*t under a rug and start fresh.’ I wanna get touring behind us. I wanna have at least a month off just to shut my brain off and sleep and all that kind of stuff. And then when I find myself going out to my little home studio and putting riffs together, then I’ll know it’s time to start.”
