Slipknot will record again, says drummer

Following speculation that they would split after the death of bassist Paul Gray in May, drummer Joey Jordison has said that Slipknot will “absolutely” record another album.

Last month, guitarist Jim Root told the Sonisphere website: “There’s going to be a big healing process that needs to happen before we even think about whether or not Slipknot will continue. And right now that’s the furthest thing from our mind”.

However, asked if the band would record again in an interview with Fuse TV, as he continues his stint playing drums in Rob Zombie’s live band, Jordison said: “Absolutely. I just wanna thank all the fans for their support on my loss. But there will be another record, for sure”.

As previously reported, Gray’s body was found at the Town Plaza Hotel in Slipknot’s hometown of Des Moines, Iowa on 24 May by a member of hotel staff. Toxicology results following a post mortem examination found that he died from an accidental overdose of morphine and fentanyl, a synthetic morphine substitute.
