Many fans would prefer Slipknot’s sixth studio album to go back to the band’s raw, brutal sound, and the singer says going back to the roots is in fact his intention. However, Slipknot aren’t planning to record the material for the next record for at least two years, as Taylor is currently preparing to release Stone Sour’s new album, Hydrograd, due June 30:

Everybody’s kind of doing their own thing right now. So we’re just kind of letting ourselves have some time away, which is cool. Sometimes you just have to do that—sometimes you have to go away and let people miss you.”[/quote]
Slipknot recently wrapped up touring for their latest album, 2014’s .5: The Gray Chapter, and released an interactive live video for Iowa deep cut “The Shape.”
Taylor’s name has been a frequent fixture in the music press as of late, as he’s seemingly been busy refuting the claims of Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger and Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington. The Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman also made a revelatory appearance on a recent episode of Viceland’s The Therapist.
