[Dark Castle]

My roommate and I really like it 

[adace]

Pretty good song.

[ariich]

[Zook]

Twas kinda boring.

I thought I read somewhere that the Negative One was not part of the album?  Or maybe that was part of my imagination.

Edit: Oh wait, it's just not the official 1st single of it.

[TioJorge]

Good god, I couldn't stand that production. Otherwise, musically, I enjoyed it. More than I have most of their material (and the sourest of stones), as I'm not really into this kind of music all that much these days. But I'd like this a whole lot more if the drums didn't sound like they were slapping my ear holes and it didn't sound so...flat... I couldn't finish the song because of it, and probably won't even try the album if this is how it sounds. I'd get over it if I was really blown away by the music but, like I said, this was kinda on a whim. I'm surprised I didn't dislike it though.

Look what Devy has done to me...FFFFFF-

[Mladen]

That song was good, but I hope it's a grower. The song titles look OK, as well as the cover - I'm sure there will be some talk about the album title, but it seems only appropriate...

[Kotowboy]

XIX = 19 ?

[Deathless]

[Mladen]

Hoping for some European dates in the winter. 

[Zook]

4 Texas dates and not one Arizona date?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

So i've heard rumours about Krimh, Jay Weinberg, Chris Adler and now Roy Mayorga. I'm very curious at this point. Roy wouldn't be a surprise though.

[Obfuscation]

Out of those 4, I feel there's a bigger chance of it being Chris Adler but of course I don't know shit cause I don't know who it is.

Hope I'm right though.

[Genowyn]

Not that I really intend to go to any shows but that list of tourdates is a great example of why I'm glad I live an hour from Toronto and not in, say, Calgary.

Really hoping this album manages to recapture whatever happened on Vol. 3 though.

[ZKX-2099]

Adler has said it's not him.

[Obfuscation]

Adler has said it's not him.

I thought I saw more than once him playing around with the question avoiding saying yes or no.

"You know, I listened to it and I thought it sounded a little bit like me, too," he admitted. "At the moment, I just don't recall doing it.

That's some level A trolling!

I'd like it to be Lombardo

He needs a new home and he'd fit right in.

New video, new masks, and speculations about new band members. What a great time to be a Slipknot fan.

New video, new masks, and speculations about new band members. What a great time to be a Slipknot fan. 

New bassist is most likely Alessandro Venturella, who was in Krokodil, and a guitar tech for Mastodon. The bassist in the video has identical hand tattoos.

1 down, 1 to go.

[Ben_Jamin]

I liked that song and video. How they 'initiated' them by killing them, then you see them playing is great.

I enjoy the contrast in the verses and the bridge is great. I think i'll enjoy this album, it does sound like its gonna be a mix of vol.3 and their self titled.

[wolfking]

Not a bad song.  Crazy video, I don't really understand it though.

[Mladen]

Now we're talking! 

[Kotowboy]

Hope we find out all the info soon.

New bassist and drummer and why Joey left.

Here's pretty much confirmation on the Bassist Kotowboy

[sneakyblueberry]

Beefy King Diamond in the back.

[Kotowboy]

Here's pretty much confirmation on the Bassist Kotowboy

Never heard of him / them

[ZKX-2099]

Really liked that video. Can't wait for the new album.

[Kotowboy]

Custer streaming.

Pretty meh to be honest. Sounds like one of the weaker IOWA songs.

[ariich]

Listening to the new album now on Spotify, it's pretty good. not Vol 3 good, but so far it's at least on a par with All Hope, probably a bit better IMO. Only halfway through so far though.
