Slipknot’s Corey Taylor is opening up about the lyrics on the Iowa metal band’s upcoming album, and he says the subject matter will look back on a recent, difficult time during his personal life.
“The last few years have been really tough for me,” Taylor says in a new interview with Music Week. “With the exception of my kids and my bands, it’s been a dark time for me. I didn’t relapse or anything, but it was just the depression that I was dealing with and the anger that I was dealing with that was consuming me.”
“I had to get myself out of that situation, and now the lyrics I’m writing for the Slipknot album are all about that period of time,” he added in the interview. “Basically the last five years of my life just trying to get my head around everything, and moving towards the happiness I remember.”
Slipknot’s forthcoming album, which has yet to be titled, will mark the band ‘s follow-up to 2014’s “.5: The Gray Chapter” and is expected to arrive later this year. For more on the story, check out Audio Ink Radio.
