Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has sparked speculation about new Slipknot music after sharing a mysterious studio photo on Instagram.
The Slipknot percussionist posted an image showing him working in the studio, fueling rumors that the band is working on a new project. Notably, Crahan did not include any caption or explanation with his post, leaving fans to speculate about what the band might be preparing.
The cryptic nature of the post has led to widespread discussion among Slipknot fans about potential new material from the metal band.
This studio activity comes at a particularly exciting time for Slipknot. The band has multiple projects in various stages of development that could explain Crahan’s mysterious post.
Music Feeds reported that the band is preparing to release Look Outside Your Window, a long-lost experimental album recorded in 2008 by four Slipknot members, including Crahan. The album represents a departure from the band’s typical heavy sound. It features more melodic and experimental elements that have remained unreleased for over a decade.
The Look Outside Your Window project has been confirmed for release in 2025 after years of delays and speculation among fans. Wikipedia noted that this collection showcases a different side of Slipknot’s creativity, offering fans a rare glimpse into the band’s more experimental tendencies during their creative process.
Meanwhile, Metal Injection revealed that Slipknot is also working on mixing a brand new album expected to be released this summer. Vocalist Corey Taylor disclosed that the new record is approximately halfway through the mixing process. This indicates that fans may have multiple releases to anticipate in the coming months.
The band has also announced plans to tour with a setlist featuring rare and long-unplayed songs. This suggests a comprehensive approach to both new material and revisiting their extensive catalog. This combination of upcoming releases and tour plans indicates that Crahan’s studio post could relate to either the final preparations for Look Outside Your Window or continued work on the new Slipknot album currently in production.
