Slipknot Frontman Talks New Members’ Masks and The Gray Chapter

 

 

 

Slipknot legendary front man Corey Taylor recently sat down with Full Metal Jackie for a in depth interview about Slipknot’s new album and the new members.  Everyone is curious about the drummer and bassist that will be sit ins for the late Paul Gray and departed drummer Joey Jordison,  Slipknot continues to be cryptic and quiet about the new members and what went down during recording, but he does talk about the masks

“We wanted to make something that still looked unified but still stayed with the spirit of what the band is all about,” Corey said. “Instead of trying to find something that was individualistic, we designed — well, [percussionist] Clown designed a mask that the drummer and the bass player will both wear. On one hand, they get a mask, but at the same time, it’s not the individual mask that we in the band use. We knew that any attempt to do anything like that might be taken as disrespectful, but at the same time it’s part of the way of moving, getting past the hardest steps, which is just moving on. So, we decided that we would come up with a mask that works for both the bassist and the drummer and that’s what they’ll wear on stage.””

Not too much information, but a good look at how Slipknot is dealing with the new members.
