Slipknot bassist Alessandro “V-Man” Venturella shared a close-up of his new mask on social media. The mask seems to have been designed specifically for the band’s current 25th anniversary tour, as V-Man wore a different mask when the band played a handful of shows in the spring. The new mask is silver and has slits over the eyes and mouth instead of holes. According to V-Man’s social media post, the mask was designed by visual artist and sculptor Hedi Xandt. “I’ve been a massive fan of his work and thought it was time to go get him to make me a piece of his Art for @slipknot. Beyond stoked!” t...

Slipknot fans are sharing their thoughts online about the band’s current 25th anniversary tour setlist, which features them playing their 1999 self-titled record in its entirety.

Thus, fan-favorites from later in S...

Jay Weinberg shared that he’s been working with a therapist to process his split with Slipknot. The band parted ways with the drummer suddenly in November of 2023 following a performance at a festival in Mexico. The news came from an announcement on their social media. He’d been playing with the ‘Knot since 2014 and had been one of their biggest champions in interviews. In his own statement, which he shared a few days later, Weinberg admitted that he was “heartbroken and blindsided,” as he only learned about the band’s decision to part ways with him the morning they posted it on the internet. ...

Billed quite low were a brand new band from Iowa, who took their first major steps in changing metal forever.

Geezer Butler shared that he was a fan of Slipknot and some other younger metal bands in the ’90s. As a founding member and the primary lyricist for the band that is known for essentially creating heavy metal, it’s a big deal when Butler compliments a younger artist. The original Black Sabbath were the headliners of Ozzfest in 1999, and Butler was astute with the younger generations of heavy music who were also on the bill. “I was really into metal back then, and it was influencing the stuff I was writing as well,” Butler told Knotfest. “It was amazing to see what new bands were coming out the...

Shawn “Clown” Crahan said there are two big reasons Slipknot haven’t shared Look Outside Your Window yet. The percussionist recently appeared on the show Andy Hall’s Accessfor an interview, and was once again asked about the unreleased album, which was recorded sometime during the All Hope Is Gone sessions. The record was initially supposed to see the light of day in late 2019, but has been pushed back multiple times since. Clown promised that it would come out sometime in 2024 — but now we’re more than halfway through the year, and don’t have any further details about it. “The only reason it’...

In a new interview with some of the members of Slipknot, Corey Taylor discussed the theories about their new mystery member.

The mystery member made his first appearance with the band last summer. During a conversation with Revolver, Taylor shared why Slipknot chose to reveal Casagrande’s identity and whether the theories about the new member are correct.
