Eloy Casagrande Confirms: New SLIPKNOT Music Is On The Way

SLIPKNOT Are “Cooking” New Music With Eloy Casagrande

In a new interview with Ollie Winiberg of Drummer’s Review, Eloy Casagrande confirmed that SLIPKNOT are already working on new material to follow up “The End, So Far.”

“What I can tell you right now is that we are cooking, we are doing some new music, for sure. Since I joined the band, we have been working on new ideas — exchanging guitar riffs, drum beats, having jam sessions. We have a lot of material right now. We just have to sit and put everything together… new material is coming, for sure.”

Earlier this year, Jim Root told the Turning Wrenches podcast that bringing Eloy into the band reignited their drive to write again:

“Once we got Eloy in the band, we needed to get out there and show people why he’s part of SLIPKNOT. That was extremely important to us. And that leads to now that Eloy is in the band, we need to write a record.”

Root also revealed that he asked management to pause touring so the band could focus fully on creating:

“I kind of put my foot down and was, like, ‘We need to stop, man. We just need to stop.’ ’Cause I wanna write a record, and we owe it to Eloy to write a record. We need to get Eloy in a room and start jamming, getting creative, and building songs.”

A year and a half ago, SLIPKNOT recorded a track titled “Long May You Die,” one of the first pieces created with Eloy behind the kit.

In another interview with Veja São Paulo, Eloy recalled how that chemistry began early on:

“I think that was also part of the audition. They threw new ideas at me to see what my songwriting was like. They wanted to test me in every way.”
