Slipknot’s Jim Root Teases New Album That Will ‘Hurt Some Feelings’

Slipknot’s guitarist Jim Root has dropped some intriguing hints about the band’s upcoming album, suggesting it will be a departure from their previous work. In a recent social media post, Root warned fans that the new music is going to “hurt some feelings” and emphasized that they are experimenting with different approaches.

Root, who has been with Slipknot since their self-titled debut in 1999, stated that fans shouldn’t expect another “Iowa” or their self-titled album. He described the vibe of the new material as honest and reminiscent of their earlier days, but clarified that this doesn’t necessarily dictate the sound or production style.

The guitarist also acknowledged some criticism of their last album, “The End, So Far,” agreeing with fans who expressed a desire for heavier music. He noted that the new album will be recorded with a focus on live sound, utilizing analog techniques and capturing the energy of the band in the studio.

As Slipknot gears up for their 2027 world tour, starting with a significant show at Wembley Stadium on July 3, the anticipation for their new album is building. With Root’s candid insights, fans can expect a bold and fresh direction from the nu metal icons.
