SLIPKNOT’s “(sic)” has been featured in a newly released short film by Italian luxury fashion house Gucci, marking an unexpected crossover between extreme metal and high-end fashion cinema.
A brief clip of the band’s iconic track from their 1999 self-titled debut album appears in the new Gucci visual piece, which is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jonathan Glazer, known for works such as The Zone of Interest and Sexy Beast. The short film has been released online as part of Gucci’s ongoing pre-fall campaign rollout, blending atmospheric visuals with a carefully curated soundtrack that now includes one of SLIPKNOT’s most recognizable early-era songs.
In other SLIPKNOT-related news, the band recently surprised fans on Record Store Day with an exclusive physical release of their long-lost project Look Outside Your Window.
Originally recorded during the sessions for 2008’s All Hope Is Gone, the album stands apart from the band’s usual aggressive sound. The material was created by Shawn “Clown” Crahan alongside Corey Taylor, Jim Root, and Sid Wilson, and reflects a more experimental and psychedelic direction that was intentionally developed outside the constraints of a standard SLIPKNOT record.
Crahan first publicly discussed the project back in 2018, explaining that it was born out of creative downtime during the All Hope Is Gone era, allowing the members involved to explore ideas without pressure or expectations tied to the SLIPKNOT name.
While Look Outside Your Window is currently available only as a Record Store Day exclusive, new information circulating online has sparked speculation about a wider release. According to a discovery reportedly made by a Reddit user, a hidden listing briefly appeared on the Record Store Day website suggesting a global release date of Friday, June 12 at 8:00 AM.
The same listing also points to a “Go Live” date of Tuesday, May 19, which may indicate when pre-orders or official announcements could be revealed. At this stage, only CD and vinyl formats are mentioned, with no confirmation yet regarding a potential streaming release.
