Slipknot are well and truly back - announcing details of their brand new album, a US tour and unveiling the single 'The Devil In I'. Check it out below.
The band's new album appears to be a tribute to late bassist, Paul Gray. Titled '.5: The Gray Chatper', the band's first record since his death and the departure of drummer Joey Jordison will be released on 20 October.
"We've been waiting a long time for this," said the band's frontman Corey Taylor in a statement. "Not only do we get to tour with friends who we respect, we've also chosen a band that represents the fury of the future."
As well as being a shredding and towering wall of metal, the track also carries the 'Knot's knack for a good hard-rock melody - coming together to combine all of their best elements.
Unveiling the emotive and thundering new track 'The Devil In I', the bad unveiled the message: "Undo these chains, my friend. I’ll show you the rage I’ve hidden. Perish the Sacrament. Swallow, but nothing’s forgiven. You and I can’t decide which of us was taken for granted. Make amends… some of us are destined to be outlived."
