SLIPKNOT To Tour U.S. Again In January

August 8, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports: If you have missed SLIPKNOT on this summer's Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, don't worry — the band will return for its own trip through the U.S. starting in late January, according to HardDrive Radio. It's too early for details, but fans will probably hear a lot more of the band's new album, "All Hope Is Gone", on that trek. The group is only playing one new song on the current trip, but singer Corey Taylor told The Pulse of Radio he couldn't be happier with the response the band has received. "It's very appreciative," he said. "It's been two and a half years since we played, our first show was Seattle (on July 9) and people were just so cheesed to see us, you know what I mean? It was such a great feeling. And, you know, the feedback afterward is just so good, man. People are just celebrating you being there, and if you do well, then people are just really gonna have a good time watching you."

In addition to all-new masks and costumes, SLIPKNOT's current stage show features a lift that raises percussionist Shawn Crahan high above the stage as well as a drum platform for Joey Jordison that rotates sideways, upside down and around.

"All Hope Is Gone" is due out on August 26. The first single is called "Psychosocial".

"All Hope Is Gone" will be premiered during a series of listening parties held across the country at Hot Topic retail stores on Friday, August 15 at 7 p.m. The entire disc will be played once from start to finish and fans will get to pre-order it on the spot and receive a limited edition SLIPKNOT patch.

The Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, which also features co-headliners DISTURBED, DRAGONFORCE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, AIRBOURNE and others, stops on Friday (August 8) in Toronto.

Altitude TV's "Live and Direct" show has posted "pro-quality" video footage of SLIPKNOT performing its new single, "Psychosocial", on July 13, 2008 at the Rockstar Energy Mayhem concert in Devore, California. Watch the clip below.
