If you were absent from the internet yesterday, you may have missed the premiere of a new Slipknot track titled “All Out Life”. You can check out below alongside its music video and purchase it via this link. The song is potentially the first taste of their upcoming studio record, which is due out next summer. Frontman Corey Taylor said of it:
“‘All Out Life’ is a song that is trying to do 2 things: bring everyone together, but also remind everyone that the past is not something to be discarded with disdain. People are so eager to find the Next Big Thing sometimes that they shit all over the bands and artists that have come before, thus making the past feel disposable, like a dirty thing. Fuck that: why should we pay attention to your mediocre future when you can’t be bothered to celebrate an amazing past? I’d rather listen to a guaranteed hit than a forced miss. ‘All Out Life’ is the anthem that reminds people that it’s not the date on the music- it’s the staying power.”
Percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan adds:
“Right now is a very exciting time for Slipknot. We’ve been working on new music for the last two years, and ‘All Out Life’, the song and the video, is just one of many concepts in the works. It’s a fitting taste to get you to the next thing. Get ready for what’s to come. We challenge you to All Out Life.”
