The Look Outside Your Window album will be released for Record Store Day 2026

Look Outside Your Window will release their long-awaited self-titled album for Record Store Day 2026.

The LP – which was written and recorded by Corey Taylor, Clown, Sid Wilson and Jim Root during the sessions for Slipknot’s 2008 album All Hope Is Gone – will finally, finally hit independent record stores on Saturday, April 18.

In summer 2024, Clown described LOYW as a “timeless album that allows it to be presented at any time”. Meanwhile, Corey said back in 2020 that it was “a very unique art-piece on its own”.

“It’s sort of timeless in my opinion, so I try not to worry about it too much,” he explained. “I’ve waited this long for it to be right and it just never has. We were going to release it way early on [in the cycle for We Are Not Your Kind], but this one takes precedence. It’s not meant to be confused or watered down for marketing purposes. It’s really just another piece of the puzzle and the imagination that’s missing. People might really need it.”

Via Record Store Day UK, a description reads: “Look Outside Your Window is Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson and Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan, who in the downtime during recording sessions for Slipknot’s 2008 album All Hope Is Gone, began to freely create songs for themselves, exploring new directions with no outside expectations…

“…Now over 15 years later, the fans will finally get to experience it for themselves.”

Here’s what it looks like:

Elsewhere, there’s plenty of other exciting rock and metal drops in the RSD26 mega-list: from Paramore’s All We Know Is Falling, to a 12” of Sleep Token’s single Caramel, an LP boxset of Fall Out Boy’s 2024 Madison Square Garden show, Bring Me The Horizon’s Lo-Files on 2xLP and more.
