Many bands have tons of amazing unreleased music that they’ve been sitting on for years and Slipknot is no exception. The band’s frontman Corey Taylor recently shared an exciting update about the release of their “lost” album Look Outside Your Window.

Slipknot recorded this album while working on their 2008 album All Hope Is Gone, and they’ve mentioned it on countless occasions over the years. The potential release of this record was always lurking on the horizon, and they almost dropped it as a Christmas surprise for their fans in 2019, but eventually decided against it. 

In a recent interview with NME, Taylor mentioned Look Outside Your Window again and said they’ll most likely release it next year. He described it as Slipknot’s “long-lost album” and said it contains some of his favorite melodies with the band.

“I just went back and listened to all that stuff and it’s so dope and so different. People going into this thinking it sounds like ‘Slipknot’ Slipknot are so wrong. It doesn’t sound like anything Slipknot have ever done, that’s why it’s its own thing,” said Taylor.

Slipknot’s latest studio album The End, So Far hit the shelves last year and debuted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
