Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan Unveils Vision for Slipknot’s ‘Arsenal’ Video

Slipknot’s Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has shared insights into the creative process behind the band’s new single, ‘Arsenal.’ The percussionist, who directed the accompanying video, faced unique challenges as the band prepares for their upcoming album cycle.

In a recent behind-the-scenes clip, Crahan explained that the decision to release ‘Arsenal’ as a standalone track put him in a tricky spot. With the band’s new masks and outfits still in development, he aimed to avoid repeating past visuals. Instead, he opted for a haunting, dream-like aesthetic that follows a character portrayed by actor Jackson White.

Crahan emphasized the importance of originality, stating, “It feels so right to do the band, but I definitely don’t want to regurgitate old stuff because Slipknot doesn’t do that.” He aims to create a connection between the song and its video, allowing fans to interpret them in their own way.

As excitement builds around ‘Arsenal,’ fans can look forward to more from Slipknot as they continue to evolve their sound and visuals.
