Slipknot Release Widely Anticipated New Album 'The End, So Far'

GRAMMY Award-winning Iowan metal icons Slipknot have released their widely anticipated new album The End, So Far.

Produced collaboratively by Joe Baressi (Queens Of The Stone Age, Soundgarden, Avenged Sevenfold, Parkway Drive) and Slipknot, The End, So Far is the follow-up to Slipknot’s 2019 We Are Not Your Kind which marked the band’s third consecutive #1 on the ARIA album chart.  

Speaking about The End, So Far, Slipknot percussionist and creative visionary M.Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan offers “New Music, new art, and new beginnings. Get ready for the end.”  

The arrival of The End, So Far was preempted by three singles, The Chapeltown Rag, The Dying Song (Time To Sing) and Yen with the latter two accompanied by eerie video clips directed by Clown.

The End, So Far sees one of the world’s most popular and deeply enigmatic bands relentlessly charting new ground as they continue to redefine, revitalize, and reimagine the scope of rock music.

The End, So Far arrives a few months after the band launched an innovative partnership with The Sandbox, a leading gaming virtual world, to bring their curated festival Knotfest into the metaverse. 

As a result of that collaboration, the band launched KNOTVERSE, a Web3 home for Slipknot/Knotfest metaverse experiences and concerts. The collaboration brings together innovators in their respective fields to create a one-of-a-kind meeting place for heavy music culture. KNOTVERSE will host Web3 experiences curated by Knotfest and Slipknot - specifically for the culture.

The Iowa metal legends recently made the iconic visuals for ten songs, all of which pre-date the HD era. The songs given the HD treatment are Wait and Bleed, Spit It Out, Left Behind, Duality, Before I Forget, Vermillion, Vermillion, Pt. 2, Psychosocial, Sulfur, and Snuff, with the HD remastering giving many of the clips an even more sinister edge.

Since dropping their self-titled debut via Roadrunner Records in 1999,  Slipknot have quietly bloomed into the most uncompromising, undeniable, and unique presence on the planet whose influence transcends genres and generations. The musical outliers have captured a GRAMMY Award alongside 10 nominations, scored 12 Platinum / 41 Gold album certifications around the world, and logged over 8.5 billion global streams and 3.5 billion video views to date - unprecedented for a rock act in this generation.
