Slipknot Teases Mysterious New Mask Era and Album Drop — Fans Worldwide Brace for the Heaviest Chapter Yet!
In a move that has set the heavy metal world ablaze, Slipknot has officially teased the beginning of a brand-new era, complete with cryptic imagery, chilling audio snippets, and the promise of a new album that could redefine their already legendary sound.

The video closes with the phrase:
“Prepare for what lies beneath… 09.09.25.”
This has led fans and music journalists alike to speculate that a new album will drop globally on September 9, 2025, alongside the launch of what insiders are calling the most intense visual and sonic era in Slipknot’s two-decade history.
Longtime percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan hinted at what’s coming in a rare interview:
