July 8th 2008 BlackGoat.com
As previously reported, SLIPKNOT nearly had to cancel the video shoot for "Psychosocial" on June 30 when band DJ Sid Wilson was hospitalized with a head injury before the shoot. According to the UK's Kerrang! magazine, percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan explained, "Sid's building himself a studio downtown and got attacked by a door knob. Now he's got five staples in his head." Crahan himself was almost hurt during a recent photo shoot when the floorboards of an abandoned shack collapsed underneath him.

SLIPKNOT revealed their new masks on July 1 with an exclusive set of photos at Spinner.com. Described as "creepy" and "intricate," some of the nine band members' masks have changed considerably, while others have been altered only a little.

Frontman Corey Taylor's mask has undergone the most drastic and disturbing change, now looking like it's made of "dried human flesh," as MTV.com put it. Crahan has built lots of leather and zippers into his disguise, calling to mind the "Gimp" from the movie "Pulp Fiction", while drummer Joey Jordison has added a crown of black thorns to his design.

SLIPKNOT reportedly rarely cleans their masks, despite the band's claims that they bleed, sweat and vomit into them during concerts.

SLIPKNOT will co-headline the Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour this summer with DISTURBED. The trek kicks off on July 9 in Seattle.



Quote:
Slipknot, the Grammy Award winning hard rock machine from of Des Moines, IA is back. The band will release its fourth album, All Hope is Gone, on Roadrunner Records on August 26, 2008. The album was recorded this spring in Slipknot’s home state and is co-produced by the band and Dave Fortman.



“The nine” will spend their summer laying waste to arenas in North America as they headline the first annual Rock Star Energy Mayhem Festival. As Slipknot’s first tour in three years, these dates are sure to bring the band’s legion of diehard fans, affectionately dubbed "maggots," out in full force.



All Hope is Gone is more of a statement than a record. Corey Taylor comments, "Every album we have made is a statement about that space in time. I think this era is the most mature, most beautiful and the most powerful. We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men. I think it's the best thing I've ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong."

The album promises to blend elements of 2004’s Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and 2001’s Iowa, while adding a perspective, freshness and depth that only three years apart can bring. The first single “Psychosocial” will be delivered to radio on June 30 and will be available digitally on July 1. A complete track listing will be announced shortly.



Slipknot is the ever-evolving definitive voice in hard rock music. They are pioneers of an alternative metal scene, where scarring riffs and thunderous percussion are punctuated by vocals, which seamlessly shift from brutal to melodic within a breath. The band's previous studio albums, Slipknot, Iowa, Vol.3 sad The Subliminal Verses) have all been certified platinum or better, as have their DVDs, Welcome to Our Neighborhood, Disasterpiece and Voliminal: Inside the Nine. The double live 9.0: Live holds a gold certification.

Lyrics


o1. Execute


It appears
That we have reached the edge,
That zenith where stimuli
And comatose collide.
Forty years ago, the man proclaimed
The age of the gross to be upon us,
And even though the man
Was destroying our heritage
And insulting our intelligence,
That era has become very real.
We labor for pleasure
And abhor the guilt of pressure.
My generation will go down
As the architects
Of contemporary disgust.
Some have fought and died.
Others have allowed the strong
To be butchered for a price
They themselves don't care about
And will never understand.
I myself am beleaguered
By the selfish face
Of a kind of man
That is not mankind.
Distrust in information.
Fundamentalism of opinion.
Catastrophic boredom,
And a fanatical devotion
To that which does not matter.
Where is your glory now, people?
Where are your gods and politicians?
Where is your shame and salvation?
You rage for no reason
Because you have no reason.
What have you ever fought for?
What have you ever bled for?
The face of the earth is scarred
With the walking dead.
The age of the gross is a living virus.
This is the future you have created.
This is the world you have set ablaze.
All your lies are coming true.
All freedom is lost.
All hope is gone.




o2. Gematria (The Killing Name)


All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in history and not down in flames
Meningitis
I will survive this
Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis
The time of the nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one

This is so typical
Apocalyptical
Hanging on abysmal release
Jesus
I don't need this
Don't wanna be this
Icon in the making
My hands are ******** shaking

What if god doesn't care?
What if god doesn't care...

Remember
Surrender
The time is now
Continue
We're in you... and we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left - nothings real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

What if god doesn't care?
What if god doesn't care?

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left - nothings real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

Down...

We will burn your cities down

Feed the hungry - feed them s**t
Feed them bones and politics
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes
Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life

Remember
Surrender
The time is now
Continue
We're in you...
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left - nothings real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

We will burn your cities down

America... what if "god" doesn't care?



o3. Sulfur


My Guilt and My Shame always sell me short - always feel the same
And My Face and My Soul always wear me thin - always under control
But the longest hours you'll have in your life
Are the ones you sit through to know if you're right
So I'll wait, but I pray that I'm wrong
Because I think I know what's going on

So Let Me Get This Straight... the only will is my own
I do whatever I want and stay alone
All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted
I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life
But I will always find a way to survive
I'm not a failure, but I know what it's like
I can take it or leave it... or die

STAY - You don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like Breathing in Sulfur...

