Corey Taylor reveals he is nearly done tracking vocals for Slipknot’s next album

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has been winding down tracking his parts for the band’s highly-anticipated seventh studio album while being on the road playing solo shows for his first solo album “CMFT”. Speaking recently as part of a virtual interview recorded for this year’s ‘Galaxy Con‘, Taylor revealed that he has roughly three songs left to finish recording.

He had the following to say about the recordings of his vocals for the upcoming album:

“I was actually supposed to finish my vocals this week. I got screwed, man, [by the COVID diagnosis]. I actually only have really three songs left to do. I’ve done all the other tracks because I’ve been doing ’em in between tours, just fucking hitting it.”

Speaking about the material on the upcoming album Taylor offered the following:

“I actually like this one better than the last one. I loved the last one. It’s really good. There’s some darker, heavier shit on it. There’s some tunes that are actually really outside the realm of what we’ve done before. But it all fucking coheses together — it all works together. And there’s some fucking savage heavy shit, which I’m really stoked on. So it’s gonna be rad.”
