Jim Root, guitarist of Slipknot, has stated that the band's upcoming album will not 'repeat ourselves' and will 'hurt some feelings' among fans. Root shared these comments following an Instagram post about his guitar pedalboard, indicating the band is preparing to become 'very busy' with new material. Root emphasized the importance of not repeating past musical styles, specifically mentioning that the new album will not sound like their earlier works such as 'Iowa' or 'self titled'. He described the current creative process as 'uneasy' and reminiscent of their early recording days, with a focus on analog recording techniques and minimal production. Root was critical of Slipknot's 2022 album 'The End, So Far', calling it 'disjointed and a mess', attributing this to the challenges of recording during the pandemic and global circumstances. The band has also announced their '(sic)est Stadium Tour' for 2027, featuring support from Marilyn Manson, Bring Me The Horizon, and others. This announcement has sparked controversy, particularly regarding Manson's inclusion due to allegations against him, with many fans expressing their disapproval on social media. Despite the backlash, some fans have welcomed Manson's involvement, citing a 'huge fanbase overlap' between the two acts. Root's comments highlight the band's commitment to evolving their sound while acknowledging the challenges of their recent creative process. The tour, set to kick off in 2027, will include a notable UK and European show at London's Wembley Stadium on July 3, 2027, with tickets going on sale on October 2, 2026. The band's approach to the new album, focusing on raw, analog recording and avoiding overproduction, suggests a return to their roots while still innovating. Root's critique of their previous work indicates a desire to move beyond the 'overproduced' sound of later albums, aiming for a more authentic and 'honest' musical expression. This shift in creative direction aligns with their announcement of the new tour, which aims to bring their music to a wider audience while maintaining their signature style.
