For months, Slipknot has teased information on their next album. Singer Corey Taylor told Sirius XM’s Eddie Trunk: “It’s really killer, man. It’s darker than ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, but there’s a ton of melody. I’ve been telling everybody that it’s like a heavier version of ‘Vol. 3[: (The Subliminal Verses)]’. It’s got so many textures and layers. The heavy stuff has attack but the melodic stuff you can just sink your teeth in; there’s a lot of great melodies and hooks. I’m really, really excited for people to hear it.”

The band released the first single from the album, “The Chapeltown Rag,” late last year, and followed that with the record’s second single, “The Dying Song (Time to Sing),” on Tuesday. Slipknot also confirmed that the new album, “The End, So Far,” will be released on Sept. 30 via Roadrunner and is available for preorder. “New Music, new art, and new beginnings,” said M. “Clown” Crahan. “Get ready for the end.”  “The End, So Far,” was produced by Slipknot and Joe Barresi. Slipknot’s last album, 2019’s “We Are Not Your Kind,” was the band’s third straight No. 1 on the Billboard 200. 

Drummer Jay Weinberg commented on the album to Wisconsin’s WZOR radio station: “I would say we kind of turned up the dials on experimentation. And there’s some new things happening that are really exciting, really interesting, stuff that maybe I wouldn’t have even expected us to pull out of our hat. We’ve got a song that’s like the heaviest blues song on earth, and stuff like that that’s super exciting to hear what the guys are doing. Then, once we’re working on the instrumental for a while, then we get to hear what Corey brings to the table and how that elevates things and turns things into newer and better and whatever… It’s very exciting to hear that kind of taking shape. But, man, there’s so much in it that is trademark Slipknot. We’re not gonna get away from that; we can’t escape that even if we wanted to. There are certain things that are just touchstones of what we are, and I think we’re really happy with that. And the fact that we can try to find new ways of presenting those elements — the loud, the fast, the abrasive, the discordant, all that is there for sure.”

“We wanna push ourselves, and the only way you’re gonna push yourself is to change it up, make yourself uncomfortable in situations so you can become comfortable in those situations,” he continued. “And so I think pushing what we do to the extreme — you wanna kind of level up, for lack of a better term, each time you kind of go back to the drawing table.”
