An image of the source code from Slipknot 's youcantkillme.com went viral on Monday night, the 22nd, when a fan found two new names on the band's list of members: Eloy and Jeff. See the image at the end of this article.
The group parted ways with longtime keyboardist Craig Jones and drummer Jay Weinberg last year, although the group has yet to perform a show with Weinberg's replacement. Jones left last June, and the band has done a few shows with a mystery keyboardist.
While the identity of the new members remains a secret, fans theorize that the drummer could be Brazilian Eloy Casagrande , who recently left Sepultura . With the name Eloy in the source code, many fans are already excited about the possibility.
Fans still don't have any theories about who Jeff, the possible replacement for Craig Jones, might be. The band's first show with the new members will be on April 27th at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas, USA. Brazil will be able to see the new lineup at Knotfest on October 19th and 20th. The festival will take place at Allianz Parque in São Paulo.
Another discovery by a Slipknot fan on Reddit was a hidden video on the website . The Reddit user shared a screenshot of the band members' faces in the video, which you can see at the end of this article.
What's on Slipknot's youcantkillme.com
The page has the look and feel of a website from the early 2000s, and considering there are photos of the band's formation in 1999 in the middle of the page, it likely serves as a teaser for the 25th anniversary of their self-titled album.
"Pay attention... the answers are everywhere," says the scrolling text at the top of the page.
Thus, it seems that there are hidden clues on the page.
The page contains references to the band's old website.
If you click on the band's image in the middle of the main page, you will be directed to another screen containing a sort of riddle about a seed. The Slipknot Wiki states that "The Seed" was a poem written by Corey Taylor, which was featured on their website around the year 2000.
There are also guides at the bottom of the site that take you to different screens. The “Guestbook” has fan comments, with a note at the top that says: “Thank you for checking out our site. If you want to add something to our guestbook, you should have been here 25 years ago.”
The “Music” tab shows the songs “Eyeless”, “Wait and Bleed”, “Surfacing”, “Spit It Out”, and “Me Inside”, which was a track included on the digipak version of the album [via Slipknot Wiki ]. The downloads are also called “modems”, which was how music was listened to during the dial-up internet era.
The bottom of each page also has a note that says, "This page was last updated on 04/25/2024," so it's possible they'll reveal something more this Thursday.
