American band Slipknot has announced that they are going to change their masks. The band has released a picture giving a hint of the new masks that will be published first time in Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival in July 9th. in Seattle. New masks of Slipknot are pretty big and remind Moai of Ploynesian island Rapa Nui (Easter island).

In addition to changing their masks, Slipknot is going to release their new album in August 11th. this year. The new album has no name yet, but it will be distributed by Roadrunner Records. The producer of the new album, Dave Fortman, has previously worked with Mudvayne and Evanescence.

Slipknot’s Shawn “Clown” Crahan (percussions) has told Revolver magazine that the new album of Slipknot is completely different from Vol 3, which was their third studio album. Vol 3 sounds more melodic than its predecessors, so let’s see how the new album will sound. Vol 3 album was the first Slipknot album without “Parental Advisory” sticker.

Slipknot has enjoyed a long break since they ended Vol 3 tour in 2005. During the years members of the band have had their various side-projects. For example, Slipknots singer Corey Taylor sings in Apocalyptica’s World Collide album.

So, Slipknot is evolving. It is interesting see how the band will look with their new masks. I am also looking forward to listen to their new material. I have almost forgotten the whole band due to their silence. Hey! It is time to get back to work on stage, Slipknot!
