Slipknot fans are in for a disappointment as the band has once again delayed the release of their highly anticipated album, Look Outside Your Window, now set for 2026. This latest update was revealed by founding member M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan during a recent Discord Q&A session. Despite earlier promises, the album won’t be hitting the shelves this year.
The album has been a long time coming, recorded back in 2008 around the same time as All Hope Is Gone. Over the years, fans have eagerly awaited its release, with Clown teasing various launch dates. In 2019, there was talk of a Christmas release, followed by promises for 2024. However, the album remained elusive, shifting from one projected release date to another.
Former band members are also feeling the strain of these repeated delays. Guitarist Jim Root expressed his frustration in an interview, joking about leaking the album online if it continued to be postponed. The mounting anticipation and prolonged waiting have left even insiders like Root exasperated.
Despite the excitement surrounding any news about the album, fans have learned to take updates with a grain of salt. The constant pushbacks have left many skeptical, with the need for concrete evidence before getting their hopes up.
While the setbacks may be disheartening, they are not uncommon in the music industry. Delays in album releases are often due to a variety of factors, from creative changes to logistical issues. In Slipknot’s case, the intricate nature of their music and the band’s commitment to delivering a high-quality product can contribute to extended timelines.
Looking back on Slipknot’s career, their ability to maintain a dedicated fan base despite these delays speaks volumes about their enduring appeal. The band’s unique blend of metal and theatrical performances has solidified their status as a powerhouse in the music world, ensuring that each release is met with eager anticipation.
As Slipknot navigates the challenges of finalizing Look Outside Your Window, the band’s resilience and dedication to their craft shine through. While fans may have to wait a bit longer for the album, the promise of new music in 2026 is a beacon of hope for those eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Slipknot’s musical journey.
