Corey Taylor Shares A New Tease Of His SLIPKNOT Mask

This has been a very long wait.

This has been a very long wait.

Slipknot will release their new album August 9, and along with that comes new masks and a tour with Volbeat, Behemoth and Gojira.

Frontman Corey Taylor has been teasing his mask for a while now, and while we've only got a new close-up photo of whatever it is, Taylor can only say that the mask reveals are coming "soon." Taylor is working with SFX artist Tom Savini, whose résumé includes Dawn Of The DeadDay Of The DeadFriday The 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, on the new mask.

We know Slipknot is just about wrapped up in the studio for the new album. It also doesn't seem like ex-percussionist Chris Fehn will be on the new album, as he "was presented with a very onerous take-it-or-leave-it, you're-not-an-equal-member-of-the-band-type proposal" before he sued his bandmates.
