According to blabbermouth.net Slipknot drummer Shawn “Clown” Crahan has mentioned again that there is still a plan in place to release a set  of 11 previously unreleased songs recorded by four members of Slipknot during the sessions of  the 2008 LP All Hope Is Gone.

Also Crahan has previously stated that he, lead singer Corey Taylor, guitarist Jim Root and DJ Sid Wilson created the  tunes at a separate studio during an the recording of All Hope Is Gone.

During an interview with Upset Magazine Crahan discussed the plans to issue the unreleased songs which are titled Look Outside Your Window.

“It’s an amazing body of work. You will never hear another Corey Taylor like this. The music and the words… it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.”

Crahan continued to say how he wants this project to have  its own time to shine rather than being a just a normal music release.

“We wouldn’t want Slipknot to hurt Look Outside Your Window, and we wouldn’t want Look Outside Your Window to be a little irritation to Slipknot. Why? Because it’s beautiful God art and people deserve it. The good news is that six months from now, April Fool’s Day 2023, we’re off the label. There are no plans to immediately release something and we haven’t talked about it, but I would imagine it’ll probably come very soon afterwards. There’s nothing else to do, and it’s ready to go. It’ll be worth the wait.”

When asked what date will  the project will be released on, Crahan responded with the following statement

“It was created because we wanted to create art, and we did, and it ended up being something that everybody’s gonna want, and they’re gonna get it when it’s right. Like we should think about having babies — only do it when we know we can be good mothers and fathers, when we know we’re not gonna walk away from each other, when we know we’re gonna be there for a reward for the child and give all of ourselves. That’s the way we tried to do it, and we did — we tried to get it out.”

In 2019 Taylor gave detail about the material on Look Outside Your Window  to SiriusXM’s show Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk as “experimental,” “super vibey” and “super melodic.” He added: “There’s something about those songs. They’re very solemn, very energetic, very artistic. For people who are used to a certain way of Slipknot sounding, this doesn’t sound anything like that. It’s much more of a rock vibe. Honestly, it’s much more of a RadioHead vibe, to be honest.”
