Clown is looking ahead to a 2025 that includes āno complainingā and a new record ā but he doesnāt mean Look Outside Your Window, which he says was ānever a Slipknot albumā.
Corey and Alicia Taylor are working on "a completely new project together"
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor is working with his wife Alicia on a new secret project.
Alicia revealed the couple's plans on Twitter last night, tweeting: "CT and I have been working on a completely new project together (like we need another hobby) and I CANāT WAIT to share it with you!"
There's no word yet on what the project with entail, whether it's musical or something completely different.
Alicia is a part of alternative, fire-breathing dance troupe Cherry Bombs, who have previously performed at Knotfest and supported Corey on last year's solo tour.

Corey has been trying his hand at a number of projects as of late. Away from the Slipknot machine, the Great Big Mouth is working on a new horror movie with Tom Savini and has started work on a new book. He's also been hard at work on his upcoming solo album.
"Iāve got about 26 songs written for it," he told Kerrang! last year. "Itās going to be the best ā90s album ever. Thatās the only way I can really describe it. Some of it is a reflection of being sick and tired of this nutless rockānāroll Iāve seen lately that is real soft. I like my rockānāroll to kick me in the fucking nuts. Thatās just me though, Iām a fucking dick!
"Other than that, I wrote a script for a horror movie that Iām really stoked about. And I just broke the skin on book five, so Iām working on that as well. Iāve got a lot of things going on, but Iām also making sure thereās plenty of time for my family, my marriage and home. God knows, you never know how much time youāre gonna get there.ā
Slipknot were recently forced to cancel their upcoming Asian tour and Knotfest Japan festival due to the coronavirus outbreak.
āIn light of global health concerns, Slipknot have decided to postpone their upcoming Asian tour, including Knotfest Japan,ā the band said in a statement.
āWhile decisions like this are not easy, the safety and wellbeing of the bandās fans always comes first. Furthermore in this case, the bands and artists, crew and local employees are also equally affected, and as such, this was the only responsible decision that could be made.
āSlipknot and Knotfest will both return to Asia very soon, and at such time that everyone can be ensured of the best experience possible.ā
