SLIPKNOT: All Hope Is Gone -8/26/08
Slipknot Names New Album, Preps For Tour
Slipknot's fourth album has been christened "All Hope Is Gone" and will arrive Aug. 26 via Roadrunner. A first single and track list have yet to be announced.
"We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men," group member Corey Taylor says in a statement. "I think it's the best thing I've ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong."
Taylor previously described the new album to Billboard as a "very dark" cross between "Vol. 3" and 2001's "Iowa." "It has so much power in it and yet there are so many great spots for melody," he said. "It's a controlled chaos that hits you right out of the gate."
Lyrically, "Instead of bitching about what went wrong in my life, I'm bitching about what's wrong in life, period," Taylor said, noting that his vocals are much more melodic than before. "I got to the point where I was tired of pretending that I couldn't sing every time I made a Slipknot album, so this time I'm going all out."
Slipknot will co-headline this summer's 30-date Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem tour, which begins July 9 at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Wash.

I know things have changed in Coreys life and its reflected in his music, but man i wish they would bring back some of that anger from the self titled cd. That cd sounds like nothing else ive heard and i loved it. I will buy this cd(i do sorta dig the first single, sorta thrashish) and i would love to see them for a third time if i get a chance, but i miss the days of passing around that cd and people just freaking over it.

I loved Volume 3, thought it was their best and I saw them 3 times on that tour. And the new song is awesome and a step in the right direction.
The first 2 records have their moments, but I have a feeling this one upcoming and Vol.3 are going to define their career.

Man it's great to have the 'knot back. I find Iowa a bit uneven but nonetheless, I can't wait.
I've read an article in Revolver and this album sounds amazing. I have yet to hear the single BTW, but a must purchase.

i found it amusing that on blabbermouth, people seemed surprised that there is apparently a solo at the end of the song sample for the new album, when there are a few on volume 3 (even dueling solos on 'pulse of the maggots')

And the irony in that statement is this, Slayer isn't black metal. And Slayer has made the same album since the beginning on their career to now. But a band like Slipknot (and many others) actually EVOLVE their sound and they are sell outs. Ah the brain of a Blabbermouth poster.
For the record I do post there under the name Dildo Daggins.

Mayhem fest is gonna rule. Sure i gotta suffer through disturbed (first album is the only true great one they made, newest one is truely bland imo), Dragonforce could be interesting, and i'm a big Mastodon fan, and i'm probably going to be there hours before the gates open since i'm a fan of alot of the second stage bands.

I'll wait to see them again until they do their own tour. I'm done with festival shows. They suck.
So far I like what I'm hearing. It sounds intense, fast, brutal AND it has solos (finally). I hope the rest of the album is as good as the 2 songs heard so far.

Fuck itunes exclusive tracks. I like to go to a B&M and pick up a physical copy of the album. Why am I not rewarded for that? Instead some 13 year old, with no concept of owning physical media, downloads it and gets extra goodies. Fuck that.

I read somewhere that Slipknot doesn't plan to do a solo tour till 09. Solo being non festival that is. Also really like "All Hope Is Gone" Not the worlds biggest fan of "Psychosocial" yet, but it'll prob grow on me.
