Slipknot: Jim Root reveals that 'We Are Not Your Kind' is very different from 'Iowa'

The guitarist admitted he doesn't like comparing the two works

Last year, Corey Taylor Slipknot 's new album would have "the weight of Iowa." The comment circulated the internet until the release of the new single, "Unsainted," a more melodic track from the band.

The backlash forced the vocalist to explain the situation, saying that We Are Not Your Kind , scheduled for August 9th, will also have Vol. 3 moments, but also “crushing WANYK (We Are Not Your Kind) ”. Now, guitarist Jim Root has spoken about the matter .

“I wouldn’t compare in a million years something we’re doing with something we’ve already done. I don’t believe in that. I think it’s bad (…) We’re not those people from Iowa anymore, we’re not that band anymore,” he said during an interview with Kerrang! Radio at the Download Festival.
