Slipknot announce new album ‘We Are Not Your Kind’

SLIPKNOT have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, titled We Are Not Your Kind, is the eagerly awaited sixth album from the masked metallers and is scheduled to be released in August this year!

The upcoming album was produced by the band and Greg Fidelman and speaking about the album, guitarist Jim Root says, “this is the most time we’ve had to write a record, and work stuff out together. One of my inspirations this time around was those artists that recorded full length albums – not just songs. While the industry is moving toward singles, SLIPKNOT wanted to make an album experience, front to back.” M. Shawn Crahan adds, “these days the art we are making comes with the highest reward, because it’s taken the most time. Almost four years to create this emotion and temperature, and the reward now is nothing short of salvation.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song from the upcoming album; titled Unsainted. The new music video was directed by the band’s own M. Shawn Crahan.
