Slipknot have surprise released a new EP.
The 20-minute 'Adderall' comprises six tracks and comes alongside the launch of an unsettling website, youcantkillme.com, featuring an eerie YouTube video for an atmospheric instrumental called Death March.
The track follows February's similar sounding song, Bone Church, which also emerged without any prior fanfare, marking the Grammy Award winners' first new music since their 2022 album, 'The End, So Far'.
The news arrives amid a tumultuous couple of days for the Iowa metal icons. Earlier this week, Shawn "Clown" Crahan announced that he would be missing the band's European dates due to his wife's ill health.
Following that, Slipknot revealed that sampler and keyboardist Craig Jones had left the line-up after 27 years, posting a statement that read: "To our fans, Slipknot is announcing that we have parted ways with Craig Jones. We wish Jones all the best for the future."
The band then deleted the announcements and released a photograph of a new mystery member, which many fans maintain is actually Jones, but with a new mask.
Slipknot will top Sunday's bill at this weekend's four-day Download festival in the UK. The show is part of their summer European tour, which continues tomorrow (June 10) at Greenfield Festival in Switzerland.
Hello to all of our fans, it’s the clown. I would like to take a moment to tell everyone that I’m back home supporting my wife through some health issues, and I’ll be back on the road as soon as I can.
