Corey Taylor initially announced in 2023 that Slipknot’s album Look Outside Your Window would finally see the light of day this year. The tracks were recorded years ago during the sessions for All Hope Is Gone, which came out in 2008. However, delays have continued to push the album back, including this year.
But now, Shawn “Clown” Crahan seems to be making good on his word that the album is truly on the road to release. In an interview with NME, he shared:
"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. 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.
"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."
While we still don’t have a release date for Look Outside Your Window, the excitement is building once again. Perhaps we’ll get to see the artwork soon? 2025 is shaping up to be another big year for Slipknot!
