Metalheads, brace yourselves—2025 is about to get a whole lot heavier. Slipknot, the masked marauders of the metal world, have just announced a massive tour and hinted at new music that promises to bring the brutality back in full force. Whether you’re a lifelong maggot or a newcomer to the chaos, the news is sure to send shockwaves through the community.
A Return to Their Darkest Roots
After years of sonic evolution, Slipknot is going back to what made them legendary in the first place: pure, unrelenting aggression. Frontman Corey Taylor has teased that the band’s upcoming material will be a return to their “brutal, unforgiving” sound, reminiscent of their early albums like Iowa and Slipknot. Fans who have been yearning for the band to revisit their raw, chaotic energy won’t be disappointed. In a recent interview, Taylor said, “We’re taking it back to our roots, but with all the experience we’ve gained over the years. This is going to be the heaviest, most visceral thing we’ve done in a long time.”
Slipknot’s ability to blend ferocious metal with deep emotional layers has always set them apart, and it seems 2025 will see them at their most primal, with lyrics and themes that push the boundaries of their already dark aesthetic.
2025 World Tour: A Hellish Journey
To support the new music, Slipknot has announced an epic 2025 world tour. While exact dates and locations are still being finalized, the band promises a global journey that will hit all major cities and some surprising smaller venues. Their live shows are already the stuff of legends—combining elaborate stage setups, pyrotechnics, and the intense energy of their nine members. If you’ve ever been to a Slipknot concert, you know it’s not just a show; it’s an experience.
Fans can expect to hear a mix of classic tracks, new material, and deep cuts that haven’t been performed live in years. With new masks, new theatrics, and a thirst to dominate stages worldwide, Slipknot’s 2025 tour is shaping up to be their most ambitious yet. “We’ve got a lot planned,” says percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan. “We’re pulling out all the stops to make sure this tour blows your mind.”
New Music: What to Expect
While the band has been tight-lipped about the specifics of their upcoming music, the consensus is clear—it’s going to be a punishing sonic assault. Slipknot’s last album, The End, So Far, saw the group experimenting with more atmospheric and melodic elements, but 2025 promises a hard pivot to heavier and faster songs. Thematically, Taylor hinted at a deep dive into the darker aspects of the human experience, and you can bet the new tracks will be drenched in the chaos and intensity that defines Slipknot.
Rumors of collaborations with other heavy-hitting artists in the metal and hardcore scene have also surfaced, though nothing has been confirmed. If true, these partnerships could inject even more ferocity into Slipknot’s already explosive formula.
Slipknot’s Legacy: Cemented in Blood and Fire
Slipknot has never been a band that plays by the rules. From their infamous masks to their brutal sound, they’ve forged their own path in the metal scene, gathering a rabid fanbase that spans the globe. The return to their brutal roots in 2025 is not just a nostalgic throwback but a reawakening of the raw energy that put them on the map.
For the past two decades, Slipknot has remained a dominant force in metal, with each release pushing them further into the upper echelons of the genre. Their influence on heavy music is undeniable, and with their renewed focus on intensity, 2025 is set to be a defining year for the band.
Get Ready for the Onslaught
