The moment we have been waiting for has arrived.
Slipknot have dropped a brand new track called “The Dying Song (Time to Sing)”. Along with the new track, they have also announced their highly-anticipated seventh studio album titled The End, So Far.
“The Dying Song (Time to Sing)” starts off with an a cappella Corey Taylor singing a few bars. Immediately after, the instrumentals kick in like a force of nature and fans are treated to a brutal, gut-punching track. Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan spoke about the forthcoming album via press release.
“New Music, new art, and new beginnings. Get ready for the end.”
The End, So Far is set to be released on September 30th of this year, and will serve as their last album with Roadrunner Records. The album is available for pre-order now.

Back in March, Decker spoke with Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg. Weinberg told us that The End, So Far is still very much a Slipknot record, but the band decided to branch out and try things they’ve never thought to try before.
“I would say we kind of turned up the dials on experimentation. And there’s some new things happening that are really exciting, really interesting — stuff that maybe I wouldn’t have even expected us to pull out of our hat. We’ve got a song that’s like… the heaviest blues song on earth, and stuff like that that’s super exciting to hear what the guys are doing,”
Weinberg also touched on how Slipknot as a band continues to stay inspired when making music.
“Not to sound like a jerk but all of us…are such avid art and music consumers… that I think it’s safe to say we have good taste…we know what’s good and what sucks and we have no problem telling each other ‘hey that guitar riff sucks’ or ‘that drum fill sucked’…”
