Slipknot Drummer Promises "Heavy As Fuck" Album

SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison has revealed to Britain's Kerrang! magazine (web site) that the follow-up to the band's 2004 effort "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" will be the heaviest of its 12-year career.

"It's going to be heavy as fuck!" promised Jordison. "It's going to be heavier than 'Vol. 3...' but just as weird and as experimental. We have a whole bunch of song titles, but nothing I wanna say right now."

The sticksman — currently filling in for KORN drummer David Silveria, who has been on hiatus from the Bakersfield nu-metallers since the beginning of the year — will be touring with the band until October.

"I'm having a blast out on the road," Jordison told Kerrang!. "I'll be on the whole Family Values run in the U.S. with KORN over the summer and we've got some Brazilian dates in August and September. The KORN guys are really laid back and the shows have been killer, but in October we'll be starting a new SLIPKNOT chapter."

Jordison will regroup with his SLIPKNOT bandmates to begin writing material for their fifth studio album with a view to recording in January.

"I've talked to the other guys a bunch of times over the last few months about the new album," he explained to Kerrang!. "I've told them to demo whatever they can so we've got as much material to chose from as possible. So be warned 2008 is going to be all about SLIPKNOT!"

It better be f***en heavy, cause vol 3 was a letdown. The heaviest album they did was Iowa. So they need to make it heavier then that album. OH yeah corey better curse like a motherf***er on the new record. The last record no parental advisory sticker. Come on this is the band that brought such athems as surfacing and people= sh**. But yeah they better step it up a few notches with the next record.

Iowa was a somewhat heavy album....I think it is time for Slipknot and Korn to just go away.

My anthem is the Benny Hill song where he's chasin' the chicks around in their underwear...whatever.

I'll agree that Joey is the most talented part of Slipknot. . .he needs to find something to do constructive with his time other than Nu-Metal, Gutter Punk, and More Nu-Metal.

Any band that releases Vol. 3 and still claims to be metal is posing as a metal band. That is how I can safely call Joey a poser, as opposed to a sh**ty drummer, which is what you seem to think I called him. Don't put words in my mouth.

Slipknot are about to make their St. Anger. Heaviest album of their career? I'll believe it when I hear it.

I agree with Post 3, Iowa was the heaviest album they put out. It weaved out all the posers with it's aggressive black and death metal influence. Vol 3 was such a let down that I gave it to an emo chick at school....Corey needs to learn how to growl again.

Comment 22: yes, Joey is a f***in poser. Yes, he plays good, no arguments there. He's a poser because he puts himself out as such a douchbag. He acts as though everything he does is SOOOO COOOL, when in actuality he just needs to keep his goddamned mouth shut.

Slipknot is Nu-Metal, which in reality is just rap-rock in some down tuning and some screams added. It's about as metal as silver spray paint.

Good drummer? Yes. Best drummer in the f***in world? No. I'll give that to Nick Barker or maybe Hellhammer.

And Slipknot was Nu-Metal through and through. I've listened to all their songs, I used to be a fan. Aggressive Modern Metal. . .aka. . .Nu-Metal. Learn to turn your caps off, you're not impressing anyone, nor does your argument have any real substance to it.

Do you think that if they would record 10 more "Iowas" it would be better? They did something different and I just enjoy listening to "vol3" that's it! And I'm not trying to impres someone it's just my opinion! That album has better melodies and Joey's work is better than in "Iowa"!

You all guys agreed that heavier doesn"t meen better! "Iowa" was heavier than "vol3" but it wasn't better! And I really loved "Iowa"! "Heretic anthem" one of my favorite songs from them!

Agreed with Strife

Habby: Jordison's a far cry from the best. Fave drummers (web not needed) Include Gene Hoglan, Martin Lopez, Sean Reinert, Gavin Harrison, Chris Pennie, Danny Carey, and while I'm not a big fan of the band -- Mastodon's Brann Dailor impresses.

As a bassist and a terrible "for-the-fun-of-it" drummer I've always had a weird respect for Jordison's ability and style. The rest of his bandmates walk the line between average and boring. Throw in some yawn/twitch inducing lyrics and you're left with a decidely low brow and lopsided act.

Decent "Intro to Metal" act though. Better than Korn or A7X anyway.

Now Playing: Behemoth - "Christgrinding Ave."

I've been a fan from the beggining and always will be!! They always come up with different things that keep you interested. Only cuz you can scream and growl all the way through a song doesnt make it good. At least corey puts some depth into his songs and makes it mean something.

Dude if you want a band that doesn't have to scream and growl their way through a song yet still remain awesome, listen to Into Eternity. Those guys have depth and meaning to their songs, not to mention have more than a talented drummer.

52. Timothy Alexander Dotson writes:

Into Eternity is a great band! I will give you that! But they have absolutely nothing on SLIPKNOT. SLIPKNOT is without a doubt, the greatest band this planet(or universe) has ever seen. EVER!
And I do agree, I do think that "Iowa" was heavier than "Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)". And althought SLIPKNOT IS Nu Metal, it slowly started to fade from Nu Metal after the first album. The first SLIPKNOT album was Pure Nu Metal from beginning to end.

But my whole thing is that I'm really excited for the new SLIPKNOT album to come about. But for now, I'll just enjoy watching Corey & James do their thing in Stone Sour for now.

Stay (sic) f***ers! And long live all Maggots!

Fair point Tim except for one thing, how could anyone possibly say that Slipknot are the greatest band on the planet? Your favourite maybe but the best? Hell no. From my view they've never even done a good album. Albums with some good songs but that's it

I agree with RememberMetal? Slipknot is a great gateway band. They always take amazing bands on tour like God Forbid, Lamb of God and Shadows Fall. Slipknot were my gateway band and for that reason I will always listen. But in the same breath I can admit they're not the greatest band ever. In fact I feel sorry for all the local bands here in Iowa because they will always have Slipknot's fame to live up against. There's a great band here called Eddie Buzzard that needs to be signed.