My Life is undone - and I'm a sinner to most but a sage to some
And my Gods are Untrue - I'm probably wrong, but I'm better than you
And the longest hours I've had in my life
Were the ones I went through to know I was right
So I'm safe, but I'm a little outside
I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive

STAY - You don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like Breathing in Sulfur...

LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR

STAY - You don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like Breathing in Sulfur...

LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR



o4. Psychosocial


I did my time
And I want out
So abusive, fate
It doesn't cut
The soul
Is not so vibrant
The reckoning
The sickening
Back at you
Subversion
Pseudo-sacred
Psycho virgin
Go tell your classes
Go dig you grave
Then fill
Your mouth with
All the money
You will save
Sinking in
Getting smaller again
Undone
It has begun
I'm not the only one

And the rain
Will kill us all
If we throw ourselves
Against the wall
But no one else
Can see
The preservation
Of the martyr in me

Psychosocial (6x)

Oh, there are cracks
In the road we lay
From when the devil fell
The secrets have gone mad
This is nothing new
But would we kill it all
Fate was all we had
Who needs another mess
We could start over
Just look me in the eyes
And say I'm wrong
Now there's only emptiness
But I'm missing something
I think we're done
I'm not the only one

Fake and defenseless lie
(Psychosocial)
I tried to tell you first
(Psychosocial)
Your hurtful lies
Are giving out
(Psychosocial)
Can't stop the killing
I can't help
If it's hunting season
Is this what you want
I'm not the only one



o5. Dead Memories


Sitting in the dark,
I can't forget.
Even now,
I realize the time
I'll never get.
Another story
Of the Bitter Pills of Fate.
I can't go back again.
I can't go back again
But you asked me
To love you and I did.
Traded my emotions
For a contract to commit.
And when I got away,
I only got so far.
The Other Me Is Dead.
I hear his voice inside my head
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With Dead Memories in my heart.
You told me to love you
And I did.
Tied my soul into a knot
And got me to submit.
So when I got away,
I only kept my scars.
The Other Me Is Gone.
Now I don't know where I belong
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With Dead Memories in my heart.
Dead Visions in your Name.
Dead Fingers in my Veins.
Dead Memories in my Heart



o6. Vendetta


I know my uses
I have my pride
But my heart is still untamed
I learned my lessons
I've conquered death
I go on and I'm unashamed
I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
They're the darkest I have ever seen
Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
I know my voices
They tell me to believe

Another ******** accident out of control
All the attitudes will never change
My imitations are leading the way
I can't accept that I still don't find this strange

In light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile
The agony of coming home has gone away
It's everywhere
It's everyone
It's every day

Are you ready for the time of your life

I beg your pardon
I'm out of the way
A new conspiracy has taken my place
So over and over, I smell the decay
Believe what you want to - the cycle stays the same

In light of my ability to undermine
I walk away from apathy - I'm feeling fine
The agony of cynicism beckons me
It's everywhere
It's everyone
It's everything

Are you ready for the time of your life

Let's - pretend - we're not at the end
Pretend - that we have nothing left

Are you ready for the time of your life

Let's - pretend - we're not at the end
Pretend - that we have nothing left



o7. Butcher's Hook


Contrite - commercial - arrogance - leprosy
Consume the b***h - the ******** - mindless - like a child
For pity's sake - I've had all that I can take
We try - but in the end we'll see
There are no more codes
Only who is s**t
And who's still free
I was gonna change the world
With honor and aggression
No one listened - no one cared
All they saw was misdirection

Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again

I don't want you anymore
I don't need you anymore
Fingerprint of god
Your new religions covet
This vessel wasn't built to last
But I will live forever
You'll never have to say surrender
Because you're so part of it
My total honesty has no place for tomorrow
Guilty pleasures give me pain
Tell my people I can't follow

Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again

You'll never censor me
You'd better cherish me
My reason has a voice
Freedom's gone but we'll always have a choice
My present future tense
It doesn't make much sense
I'm coming after ******** you all I'm the only point of view

Violence and dollar signs
Another processed piece of s**t
You hide your fault in diamonds and give away the only
Cost - you can't delay the inevitable
Lost - don't understand the incredible path
I'm losing ground - but I won't care when I go down

Go ahead and disagree
I'm giving up again

I'm giving up again



o8. Gehenna


Do you Believe? Do you Fade like a Dream?
Let me hear you BREATHE
Let me watch as you sleep
The Sparrow’s Eyes… Promises shift into judgments
I cannot deny that you were designed for my punishments

