Slipknot's Clown Teases New Album In Kerrang Magazine

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan was interviewed in the latest issue of the UK magazine Kerrang! While the primary focus of the piece is the upcoming 10th anniversary of the band's landmark album Iowa (which is being reissued November 1), he also had some thoughts about whether the band will make another studio album following the loss of bassist Paul Gray.

Says Crahan, "There's plans [to make another record] but that's a way off. No one will push it, because it's going to be a big one. It'll be closer to Iowa, but it'll be sadder and crazier. And really thought-provoking, it could even be conceptual."

He continued, "We're still taking some time to reflect on our brother [Gray]. Everybody needs to be collecting thoughts so they can get it out and no one has really had time to collect thoughts yet. But we're the fucking 'Knot. And when we come out, you'll know your band is done."

The 10th Anniversary Edition of Iowa, which includes the original album remastered, a live CD, and a DVD, can be pre-ordered now at this link.
