Slipknot To Release Free Single Tomorrow, Reveal Album Details

According to Kerrang.com, Slipknot will release a brand new track, "All Hope Is Gone", as a free download single tomorrow (June 20). The title cut of the band's new album will be available for free from the Roadrunner Records web site for a period of 24 hours beginning at midnight EST, then will be available as a download single from digital retailers like iTunes and Napster on June 23.

"'All Hope Is Gone' is a classic-style Slipknot track pure and simple, but this fucker is jacked up a few thousand volts!" drummer Joey Jordison told Kerrang! "The song, music and theme speak for itself. It's a song about the world at stake: all the situations at hand, be it personal or worldly, and trying to turn things into a positive. Sometimes you have to face the grotesque to bring about something amazing."

Jordison revealed that "All Hope Is Gone" is a true collaborative effort and was one of the final songs recorded for the band's follow-up to 2004's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)", which is also called "All Hope Is Gone".

"I actually demoed this song alone and didn't know what would come of it as we were nearing the end of the album," he said. "I was hoping it would make it. I knew it would, once everyone spewed their venom upon it.

"A lot of the grind riffs for the verses changed into riffs Paul [Gray, bassist] had years ago, way before Slipknot," he added. "Funny how things won't die. Mick [Thomson, guitarist] came in and fucking set fire to the track and Jim [Root, guitarist] followed as well. Once Corey [Taylor, frontman] put his fucking vocals on it, that was it, man. That guy's voice and conviction could sell narcotics to a nun."

Slipknot's new album, "All Hope Is Gone", will be released on August 26 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was recorded this spring in Slipknot's home state of Iowa and was co-produced by the band and Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvayne).

"We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men," Corey Taylor said in a statement. "I think it's the best thing I've ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong."

[Mandalic]

On your marks everybody !!!

[maddog26]

that song is soo frickin heavy, its gonna be a great album

[Slinov]

I have to say, i am anticipating this album a fair bit.

[Zao_89]

Haha, the song leaked already anyways

[TheQuailman]

I liked their last album, so I think I'll give this a shot.

[Masonpwiley]

Hopefully this will suck less.

[XSider]

this song isn't very special.

[Conor360]

SLIPKNOT i cant wait to see them at Mayhem Festival this album is suppose to be their heaviest yet and they will probably play a few live there.

[Guitar_Jester]

Fucking bad ass!

[JBizzle Da Truf]

nice!

[sunofnothing4]

Yeah theres nothing special about the track. Its Slipknot theres not much to expect, but finally they have a ****ing solo that isn't 3 seconds ****ing long. If they think they're so goddamn bad ass why cant they do better?!!?

I'm not kidding. I used to love these guys, but then I started listening to waaaaay better things. This stuff just seems like 8th grader shit. Sorry, it just pisses me off that they can't do better.

[[x]Huffy[x]]

It's already leaked onto the internet.

It's good stuff. Not really for fans of Vol. 3 though. It's more like the stuff on Iowa.

[The_Paranoia]

That picture on the main page made me jump. Gotta stop coming to UG when I first wake up...

I don't really like Slipknot at all, but I got some friends who do so I guess I will be hearing this anyway.

[xTheVulcan]

Shit this song is fierce. Hopefully the album will follow up on it nicely.

[Masonpwiley]

I used to like these guys, until I found better stuff. Seriously guys, it's not that hard to find good music. I am disappointed that they decided to go a step back. Vol 3. was a step in the right direction.

[Cyberwarfare]

OHH yea WOOO ive waited a long time 4 this

[isabiggles]

Corey Taylor challenges us to show him stuff that Slipknot have done better than this new stuff.

My answer is: MFKR

[Noverion]

I loved Vol.3 really didnt like Iowa, but mainly becasue of the lyrical content, this song though, was ****ing awesome! Love it.

[GnikNus]

i've never been a big slipknot fan but i liked a few tracks off their last album and this kicks ass

[2late2know]

I'm not a huge fan of slipknot, but i do like them (yes i liked vol. 3), but honestly this new single.... kinda sucks

[SRV59]

I ****ing love these guys! I've been waiting for this!

