This sounds like nothing I\u2019ve ever heard before, yet there\u2019s a familiarity to it that feels like I\u2019ve been listening to it my whole life.\u2019 And it\u2019s so organic. It\u2019s just Slipknot music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Root praised new Slipknot drummer Eloy Casagrande, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s Slipknot, so we\u2019re gonna have a sound, but at the same time, having Eloy in the band\u2026 Man, it\u2019s such an honor to be able to jam with that guy, and the way we\u2019re approaching this\u2026 Yeah, I can sit at my computer, and I can throw some drum loops up and start writing riffs and layer it, and that\u2019s great. And then I can give it to the band, and Corey [Taylor] can put lyrics on it and all that kind of stuff. And it has its place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say, \u201cBut the way we\u2019re approaching this, which is similar to the way it was being approached in the beginning as, like, garage-band sort of vibe. Now we\u2019re going to a church, we\u2019re setting up Eloy, I\u2019m setting up a guitar rig, and we\u2019re just jamming for, like, two hours. And then out of those two hours, we\u2019ll go back, and as we\u2019re playing, Clown will be in the room, and he\u2019s got headphones on, and he might start jamming with us, or he might just be listening to what we\u2019re doing. And he\u2019ll throw his arm up, or he\u2019ll hit the light, and that\u2019s a cue to our producer, like, \u2018That\u2019s a part.\u2019 In his mind, he\u2019s thinking, \u2018That\u2019s a chorus. That\u2019s an intro. That\u2019s a verse line. That\u2019s a bridge,\u2019 whatever part it may be. But then he\u2019ll look at us, and he\u2019ll be, like, \u201cStick with that.\u201d Or he\u2019ll be, like, \u2018That was cool. Move on. Go somewhere else with that.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Root later described the volume of material Slipknot had put together using that method of jamming and grabbing parts via recording to arrange into finished pieces later. He said, \u201cWe have so, so, so, so much material \u2014 probably at least 50, like, arrangements. I\u2019m not saying they\u2019re all full songs, and they all need work. We\u2019re trying to leapfrog, go sort of back to the \u2018We Are Not Your Kind\u2019 process where start working on something, getting it to a level, shelving it, working on something else, coming back to it, going, \u2018Okay, now let\u2019s take this to another level,\u2019 and sort of doing that leapfrog where we can let everything evolve and hopefully at one point get to where it\u2019s, like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if we can let these evolve.\u2019 Sort of like making a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slipknot recently celebrated the anniversary of their 1999 self-titled album with a <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2025\/09\/slipknot-25th-anniversary-self-titled-album-stream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deluxe edition featuring over 40 unreleased songs<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2024\/08\/slipknot-madison-square-garden-2024-review-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a tour focused on that early era<\/a>.
