In a new interview with OC Weekly, Corey Taylor spoke about SLIPKNOT‘s new masks, which were unvealed earlier this week for the release of the band’s sixth studio album, We Are Not Your Kind, due on August 9 via Roadrunner.
He said: “The reason we started wearing the masks in the first place was to take the emphasis off identity and we used it to get more into the music. But now after all these years, we wear the masks to make the performance more intense. It is part of what makes a SLIPKNOT concert unique, but if you’re into music, it shines through no matter what. For us, it’s just about putting on the best show for our audience and all the fans. If your heart’s in the right place and you love it, you can’t go wrong.”