[Chozz]

Haha i already have it :P

[SoftParade1967]

YES! I've been ****in waiting for this!

[SomeMetalLover]

Jezus, i heart the song, but this really SUCKS. What the hell is so good in this song? I got a headache of this noise music,,,

[Brian Gelvin]

I used to be way into SlipKnot, but then I grew up. I really liked Vol. 3 and hearing what this song is about sounds good to me. I'm never really into the whole let's sing about killing someone or having so much hate for something. It just put's me in a mind set that I don't really like.

[Kevguy47]

thats a f***in awesome song! i wasnt a huge fan of slipknot but i liked them, but this is purely awesome im gunna get their album the day i comes out

[EVL/666]

strange how corey's ego becomes huger than life when he's in Slipknot, compared to how he is in Stone Sour

[Barack Obama]

in my opinion, this song is garbage

WHEN ALL HOPE IS GOOOOONNNEEEEE!!!!!

We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men," Corey Taylor said

This is great. This free download is the newest trend going on with big bands or seasoned ones. I will stay up to get the single tonight to get it.

Yay more free music.

This new song feels like a step in the wrong direction for Slipknot. Vol.3 sounded fresh ,exciting, and different.

yeah I agree...It just sounds like they are trying too hard to not become mainstream

[Jizkid Jnr]

the only album i'm anticipating more than this is the new trivium album (september 30th)

[HedBanger24/7]

I used to like Slipknot before I got into REAL music. I listened to the track and, in my honest opinion, I think it sucks. I will listen to their older shit for nostalgic reasons but this track just seems like a worse version of their past. I admit, they had some ****ed up angry emotions in the past records but this just seems like their almost faking it. I also wonder what strictly fans of Subliminal Verses will think of this new stuff if most of the tracks follow suit of this song.

[Thienskater]

or for those of you who can't wait, you can find the song on youtube.com

[JohnnySniper]

already got the track, it's heavy as
such a good song, hope the rest of their album is in the same vein

[Megan_26]

I can't wait any longer!!! -drools-

[nirvanafan11111]

All you haters shut the hell up, This song is one song with intensity, the album i'm hopin will be like a bestof of Iowa and the Subliminal verses, as i loved trhe acoustic tracks on tat album! And not only teenage boys its awesome, it has a ripping solo in it and has the intensity that got me into slipknot in the first place! I personally hope that this is a mixture of Iowa and the subliminal verses as I loved the nihilistic lyrical content and intensity of Iowa and the use of quiet and loud dynamics to accentuate their sound( the acoustic tracks were awesome) I'm fed up with slipknots reputation as a nu-metal band with masks for tenney-weenies. Its an old statement first brought out about 7 years ago, grow up and if you don't like slipknot don't speak on a slipknot thread. I don't particulary like Opeth as I find them boring, i don't start dissing them when one of their threads comes around!

[nirvanafan11111]

I also understand i repeated myself in that post, so what!

[thinlizzymyhero]

slipknot are awesome if u dont agree u need to gp get ur head examined. ive been waiting for this for ages.
Long live Slipknot!

[742627000017]

Self Titled is in my opinion theyr best album.
IOWA is heavy and dark
Vol.3 is well....shit
The new album should be great

[kennyvspenny]

all hope is gone...this is so dark. i didn't think the darkest, most extreme metal band could be any more bleak. just knowing they still exist brings joy to my blackened heart. but joy isn't dark.

i'm so sad.

shut the hell up about 'real' music or 'real' metal its OPINION if someone likes Slipknot fair enough stop posting shit about them on a slipknot thread

[sleepwalker16]

Slipknot =/

[whitestrat279]

All hope is gone if this band keeps making music and get popualr from it.

[cakeandpiemofo]

Yawn. Slipknot has been doing the same thing for years.

