Corey Taylor told Kerrang! at the end of 2020 that he was thinking about getting to work on book number five this year ("It's taken me four-and-a-half years to get over the hangover of the last one…" the Slipknot frontman joked), and now he has revealed that he has a "concept in mind" to write about.
Speaking on 95.5 KLOS's New & Approved series (via Blabbermouth), Corey says that his next tome will be addressing "social media and the age that we live in – the 'outrage' age".
"It's starting to really kind of form in my head," he says. "I may actually write it soon, because it's really kind of out of control out there right now."
Corey continues, "I was reading about how Gen Z is trying to cancel Eminem because of one line that was in a Rihanna song that he did with her, and I'm just like, 'Is that where we are right now?' I mean, at this point, you're talking about the Salem witch trials. You're talking about America in the '20s where the KKK was a political force. You're talking about complete condemnation without context or any rationalisation for an action like that.
