It has now been officially confirmed that Jay Weinberg and Alessandro Venturella are the current drummer and bassist, respectively, for Slipknot. Metal Injection got the scoop, sharing the image below, which was posted to former Slipknot drum tech Norm Costa’s Instagram account.
The band have been tight-lipped about the new members’ identities despite accidentally revealing Venturella through the music video for “The Devil In I”. Weinberg was still very much a rumor, though most fans were fairly certain he was the new drummer. It’s all out in the open now. This apparently resulted due to manner in which Costa was fired. If more details surface we’ll be sure to let you know.
