There was bassist Paul Gray suffering a fatal overdose in 2010, CrahanÆs 22-year-old daughter Gabrielle tragically dying two years ago and the less than amicable split from founding drummer Joey Jordison in 2013 before his passing last year. TheyÆve lived through so much. Unsurprising, then, that fans may have gasped and expected at least a hiatus when they read that SlipknotÆs new album would be called æThe End, So FarÆ. Their seventh LP marks the bandÆs last album on Roadrunner Records, the rock label that has been home to the masked menaces since 1999, when they first started scaring parents and huffing jars full of dead crows with their brutally game-changing self-titled debut. This record is about so much more about the end of a contract, but the band also arenÆt finally caving to the split rumours that have always dogged them. Frontman Corey Taylor said in a recent interview: ôNothing sells albums like drama,ö but that all the hubbub ôjust comes from the fansö. Describing 2019Æs astonishing masterpiece æWe Are Not Your KindÆ as a ôpaletteö cleanser, he says that this feels ôalmost like a resetö and ôthe end of one era and the start of the next.ö Strap in, Maggots û things are about to get weird. Opener æAdderallÆ is far more latter day Bowie than anything youÆd associate with a band once labelled as ænu-metalÆ. A pensive, mournful, woozy space-age dream with touches of jazz, prog and sharp beats that wouldnÆt sound out of place on æBlackstarÆ, the track kicks things off with a real satisfying eyebrow-raiser as Taylor delivers pretty pure vocal of ôshallow graves and deepest fearsö. æThe Dying Song (Time To Sing)Æ, with its rhythmic onslaught and guttural screams, is a little more business as usual for the æKnot as they rage against nihilism in the face of outrage culture: ôForget, deny, ignore, nice tryö. ThatÆll look cool on a t-shirt. WeÆre taken on the full gamut of SlipknotÆs sonics and moods. æThe Chapeltown RagÆ carries on their take on socially conscious pop metal with a hint of Nirvana, TaylorÆs Cobain-esque closing howl: ôWhen everything is God online, nothing isö. Starting on the subtly lighter side of tracks like æSnuffÆ and æVermillionÆ but with shades of an experimental horror soundtrack, æYenÆ sees the singer get a little dark and saucy as he offers: ôYouÆre the sin that IÆve been waiting for û your hands around my throat is all that I can think aboutö. The seduction then collapses in a riot of hard guitars and turntable madness. You can almost feel them pushing themselves. æMedicine For The DeadÆ broods with an ambient grandeur you might associate more with Tool; elsewhere pop sensibility runs through the slow- burning æ90s grunge Stone Temple Pilots-esque verses of æAcidicÆ before a fairly maniacal breakdown. æDe SadeÆ is a prog-metal beast and æFinaleÆ closes things with an assured an operatic pomp, leaving a tantalising wait for this next chapter. Slipknot fans of old may find comfort in the speedy assault of æHivemindÆ, the chugging rock of æHeirloomÆ and the guitar noodlery of æH377Æ, but even they show the band flexing their muscles. æThe End, So FarÆ may rattle many of the metal faithful, but for the prowess and lasting impression of this record alone, this is a true Slipknot record. ItÆs unlikely that many fans whoÆve been along for the whole ride would jump ship now. Advertisement Aside from the blood, the gore, the theatrics and the noise, thereÆs clearly always been much more to the bandÆs ability to shock and surprise û and now it seems their next left turn of an era could be their most daring yet. As Taylor warns on the old- school æTallica-worthy arena shredder of album centre-piece æWarrantyÆ: ôIsnÆt this what you came here for? https://slipknot1.com
