Have Slipknot started work on new album?

After cancelling his side-project Murderdolls US tour, Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has apparently begun work on material for a new Slipknot album, which he hopes will be released next year.

"It's already in motion," Jordison told Billboard. "It's definitely exciting. It's a little emotional, of course, but I think it's going to be really, really cool and I think it's gonna be a really, really great record because everyone's really involved in the process."

That said, as with anything to do with Slipknot, it's not quite as straight forward as you might think. Be sure to pick up next week's Kerrang! magazine to find out what frontman Corey Taylor has to say on the matter.

In the meantime, have your say below...

Personally, I'd rather wait for a band statement or something similar on their official sites. I'm sick of one person reporting one thing and having the rest of the media jump all over it. When the band decide what they're doing, they'll post it themselves as a whole.

I think Joey's just bored cos Murderdolls bombed so he's trying to cash in. that's what i think.

joey said they will record the bass amongst themselves (joey, jim, mick, craig, chris) for the record but when they play live they will have someone play live with the band but not on stage. he will be behind the curtain to the side of joeys kit. im glad they arent replacing paul but it would be nice for the band to make an official statement. whenever corey has been asked about the knot he always seems really negative and dont wanna talk about it. which i can understand totally but im kinda not holding my breath on this one tbh. not until they all say "its on". also im sure corey and jim would like a little bit of friggin time off seeing as theyve been touring the stone sour record for ages. lol. RIP PAUL GRAY!!!!!

My god.
How can Joey say 'they' all the time, when all the others are saying they haven't talked. Now I know Chris just got out of rehab, and Jim havent spoken to Mick in over three months.

I love Slipknot but God Im starting to lose respect. I cant keep finding excuses for their shitty way of handling stuff.

Sorry, whoever you are, but this band in particular have been through a lot of shit, so dont lose respect for them just becuase they are struggling to handle things, it's called being human.

It's looking like Joey was just trying to rustle up a bit of media attention, without talking it out with the band members. I personally don't see Slipknot lasting too much longer now, especially after reading Corey's response.
