Slipknot Planning Halloween-themed Tour For All

This is a piece of news that was posted on 105.7 The Point on May 20, 2009. You can read the news below.

Slipknot will spend most of the summer on the European festival circuit, but the Iowa-based group tentatively plans one more North American run before closing the books on their 2008 album, All Hope Is Gone. Singer Corey Taylor gave us some hints about what the band has in store: "The people who put together the Mayhem festival are talking about doing a short little festival that is horror-themed. The people who are involved in it kind of view that genre the way we do, you know. We tend to go more for the psychological than for the shock, you know, the schlock, really. So we're kind of putting it together as just a kind of little cherry on the top of this crazy year-and-a-half."

Taylor will play a few solo shows before Slipknot heads to Europe.

The vocalist and his other band, Stone Sour, will head into the studio later this year to begin work on a new record.
