Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor clearly has no plans of taking a break in 2020. Taylor will be touring with Slipknot as usual, but is also working on a solo album he's hoping to put out in 2021. In an interview with Kerrang!, Taylor has also now revealed he's written a script for a horror movie and he's also writing a new book.
So again – no real plans on slowing down.
“I’m starting to get material together for a solo album that I’m going to record in 2021. I’ve got about 26 songs written for it. It’s going to be the best ’90s album ever. That’s the only way I can really describe it. Some of it is a reflection of being sick and tired of this nutless rock’n’roll I’ve seen lately that is real soft. I like my rock’n’roll to kick me in the fucking nuts. That’s just me though, I’m a fucking dick!
“Other than that, I wrote a script for a horror movie that I’m really stoked about. And I just broke the skin on book five, so I’m working on that as well. I’ve got a lot of things going on, but I’m also making sure there’s plenty of time for my family, my marriage and home. God knows, you never know how much time you’re gonna get there.”