[dabonehead182]

Slipknot is awesome. Been a maggot since the slipknot LP. Can't wait for Mayhem fest with them, mastodon, walls of jericho, and suicide silence

[weathergeek1009]

"Slipknot" was ****ing amazing.
"Iowa" was ****ing amazing.
"Vol. 3" was ****ing amazing.
This album will be ****ing amazing.

Where's this Iowa stuff coming from. It doesn't sound like Iowa to me but a cross between Iowa and Vol 3.

[DeathForAll]

Volume 3 was lame.

Slipknot was nu metal.
Iowa was metal.
Volume 3 was mainstream.



By the way, this song would be alright if he didn't do blast beats throughout it.

dude finally

now I'm ready

for the awesome album

[RUSTDOGG666]

sweet. new song by slipknot before album is released. this will rock.

[SealCubMassacre]

I've got this song. Talk about stepping away from nu-metal, they've turned into a really great metal band, almost death metal.

[Uranutan]

[Uranutan]

It's not much compared to what NIN or Radiohead did with free music, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

[FearBefore]

The song has a Deicide feel to it, (minus the lyrics.) As long as they keep the intensity of this song but LOSE the blast beats, we could have an awesome CD heading our way. It's safe to say, I won't be impressed if it is all machine gun drumming and grinding.

[ReeseKillsHIV]

That song was annoying. Slipknot should stop ruining their barely good legacy [ Iowa was pretty good. ] and just quit.

[grille]

i dont have to much hope for this album. but ill see them live when they come to sweden

[metalist86435]

Slipknot desperately jumping on the deathcore trend hoping to cash in

[fr33t0m]

yay, more "metal" for people who don't know anything about metal.

[GuitarFreak664]

Interested to see what they put out.

[Lasyk]

YES SLIPKNOT!!! CANT WAIT TILL TOMORROW!!

[heartagram256]

SlipknoT is back. For those of you who dont like it, **** you. They won't die. And for those of you who do like it, stay (sic).

[Metal_Hed_23]

My cousin went with clown to pick up the new masks a couple months ago and he said they were tight!

sweet masks and sweet music!

[JoshyJordison]

yeah I agree...It just sounds like they are trying too hard to not become mainstream

I agree but at the same time i guaranty that if it sounded all soft and radio friendly everyone would be flaming the hell out of it too...I thought the song was alright

the song is ok ,probably one of the best things you can hear on the radio nowadays anyhow.

[heartagram256]

Got the new song. Its so close to being death metal its unbelievable. it sounds nothing like anytrhing theyve ever done. its so.....different. its so.....dark. its so.....perfect.

its awesome. To everybody throwing out twenty differant genres just because you dont want to call them metal, jsut go away, this is heavy stuff, stop trying to classify it, for god's sake the rest of the album isnt even out yet.

The song's awesome.

[Chozz]

I love all the critics here! Go work for the Sun.

[Dr. No]

This song is terrible. Would be better without vocals, his vocals are so damn annoying.

[Mazzakazza]

Hi guys, I like Opeth and Slipknot. I'm looking forward to Slipknot's new album almost as much as I was Watershed.

[Kevin97220]

[DevilsDance76]

The song is amazing. The whole thing can be heard on Youtube or Google Video.

[HeXifY]

I thought the song was awesome! To all those people who say this metal is only for "teenagers." I can tell you for a fact that my dad is into Slipknot. I don't care if you say it's fake metal. I'm a fan of all metal. From Slipknot to Opeth to whatever. It's all awesome.

[Hamham272]

Ya know i actually enjoyed that song... and I thought I was over Slipknot. Just shows how peoples conceptions can always be misconceptions. Like half the people on here... who just need to gtfo my internetz and stop complaining about things that have nothing to with them in the slightest.

And I don't mind Slipknot, but in this interview every single one of them comes across a complete and utter bell cheese. HE COULD SELLZ NARCOTIKS 2 A NUN! LOL! Come on. Behave.

[sinfull14]

This album is going to be kick ass!Slipknot is one of my favorite bands they are god.

[Dog454]

..He seems a little bit too excited. He uses **** as an adjective twice, once as an adverb, and again as a noun...

