It’s coming.
Slipknot have revealed that their highly anticipated new album will drop August 9th. The new album is titled We Are Not Your Kind, which is a lyric from their song “All Out Life”, which does not appear on the tracklist for the album.
You can pre-order a copy of We Are Not Your Kind at Slipknot’s official website.
Along with album news, Slipknot have also unveiled what their new masks for this album cycle will look like. The masks are revealed in a music video for new song “Unsainted” which is directed by Shawn “Clown” Crahan. Interestingly, the newest members of Slipknot, Alessandro Venturella on bass and Jay Weinberg respectively, have been awarded their own masks for this new album.
Guitarist Jim Root told Blabbermouth.net:
“This is most time we’ve had to write a record, and work stuff out together. One of my inspirations this time around was those artists that recorded full length albums – not just songs. While the industry is moving toward singles, Slipknot wanted to make an album experience, front to back.”
We Are Not Your Kind is the follow-up to 2014’s .5: The Grey Chapter.
“Unsainted” lyrics:
Oh, I’ll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn’t come this far to sink so low/I’m finally holding on to letting go
I’m just weathering a rough patch… another villain with an itch to scratch
Denial is the darkest when you live in a hole
Why does the Hell make you feel so cold?
Make a move and you pay for it/Pick a Lord and you pray to it
You’re so demanding when you want the truth, but your stories don’t read for me
Oh, I’ll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn’t come this far to sink so low/I’m finally holding on to letting go
Indecision Overload/Keep a buckle on the Devil and your eyes on the road
Reaching out for the hand of God, but did you Think- You’d- Shake- Your- Own?
This Killing Field is all grown over- the Motherfucker wants it wild
Go sew your oats in alphabetical order/the Anti-Antagonist is back- in- style
MYOPIC/Cannot See Straight/DYSTOPIC/One Sin Too Late
You got to lie if you want to believe, but your Bibles don’t work on me
Oh, I’ll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn’t come this far to sink so low/I’m finally holding on to letting… GO
Did you think you could win? And fill me in?
Did you think you could do it again? I’m not your sin
I was all that you wanted and more- but you didn’t want me
I was more than you thought I could be
So I’m setting you free- I’m setting you free
You’ve Killed The Saint In Me How Dare You Martyr Me
You’ve Killed The Saint In Me
Oh, I’ll never kill myself to save my soul/I was gone but how was I to know?
I didn’t come this far to sink so low/I’m finally holding on to letting go
You’ve Killed The Saint In Me/How Dare You Martyr Me
You’ve Killed The Saint In Me/How Dare You Martyr Me
