SLIPKNOT Members To Take Part In Musicians Institute Conversation Series

April 5, 2012

The Musicians Institute (MI) Conversation Series in association with Revolver magazine welcomes Corey Taylor and M. Shawn Crahan of the Grammy Award-winning metal band SLIPKNOT on Monday, April 9 at 6:00 p.m. PST. Join the conversation live online on the MI Facebook page; a limited number of questions will be selected from the chatroom.

Live audience is only open to MI students and alumni.

MI alumni should RSVP before 4:00 p.m. on Monday, April 9 by emailing [email protected].

Taylor and Crahan unveiled their new film and TV production company, called Living Breathing Films, in January at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The company, said in a press release to specialize in "mystery, suspense, horror and the dark side of life," held a press conference, launch party and acoustic performance for media and festival attendees, during which Taylor and Crahan announced their initial projects.

In a statement, Taylor described the company's first, yet-to-be-named project as "very psychological," adding, "It's a study in 'Did my eyes see what I think they saw?' It's definitely going to stir the pot and get the world talking."

Both Taylor and Crahan are giving input into the first script, with Taylor telling The Pulse Of Radio that Crahan intends to direct a film at some point. The percussionist has directed all of SLIPKNOT's home videos and co-directed its music videos.

Taylor has been ambivalent about working on new SLIPKNOT material following the death in May 2010 of the group's bassist, Paul Gray, although Crahan and drummer Joey Jordison have been much more confident about the band recording again.

SLIPKNOT will headline this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival in the U.S.