The new track is nice though, it's kind of like a mix between Iowa and Vol 3. Really heavy, but refined and detailed.

[jman141]

already have it

[Azza Dutt]

I can't seem to find it on the roadrunner site... Anyone help?

[Azza Dutt]

oh wait midnight EST my bad XD

[Stingmaskii]

Aren't people allowed to have their own opinions about music? I hate it when people say "Band A sucks, Band B is so much better." To quote the Big Lebowski, "That's like, your opinion man." You can like both Slipknot and other bands. In fact, I like Slipknot, but Opeth and Death happen to be my favorite bands. I don't agree with the insane, obsessive Slipknot fans, but all you haters are just as bad.

[roosterfx1]

if you actauly listen to the song it sounds quite unlike anything ive heard. its quite original in my opinion. its got a strange choruse, weird samples, loads of riff changes and stuff... it just sounds like slipknot to me , which is good.

although theyle never make an album as good as their self titled ever again

[Nelvaanian]

Oh noes a Slipknot article!!!!!11 Time for all the 'true metalheads' to speak out, go listen to some Opeth!

Hell I listen to bands such as Spawn of Possession, Deeds of Flesh, Psycroptic and Suffocation and yes I love Slipknot too. Rather than judging them by how long it takes you to learn how to play their riffs in your bedroom, judge them by the ability to write good songs even though it's not necesairily the most techincal stuff out there.

This song sounds pretty cool and promising btw, can't wait for the new album.

[megatallica666]

im downloading the leak now. i liked iowa back in the day so i hope to like this now

hope its good

Well I hope this album is good I may not get it but still I hope this ablum has some kick ass song like on vol. 3

cool I'll d/l it, I only liked their first album, but I give everyone a fair shot.

Hell yeah slipknot os the best

Hell yeah slipknot is the best

I'll have to wait for a full album leak before I decide.

Oh,
and I listen to Slipknot AND Opeth.
I win?
/whatever sentiments

[thedarkblues06]

I think the song sounds like they tried way to hard, reminds me of some crappy metal bands like Cradle of Filth or Hatebreed. But then again, I'm a fan of their Vol.3:Subliminal Verses work, so that's probably why I don't like it.

[thedarkblues06]

[CSoup369]

I just hope they try to get better at playing their instruments. You can only beat the dead horse to a point before people get bored of the Drop B, 4-chord songs. I'll be optimistic though.

[NorfIrIon]

They overdid the drumming and Corey's voice has matured to the point that screaming the whole track over will not work as well. The drumming has always been significant and impressive, but they made it too loud. I've loved all of their work up to this point, but I couldn't appreciate the first minute and a half of this song, the rest was ok. It's sure to grow on me.
I respect all your musical opinions, whoever you may be.

Well now it's past 12 and here is my opinion: It was okay. not bad but not great. Perhaps i have become far too much of an elitist. I will see how the rest of the album turns out.

Exactly. People are so dense. I don't give a **** about that "troo kvlt" nonsense. Good music is good music. People put way too many boundaries on music and it's holding them back. It's gotten to the point where people bitch about a band just because of the genre they play and never even heard the damn song.

wow really their lately Trent Reznor already release like 2 albums for free please Trent Reznor is a one man band he doesn't need like 8 other members so yea failknot sucks.

[xXChimairaXx]

DANG THERE'S A LOT OF ANGRY HATERS OUT THERE.

I got an idea. If you don't like them, then why are you reading the article? And even worse, why are you commenting?

Lame. Have a nice day you angry mofos.

[mr kipling]

Well, i was very suprised to hear those blasts, must say. The riffs were buried so much though, Not good mixing.

[slayerofsouls]

Holy SHIT Slipknot has finally become listenable again!!!

[cloud041089]

i've been a fan forever, but this is almost horrible. they're trying way too hard to lose the numetal tag.

[xDogz]

Forget slipknot and get some Opeth.

What if you like both?

[Anarion614]

I don't think it's that bad, I like it. I'll download the album, probably not worth buying.

