Slipknot To Finally Release Album Recorded In 2008
It’s been one heck of a long wait for Maggots, but that wait is almost over. Slipknot fans will finally get to hear "Look Outside Your Window," an album recorded during the sessions for 2008's "All Hope Is Gone." The 10-track project was made by Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson and Shawn "Clown" Crahan at a farmhouse while taking a break from the main album sessions. Crahan has called the music more experimental and psychedelic, comparing it to Radiohead. Taylor has said it sounds nothing like typical Slipknot. The album will be released on vinyl for Record Store Day on April 18th.
