In a new interview with the radio station Kerrang! Radio, presenter Loz Guest interviewed Corey Taylor, and he was asked what he thinks it is about the band’s latest studio album, ‘The End, So Far,’ that has resonated with fans of Slipknot so much.
He responded “I think it’s because we refuse to repeat ourselves ever. I mean, there’s a similarity to our previous records, obviously, but we never like to, kind of, go back over the same scorched earth, let’s put it that way. We like to challenge ourselves, you know? If we are going to challenge ourselves, it’s gonna challenge the listener, and that’s going to help them expand their own horizons when it comes to the music we are putting out.”
“There are so many things that different people love, like the heaviness of songs like ‘The Dying Song’ and ‘Hive Mind’ to the atmospheric stuff, like ‘Adderall’ and ‘Finale’. We refuse to be limited by limited imaginations. Ours is completely off the charts, so we’re gonna take you with us — kicking and screaming if need be, and we’re just gonna do it our way.”