[ken20008]

Whoever said that Opeth sucks or is gay deserves to be shot.
They are one of the best bands around.
Slipknot is good, damn it, at least better than all the pop britney spears rihanna dipsh*t thats in the ears of teenage kids....
Havent heard the single yet, but will do so once my internet connection speeds up. Its uberslow now.

Seriously dude...who says yucky these days talking about bands like slipknot?

Is Slipknot too "br00tal" to be described with that word? Lol.

LOL!

[happyfinesad]

Gotta say. Song sucks balls until the chorus. Really. Sucks.

[uncere4ever]

The vocals could be better. But all in all...not too shabby.

[666-JoE-666]

That Song Is AWESOME! Just Listened To It!

Where's this Iowa stuff coming from. It doesn't sound like Iowa to me but a cross between Iowa and Vol 3.

Yeah It Does Abit... Vocals Are Abit Off Tho.. :|

[rgt42dx]

Knot isn't all that about hate and dark images compared to some examples of crazy black metal bands out there, this is song does not have that unique slipknot tribal groove to it but its direction shows improvement in musicianship, but yeah it isn't that special except that it hints how heavy and rockin this record is gonna be. like some people who posted, i got into heavy music through slipknot and other nu metal acts and i've matured to old school and complex stuff others would consider 'better' like death, thrash, progressive, and a ton of different soft and heavy genres and at the end of the day slipknot still rocks ****in hard man, why y'all hatin?

[Satan Man]

Just downloaded the new single off the roadrunner website.
Its pure ****in Slipknot!
Back the basics
Just pure ****in metal!
The new albums gonna so ****in kick ass!

[stevo_92]

just a tip for anyone who this dl is not working: use IE, firefox doesn't dl it.

[G_MaN_69]

The song kicks ass!!! just like the whole f!!king album will!!! slipknot will rule 2008!

[Toolshed#9]

Monster masks are pretty cool.

If you're 12.

[chewablemoo]

Why do people like them?

[Kurnalklank]

if this is the best song on the album i will be very disappointed like the final third of the song is ok but the rest is PANTS

[TiDyCaTT900]

Im so sick of people saying I liked this band..but then I grew up.
I mean..yes I have done the same thing, grew and started hearing way better stuff...but why the F do you havt to say they suck?
I started on bands like this, just cuz they dont have the prowess of other bands doesnt mean they suck.

[Dave6sic6]

This sample is awsome =)
For all Slipknot hates go away =) theres no point to leave a comment JUST to slag them off, God your sad.

[Hp312]

well, i've heard the song now, the fisrt minute is shite, but after that it ain't half bad

**** all the haters man! i grew up with bands like slipknot and yeah i listen to other music now and all ... but i am really looking forward to there new effort! and also looking forward to see them at reading! so everyone who has a problem can sit in there dark room and discuss about who is the most technical band in the world or whatever

[Toolshed#9]

I actually listened to it now.

Everything towards the chorus sounded like a bunch of retarded 5 year olds inside a container hammering it from the inside.

The chorus wasn't that dreadful thought.

Well all i can say on the new song is its just a bit too much "wanna-be" death metal. I mean theres any so much blast beats you can tolerate....so a leeson for you all kids, wana good death metal, go listen to Nile. or just decent metal try iced earth or dream theater...but be warned...they're greatness may be a lil too much for you lil "maggot" minds

I love both Nile and Dream Theater, but i think Slipknot are great also
To much for your close-minded mind to take in?

[Waterboy799]

wow, all the haters really need to lighten up and realize that calling Slipknot a shit band does not add inches to your penis....and this is coming from someone who listens to "real" metal.

The new track was pretty good i think, even though the verses took a little getting used to at first. Corey's voice got a lot better since Vol. 3 came out.

[rgt42dx]

oh no don't you diss rihanna!

[StringsofBlack]

I really like Slipknot, but that song was awful

*checked*

hahafair point well i also like slipknot, mainly vol3 which was a great album, the other 2 are okay. I was just saying that the new song is a bit crap and sounds like they're trying too hard to be death metal or whatever.

