Now that we've gotten two new Slipknot singles in "The Negative One" and "The Devil And I", it's time for Slipknot to promote a tour! Today, tickets went on sale for Slipknot's big comeback tour with Korn and King 810. To build anticipation for the event, Slipknot released this video promoting the tour:

The video features Corey Taylor encouraging fans to come out to the tour but his face is being obscured a bit. It's hard to get a really good screenshot of the mask, but the photo at the top was the best I could do. From what little I can see, it seems like Corey Taylor's mask is more of a throwback to earlier masks.
Here is his most recent mask:
And here is an earlier version of his mask:
As you can see, the older mask features stitching. You can clearly see some stitches in Taylor's new mask in the promo video, but they seem to be on the other side of his face. Is his face being mirrored or is the stitching intentionally on the other side?
One other noticeable update is the tradition Slipknot "S" logo has been updated to be two symmetrical goat heads, which you can see behind the tour dates. Looks pretty cool to me.
Are you on board with all this teasing?
