Last year, Slipknot‘s Shawn “Clown” Crahan promised that the highly anticipated Look Outside Your Window would be coming out in 2024. It’s now November and guess what — that shit still ain’t out. That’s kinda been the M.O. regarding that release for a while now, with the band saying “it’s still a thing” and promising it will be out soon.
Well, in a recent interview with Vulture, Clown gave another update on the album’s status and it’s sounding like the wait is going to continue. And while the music is done, the art is selected, and it’s not be orked on in the studio, it’s still in the works.
“Oh my God. I don’t even know where to begin. I mean, there’s audio, and then there’s video too. We have tons of incomplete concepts, some just under completion. There’s a lot of Slipknot I wish the culture could have. There is so much I create throughout my career but very, very little is actually put out there.
“Someone recently brought up the album Look Outside Your Window. It was a piece of art Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and myself created in 2008. We made it up the hill from the studio that we recorded All Hope Is Gone in, in Perry, Iowa. No one believes that it even exists, or that it’s ever going to come out. I’ve always talked very highly of it and I’ve always said that you will never hear Corey Taylor sing like this. It’s just a whole different approach in my mind. Recently, I approved all the art. I’ve also worked really hard to get it mixed and mastered.”
So yeah, it’s looking like a lot of the background stuff that leads to an album’s release is pretty much squared away. All that’s left to do is wait for the damn thing to come out, though when that’ll happen is anyone’s guess at this point.
