SLIPKNOT has unleashed "Arsenal", the first new song from the band in over three years. The anthemic release arrives with a music video directed by SLIPKNOT's M. Shawn "Clown" Crahan, and stars Jackson White.
"Arsenal" was premiered in the "Hottest Record" slot on BBC Radio 1's "New Music Show With Jack Saunders". It's SLIPKNOT's first piece of new music since the departure of longtime members Sid Wilson and Craig Jones, and the exit of drummer Jay Weinberg and addition of Eloy Casagrande. It is also the first SLIPKNOT release on the band's own (sic)est Records label following the completion of the group's two-and-a-half-decade record deal with Roadrunner.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1 presenter Jack Saunders, SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor stated about "Arsenal": "It pummels. It is absolutely a pummeling experience. One of my favorite things about it is it kind of encapsulates everything that we do. It's got these great moments of hyperactivity, and then at the end, man, there's this sublime drop that just makes it. It's like we've got everyone by the hair, and we're just going, 'Go! Go!' That, to me, sums up SLIPKNOT completely."
On "Arsenal", SLIPKNOT sound sharper than ever, the direct result of their commitment to the music, first and foremost. The track is an undeniable statement of strength in the face of diversity, and a new marker for the world to deal with and wonder how SLIPKNOT was always — and still remains — so vital and modern.
SLIPKNOT's latest album, "The End, So Far", arrived in August 2022. It marked the band's the last full-length LP before the departure of both keyboardist Craig Jones, who left the group in June 2023, and drummer Jay Weinberg, who was replaced by Eloy Casagrande.