The Blood and The Body - Control the cut so it’s seamless
Show me your Heart - Show me the way to complete this
TETHERED / to a scene I / TREASURE / can you help me?
I / SEVER/ god it’s perfect, it’s / NEVER / really perfect
Now… I can finally be myself
Cuz I don’t want to be myself

FREE MY SEVERED HEART, GIVE ME YOU - I WANT IT
(I don’t want to be myself)

I cannot maintain a semblance of Normal anymore
I’d rather feel pain than try to fit in with you anymore
I’ll throw it all away, like everybody else
I can finally be myself
Cuz I don’t want to be myself

FREE MY SEVERED HEART, GIVE ME YOU - I WANT IT
(I don’t want to be myself)



o9. This Cold Black


Mother nature is a coward (mother nature is a whore)
No more presence
No more power (I pray for death, by the hour)
Cut another smile into me (into me is all you are)
My artifice won't recognize me (you won't find me)Â... anymore

Post-traumatic war machines
The pessimists still won't believe
Throw away my past mistakes
It's all I can to feel
Let my weapons be you children
Let my armies be your damned
Try to suffer on in silence
Try to stop me if you can

Pneumatic destroyer - Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Some day - one day - we'll live our lives again

My ghosts have found their way back home
I have every right to kill my own
I am something now that never could exist
My anguish conquers all
Pay the price and watch me fall
My only key is broken - my broken key is onlyÂ... me

Pneumatic destroyer - Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Some day - one day - we'll live our lives again

You utter waste of tired flesh - it doesn't matter if you can't progress
Even now they still create me - give me your ignorance
Irritate me
I am made of the same debris - you want it all but you didn't want me
Hypocrite with no real use - I'm alive: what's your excuse?

Pneumatic destroyer - Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Some day - one day - we'll live our lives again
Pneumatic destroyer - pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Some day - one day - we'll live our lives again

We'll live our lives again



1o. Wherein Lies Continue


Thou shalt not
Kill your fathers - destroy another life
Question everything we clung to for years
Live forever - design a better death
Confuse a liar with a savior from fear
Create a myth and separate the chosen ones
Adolescent independence
Dominion
I only wanna believe
In ********' anything
But now my conscience
Is contradicting everything

The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear

Tell your mothers
They have no sons or daughters
Blame yourselves because your children are mine
We are orphans, but we are not forgotten
And we will find a way to save us this time
We can run, but we are tired of running
We're dropping seconds in a glass 'til we die
We only wanna believe in ********' everything
But we're alive
And we're not accepting anything

The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear
Annihilation

I won't control or restrain things
I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you
The means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better more

We have to save ourselves

I will never become another piece
Inside the paralytic construct I hate
Live forever? well, I would rather die
At least I'd know
I wasn't theirs to create
This is yours, but you had better choose
Before they take away your right to decide
I guess I'll never believe in ********' anything
But my solace is I can handle everything

The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear... obliteration

I won't control or restrain things
I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you
The means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better
I won't control or restrain things
I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger better
They gave to me now I give to you
The means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger better
More

We have to save ourselves



11. Snuff


Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again…

So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care. I can’t destroy what isn’t there.
Deliver me into my Fate - If I’m alone I cannot hate
I don’t deserve to have you…
My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart… when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear.
You couldn’t hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren’t my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end.
I never claimed to be a Saint…
My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go

So Break Yourself Against My Stones
And Spit Your Pity In My Soul
You Never Needed Any Help
You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself
And I Won’t Listen To Your Shame
You Ran Away - You’re All The Same
Angels Lie To Keep Control…
My Love Was Punished Long Ago
If You Still Care, Don’t Ever Let Me Know
If you still care, don’t ever let me know…



12. All Hope Is Gone


The state of the nation - violation!
A broken promise is as good as a lie.
The hell is humongous, the devil's among us
And we will burn because we won't unite!

We won't witness anymore freedom.
What does anybody do with freedom?
I would rather fight,
Than let another die.
We're the problem,
But we're also the solution.
ALL HOPE IS GONE!!!

If you want you cannot take it from me.
If you think you can, you still don't know me.
Let me tell you, when I said it, I meant it
And I will always have the right to defend it.

Fifty seconds, a hundred minutes.
The bill of rights is a bill of sale.
What will you do when the war is over?
What will you do when your systems fail!?

We have made the presence -obsolete.
What do you want?
What do you need?
We'll find a way,
When all hope is gone!

I don't know if anyone knows about this yet or if it's around the boards anywhere, but I think it's awesome and I had to share...

I'll probably be one of the people who just stand by the store while the CD is going on just to listen to it firsthand, haha.
