Would not be surprised if the song drops on June 29th - the date of their first album's debut

[@faustomadebr]

Makes sense. They probably have all the material and Eloy just need to do his magic.

[@frogdawg33]

This is cool I’m from Arizona and we have two towns next to each other called Eloy and casa grande

[@Dustinfightsdemons]

Thats crazy. I wonder if that's coincidence? I highly doubt it is. Maybe that's where he's from

[@allcosta]

"Casagrande" = slave owner's residence in a plantation, in Portuguese. I guess that's similar in Spanish, hence the name of the city. P.S.: the literal transltation of "casa grande" would be "big house". However, these 2 words put together usually refers to the above.

[@Frankenberry]

I could not agree more. Eloy's arrival has turned the negative murmurs into VERY loud applause. I'll even go one further... I think Eloy, along with this whole retro vibe they're going with right now is even bringing back fans that have fallen away for much longer than just recently. Personally, their first two albums, Slipknot and Iowa, have ALWAYS been my two favorite albums. I thought The subliminal verses was good... but after that one, and after they started getting more into doing the more stone sour style sounding songs here and there, I just kinda lost interest. I never like hated them, or never even got to where I didn't "like" them... It just wasn't the same to me anymore, and the more guys they lost... and the more the look changed, the less interesting they were to me. But, Just the fact of the rumors going around that Eloy may be coming on... I started getting interested. I remember watching his Slipknot drum cover videos and being blown away... the first time I commented on one it was like "Why the hell is this guy not in Slipknot?" Fast forward a while and here we are. After seeing videos of the 3 shows they've done with him (that I know of), and with not only the classic look (Kinda) being back.. and then the FEROCITY of how they're playing being back similar to how it was in the earlier days. It's just got me so stoked about Slipknot again. I'll be getting out to see them as soon as they're close enough.

[@OverlordElder]

I'm still salty about Joey because I loved his and his dad's work but he's seems to be in a band that's a good fit for him and I'm excited to see slipknot with their second wind. I'm seeing them later this week and I'll report how it goes 🫡

[@blue1133]

[@Frankenberry]

@@OverlordElder I'm assuming you mean Jay? I don't know of Joey's dad doing anything, so I'm guessing you meant Jay and Max.

@@Frankenberry yes I did mean Jay just didn't notice lol

[@Frankenberry]

@@OverlordElder Lol, I thought so. Jay's a great drummer... Max is too in his own right. I just feel like for Slipknot, Eloy's power and accuracy is just a better fit. And you can definitely hear Joey's influence on Eloy, much like Jay... Eloy's just got a lot more power it seems like. The cartilage in that dude's joints are going to be powder by the time he's 60 lol.

I have a feeling that Slipknot will be doing what Lorna Shore did with ...And I Return To Nothingness. Meaning that they will make a small EP with Eloy then continue making a full length album. Just like Lorna Shore did with Will.

[@wanderergrim]

Just a guess but I feel like they are only doing the jumpsuits and throwback masks for the 25th anniversary stuff and then it will back to newer outfits like Jim and Corey for instance wearing shirts and new mask designs again. Also I think the new song will be just a single as a sort of this what new music with eloy will be like and welcome to the band. I like how Jim hinted that new Slipknot music will be heavy because the drum videos Eloy sent over we're just crazy

0:49 Eloy is a brilliant drummer, that makes me more worried about how he will be treated if he should get replaced down the line. Slipknot doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to how they’ve treated Joey and later Jay. They didn’t deserve it and Eloy sure as hell doesn’t deserve it. However, just by watching them play live it’s clear they’re all stoked about their new lineup, which gives me hope for the future. The End so Far was such a disappointment to me that I more or less gave up on any future music, but now I feel hopeful again! 🤘🏻🇸🇪🤘🏻

One thing people sometines ignore is how Eloy brought a lot of new fans to Sepultura and will do the same for Slipknot. I have a friend who works in the industry and we both are more classic rock oriented. Slipknot are not our thing, but with Eloy, we are happy to wait for new songs with him. He is a beast. Totally next level and we are proud of him here in Brazil.

[@robertsylvester3542]

That fact that Jim said that is what the click between a drummer and guitarist represents. Not the metronome click but the one that influences writing. Slipknot are once again going to blow us away in the future I guarantee it.

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

I really hope they continue to release full-length albums and do not exclusively just do singles. An album is an experience of immersion.

[@jessepalmateer9127]

It’s pretty obvious that not everybody can agree which slipknot is better, old or new. Heavy or experimental. This makes sense, it’s all very subjective. But there’s one perspective I feel like people should be able to understand and agree on objectively: slipknot has been at it for a while and has so much experience in song writing and multiple genres. I do feel it would be fun for a “return to form” so to speak, but also, they’re so much more mature now than when they were back when they were making music like that. Mature in age, song writing ability, musicianship, and general knowledge of the industry and genre tropes. I could see them doing a song like that for fun, for the OG fans as a call back. But I think people begging for them to revert their sound back to their early years is doing them a disservice and honestly a little disrespectful. I love how they’ve grown and experimented and shown that in their music with such professionalism. Anything that doesn’t evolve or change dies, and they’ve embraced that and made strides in how they do music. I’m stoked to see more of what they can do and how they can change and define not only who they are, but the genres they influence so heavily. People also seem to forget that their new stuff also has A LOT of heavy parts, it’s just incorporated more dynamically now. Either way, this new drummer sounds legit and I’m pumped to see what they got next! Legends!

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

Idk man I get it’s objective but vast majority of the most dedicated fans much prefer the older sound. It’s like saying that metallicas new albums is better than their first 4, some subjective things should be objectively looked at

I said it when Jay Weinberg was gone they're going to have to address their drumming situation head-on and that's exactly what they've done. They did not even attempt to hide the new Drummer. Members openly talking about it allowing Eloy to make his own statements. Good. Fit.

[@a1m4thah3d]

I could have swore Clown or Corey were saying recently that since they don't have a label they may not release albums anymore and just release songs whenever its convenient for them? But that might have been when they still had Jay and maybe they feel more motivated to write a full album now.

[@gambit5667]

Think it'll release in time to be performed live at LTL?

[@rhynod6796]

They can absolutely reproduce their old sound. Maybe it's just me, but anybody who has been a fan since the early days can tell you their latest album 'The End so Far' is a collection of unused riffs from just about every album cycle. It wouldn't surprise me if their new song sounds like something off their first or second album.
