Only day's after Slipknot released ‘The Devil in I', the first single off it's new album the band released full details about their highly anticipated 5th studio album 'The Grey Chapter'. It's the first album is six years and the first since bassist Paul Gray passed away from a drug overdose two year ago. Vocalist Corey Taylor spoke about the process in a recent interview with Full Metal Jackie...

"Obviously this is the first album we’re making without Paul [Gray],” he said. “After everything we went through, there’s a catharsis that comes with this, being able to throw all the emotion and aggression out that we’ve been holding onto. At the same time, getting to be creative again. Feeling that juice coming back into us. It’s been a real positive experience just from an artistic standpoint, a lyrical standpoint. We’re making an album that’s not just a reflection. Let’s just get new music out there. There’s something very vital with what we’re trying to do. There’s something very visceral with the emotion we’re playing with and trying to tell the story of a band that’s gone through hell, and yet we’re back. It’s been really fulfilling.”
