Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has confirmed that the follow up to 2014's '.5: The Gray Chapter' will be with us next year.

Speaking to Resurrection Fest TV, he explained the current plan is for the band's sixth studio album to be released in the summer of 2019, with a world tour to follow.

“Right now, the plan is for us to be in the studio early next year – like, first couple of months next year," he explained. "So, a couple of months to get that going, a couple of months to get production, new masks, new outfits, new everything. And hopefully be able to come and start touring in the summer when the album comes out."

Apparently, the band have 20 songs demoed, which are "really, really good" - with plans to "find ways that everyone can hear all the songs".

"So we’ll put the album out," Corey revealed, "and then maybe we’ll release something after that. It’s something that we’re really trying to think of: giving the audience more, giving the fans more of us.

“But it’s gotta make sense – it’s gotta be Slipknot. It can’t just be something that throw out there because we can; it’s gotta have art, it’s gotta have content, it’s gotta have passion to it.”
