It’s been a wild week for Slipknot. First, they announced they parted ways with Craig Jones, but then they deleted the announcement from their social media accounts. After that, they put up a message that brought you to a website where there was a video for an atmospheric-style song called “Death March.” After all that, surprise! Here’s a brand new six-song Slipknot E.P. Adderall. Check out the press release below.
SLIPKNOT have released two new music videos for unreleased music: “Memories (Adderall – Rough Demo)” can be found at www.slipknot1.com, while “Death March” can be found at www.youcantkillme.com. Both videos are directed by multidisciplinary artist and SLIPKNOT founding member, M. Shawn ‘clown’ Crahan. Alongside the videos, the band has released the Adderall EP, which collects alternate versions and reworkings of the band’s song “Adderall” (full track list below), along with non-LP tracks. The original studio version of “Adderall” is the lead-off track on SLIPKNOT’s latest album THE END, SO FAR.
Elaborating on the new EP and videos, clown remarked, “Deconstructing to continuously pave the way for evolution. At this point in the program nothing is safe.”
The Adderall EP follows “Bone Church,” a surprise standalone single released earlier this year with an accompanying M. Shawn ‘clown’ Crahan directed video piece titled “Yen – Director’s Cut (Bone Church),”– watch HERE. The “Bone Church” video has gone on to amass over one million views and counting.
Released this past September, Slipknot’s latest album THE END, SO FAR landed at #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and at #2 on the Billboard 200, marking their sixth top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200. The album also made a stunning impact worldwide with #1 debuts in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and Mexico, as well as Top 3 debuts in Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Japan, and Belgium. THE END, SO FAR is available on limited edition vinyl, CD, and cassette, with physical bundles available at www.slipknot1.com.
“The gang choruses on ‘The Dying Song (Time To Sing)’ and ‘The Chapeltown Rag’ will cut right through any crowd of the Knotfest devoted,” raved the Los Angeles Times. The FADER declared “It absolutely rips,” adding “it feels more like they are simply waving goodbye to one chapter… and preparing for the decades to come.” “A punishing new elegy,” praised Rolling Stone with SPIN adding, “it checks all the boxes of the band’s latter-day sound.” NME asserted “you can almost feel them pushing themselves,” noting “their next left turn of an era could be their most daring yet.”
Produced By SLIPKNOT and Joe Barresi, THE END, SO FAR features the singles “The Dying Song (Time To Sing),” “Yen,” – both of which feature stunning music videos directed by the band’s own M. Shawn ‘clown’ Crahan – and “The Chapeltown Rag.” The collection sees one of the world’s most popular and deeply enigmatic bands relentlessly charting new ground as they continue to redefine, revitalize, and reimagine the scope of rock music.
THE END, SO FAR follows SLIPKNOT’s widely celebrated 2019 album WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND, which marked SLIPKNOT’s third consecutive #1 on the Billboard 200. The release made a massive global impact with #1 debuts in the Official Album Charts of twelve countries around the world, including the UK, Australia, Canada and Mexico, with Top 5 debuts in an additional twelve countries including Germany, France and Sweden.
