Slipknot: “New album will have Iowa moments and Vol. 3 moments,” says Taylor

Corey Taylor explained a previous comment about Slipknot's new album being as heavy as Iowa.

Last year, Corey Taylor Slipknot 's new album would have "Iowa-level " . The comment circulated the internet until the release of the new single.

It also has Vol. 3 WANYK ( We Are Not Your Kind moments . Everyone is a critic, but I hope I've cleared up any misunderstandings. Enjoy the next chapter – see you all soon!”

The new album will be released on August 9th.

Thanks to the millions of #maggots around the world. Spoiler: new album has Iowa moments. Also has Vol. 3 moments. But it overwhelmingly has WANYK moments. Everyone's a critic, but I hope this clears up any misconceptions. Enjoy the next chapter- see you all soon! -CMFT
