Slipknotin Corey Taylor: ”Tulevan albumin lyriikat ovat parhaita, mitä olen koskaan kirjoittanut”

Yhdysvaltalainen metalliyhtye Slipknot on siirtymässä vuoden 2018 lopussa studion uumeniin nauhoittamaan tulevaa albumiaan julkaistavaksi vuoden 2019 aikana. Yhtyeen laulaja Corey Taylor on ollut hiljattain Full Metal Jackien haastattelussa, jossa hän on antanut tuoreen päivityksen tulevan albumin edistymisestä. Taylor kirjoittaa parhaillaan lyriikoita tulevalle albumille, ja miehen itsensä mukaan lyriikoista on tulossa parhaita, mitä hän on koskaan kirjoittanut. Taylor kertoi aiheesta seuraavaa:

“Well, it’s been a heavy couple of years for me personally. So I’m working out some things, personally for myself, which has been great. I’ve been able to grab ahold of some of the depression that I’ve been fighting and formulate the way that I want to describe it. So some of these lyrics are, to me, some of the best I’ve ever written. It’s probably the most I’ve shared in years.

Hearing some of the guys in Slipknot read and react to some of the lyrics that I’ve been writing has been fantastic. I know Clown was like, just blown away by how open and raw it all felt. It felt like the old days. It felt like the beginning when it was just – we were the wound and the fans were the scabs. Trying to get it to heal and we were all trying to heal together. That’s what this kind of feels like.

It’s been great watching the process and getting involved with the process, finally. Hearing the music that Clown and Jim and Jay and Alex and everybody else in the band has been really working on, and being able to listen to it with fresh ears and come at it from different standpoints has been really fulfilling. It’s been really, really good.”
