SLIPKNOT To Begin Writing New Material Later This Year

June 5, 2006

SLIPKNOT guitarist Mick Thomson has told Greg Prato of Billboard.com that the songwriting for the 2004's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" will begin later this year.

"We're going to start getting back together and working on stuff," Thomson told Billboard.com. "The core that writes the songs tend to get together — it's not as easy to work out stuff when you've got nine people standing in the same room. I would say we'll start working within the next few months. I've talked to [SLIPKNOT bassist] Paul [Gray] a few times. Very slowly, no pressure."

Arriving sooner will be the group's next DVD release, the follow-up to its 2002 DVD, "Disasterpieces". "It's going to be different than our last one," Thomson said. "Our last one mostly focused on the concert, and this one is going to have a lot more personal stuff on it. You get to see more stupid sh*t [laughs]. There'll be some music and stuff, but you're getting to see what our days our like. It should be a lot more fun."