People...perfect example of ignorant people saying the wrong thing in the wrong place. I see you don't know shit about deathcore then...go listen to Job For a Cowboy or Black Dahlia Murder and you got deathcore. I don't like deathcore but your comment tops all stupid comments i have EVER seen.

Yeah theres nothing special about the track. Its Slipknot theres not much to expect, but finally they have a ****ing solo that isn't 3 seconds ****ing long. If they think they're so goddamn bad ass why cant they do better?!!?

I'm not kidding. I used to love these guys, but then I started listening to waaaaay better things. This stuff just seems like 8th grader shit. Sorry, it just pisses me off that they can't do better.

^ what he said.

This track is a piss take.

[espplayer400]

IF YOUR 555 THEN IM ???

[jjaw]

ohhh, this is goingto bee sooo GOOD! back to the roots ey? (a bit of the base-riff reminded me of divine heresey at first, to be honest though ... ) ah well let's se what the disc gives us when it's released! stay heavy evrybody!

[grille]

It feels more like death metal riffs and drums. Not like there old ones. I swear that if you take the same lyrics in the begining of the song. And Death Growl in stead of sing it. It would sound AWSOME. But this doesent fit so good. But it is very good. But its just the NU-metal thing i miss in this song. Hope it will be some more of that on the otherones.

[Kenny_NJ]

i thought if they add piano layer on this song, it would sound exactly like Bleeding Through.....

[RUSTDOGG666]

okay so i finally downloaded and heard the song and in my opinion it starts out sounding like slipknot like okay this is definitely slipknots general sound. then the vocals kick in and as much as i liked coreys vocals on songs he wrote, when his vocals came on i was like what the hell? like it kicks into faster guitar playing and screaming vocals that sound like its off time. kinda unorganized i guess and like it doesn't really fit together. yes heavy guitars and screaming does mix but i think they could've worked on the timing better. i can only hope that the rest of the songs on the new album is a bit more on time and organized than this otherwise i will have to say that all hope is gone for slipknot. which is sad to say coming from me cause i'm a huge fan of slipknot. i really liked vol. 3 when most other people i heard from called the album shit. idk if they can out do the self titled and the iowa albums. have to hear the rest of this new album to see. but thats how i feel about the song. i will say its better than most of the new songs i heard from other bands that released new stuff this year. but thats about it. i'm not gonna pretend i like something and call it kick ass just because its from a band i really like. oh well theres always the old songs.

[RickyDude]

All hope is gone for me

Keep trying to download the damn song and the progress just freezes at like 54% or something, proper annoying

wow really their lately Trent Reznor already release like 2 albums for free please Trent Reznor is a one man band he doesn't need like 8 other members so yea failknot sucks.

Why are you comparing Trent to a band like Slipknot? Both bands are amazing imo. But I don't really like Trent's new stuff.

Lame. Have a nice day you angry mofos.

Cuz the article kinda stuck out nd they wanted to express their opinions, chill the **** out and try to be a little open minded. The song was mediocre anyway

I give your spelling and grammer an "EF" for epic fail. A big chunk of the song is sh*t, deal with it

[tim western]

I think it's a ****ing great song actually.

[metalmaka]

SlipKnoT is back!!

[hooli94]

ok it is a bit off but maybe they just gave us the crappiest track?? we'll have to find out.....

[Flexxus]

This sounds like they mixed up some of their old tracks. added a solo and changed the lyrics... WHATS WRONG... well i know.. This song isn't more heavy than they where... So... Knock yourself out. It sux in my opinion.

[heretic7]

I like the song, its ****in heavy, and alot deeper and shit. It kinda leans towards their older heavier shit in like IOWA but better, Vol. 3 was gr8, I wont lie but honestly I dont think it wasnt really SlipKnot, I used to be scared of them, now my christian friends are rocking out to Duality and Before I Forget. Im glad they've gone ****in heavy again, and Joeys new mask is ****in amazing.
