We've been talking about it and talking about it, but now we've got all the information on it. Slipknot will release their new record We Are Not Your Kind on August 9, and the band has unveiled their new masks in a very religiously-tinted Shawn "Clown" Crahan-directed music video for the new single "Unsainted". As far as the song goes, it's a pretty heavy one that does a great job of including some creepy choirs. Interestingly, the new album doesn't appear to feature Slipknot's 2018 single "All Out Life".
Check out the music video, tracklist and cover art below, and be sure to catch the band on tour with Volbeat, Gojira, and Behemoth. Tour dates at the end of the post. Update: We take a deep dive into the new Slipknot masks here.

"Unsainted" lyrics:
Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn't come this far to sink so low/I'm finally holding on to letting goI'm just weathering a rough patch… another villain with an itch to scratch
Denial is the darkest when you live in a hole
Why does the Hell make you feel so cold?
Make a move and you pay for it/Pick a Lord and you pray to it
You're so demanding when you want the truth, but your stories don't read for me
Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn't come this far to sink so low/I'm finally holding on to letting goIndecision Overload/Keep a buckle on the Devil and your eyes on the road
Reaching out for the hand of God, but did you Think- You'd- Shake- Your- Own?
This Killing Field is all grown over- the Motherfucker wants it wild
Go sew your oats in alphabetical order/the Anti-Antagonist is back- in- style
MYOPIC/Cannot See Straight/DYSTOPIC/One Sin Too Late
You got to lie if you want to believe, but your Bibles don't work on me
Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn't come this far to sink so low/I'm finally holding on to letting… GODid you think you could win? And fill me in?
Did you think you could do it again? I'm not your sin
I was all that you wanted and more- but you didn't want me
I was more than you thought I could be
So I'm setting you free- I'm setting you freeYou've Killed The Saint In Me How Dare You Martyr Me
You've Killed The Saint In MeOh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn't come this far to sink so low/I'm finally holding on to letting goYou've Killed The Saint In Me/How Dare You Martyr Me
You've Killed The Saint In Me/How Dare You Martyr Me
