SLIPKNOT will release its new album, “The End, So Far”, on September 30 via Roadrunner. The official music video for the LP’s new single, “The Dying Song (Time To Sing)”, can be seen below. Directed by the band’s own M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan, the clip sees one of the world’s most popular and deeply enigmatic bands relentlessly charting new ground as they continue to redefine, revitalize, and reimagine the scope of rock music.
Speaking about the forthcoming album, Crahan asserted: “New Music, new art, and new beginnings. Get ready for the end.”
Produced by SLIPKNOT and Joe Barresi, “The End, So Far” is available for pre-order today with several vinyl variants available at Slipknot1.com. “The End, So Far” includes the band’s 2021 surprise single “The Chapeltown Rag” and follows their widely celebrated 2019 album “We Are Not Your Kind”, which marked SLIPKNOT‘s third consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The release made a massive global impact with No. 1 debuts in the official album charts of twelve countries around the world, including the U.K., Australia, Canada and Mexico, with Top 5 debuts in an additional twelve countries including Germany, France and Sweden.
In February, singer Corey Taylor told SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” about the musical direction of the new SLIPKNOT material: “It’s really killer, man. It’s darker than ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, but there’s a ton of melody. I’ve been telling everybody that it’s like a heavier version of ‘Vol. 3[: (The Subliminal Verses)]’. It’s got so many textures and layers. The heavy stuff has attack but the melodic stuff you can just sink your teeth in; there’s a lot of great melodies and hooks. I’m really, really excited for people to hear it.”
