Slipknot have surprise released a brand new song, Arsenal.

The Iowa group’s first new music since 2022’s The End So Far, the song was premiered in the ‘Hottest Record’ slot on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show With Jack Saunders.

It’s the band’s first release since they shed long-standing members Sid Wilson and Craig Jones, and replaced drummer Jay Weinberg with ex-Sepultura man Eloy Casagrande. It’s also the first Slipknot release on their own (sic)est Records label.

Speaking to presenter Jack Saunders, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor describes the song as “pummelling”.

“It pummels, it is absolutely a pummelling experience,” he says. “One of my favourite things about it is, it kind of encapsulates everything that we do. Like it’s got these great moments of hyperactivity, and then at the end, man, there’s this sublime drop that just makes it. It’s like we’ve got everyone by the hair, and we’re just going, Go! Go! That to me sums up Slipknot completely.”

The chorus of Arsenal runs:

“I got a lot to fuckin’ say
And if you didn’t listen
You didn’t hear me anyway

LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO
LETS LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO”

Watch the video below:

Earlier this year, in April, core Slipknot trio Taylor, Shawn Crahan and Jim Root plus the now departed Sid Wilson released Look Outside Your Window, the arty, experimental album they recorded during the studio sessions for 2008’s All Hope Is Gone.

Shawn Crahan first revealed the existence of Look Outside Your Window during a 2018 interview with Hammer, looking back at All Hope Is Gone 10 years after its release. ‘Clown’ said that the sessions for the album were so chaotic that they split the band into two unofficial factions, leading one half of the lineup to track what would become the long-shelved music.

“While too much politics was happening in the studio, I was blowing my fucking brains out with art,” he explained. “It was a positive thing. I had my negativity and positivity, but doing that kept me equal.”

Here's your first taste of new Slipknot music since Eloy Casagrande joined the band (and Craig jones and Sid Wilson exited) called 'Arsenal.' Continue reading…

DISTANT FEATURED IN NEW METAL HAMMER ITALIA INTERVIEW AHEAD OF INTO DESPAIR

Dutch/Slovak Deathcore Powerhouse Discuss Their Most Personal Album Yet, Working With Ricky Myers of Suffocation, and Turning Real-Life Pain Into Crushing Music

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dutch/Slovak deathcore powerhouse Distant have been featured in a brand-new interview with Metal Hammer Italia , discussing their upcoming album Into Despair , their evolution as a band, their collaboration with Ricky Myers of Suffocation , and the deeply personal experiences behind their most emotionally intense record to date.
The interview, titled “Distant – In the heart of despair,” explores the creative direction behind Into Despair , which is set for release November 6, 2026 via Century Media Records .
For Distant, this album represents a major shift in perspective. While previous releases have explored fictional narratives and expansive concepts, Into Despair draws directly from real experiences involving pain, loss, suffering, trauma, and resilience.
“What could be more intense?”

Speaking with Metal Hammer Italia, Distant explained how the personal nature of the album developed naturally during the writing process.


“It happened naturally. We hadn’t planned to do anything like this; during the writing process of this record, that’s just what felt right about it at the time.”


The band also opened up about the emotional challenge of confronting those experiences through music.


“It was definitely difficult to open up on certain topics, but at the same time it was also a sense of liberation.”


That vulnerability has not come at the expense of the brutality Distant are known for. If anything, the band believes the emotional weight makes the music hit even harder.


“What could be more intense than someone who pours into their music their own traumas, doubts and their own pain?”


BACK TO THE ROOTS

Musically, Distant say Into Despair finds them returning to the fundamentals of what made the band heavy in the first place, with a renewed focus on groove, crushing riffs and devastating breakdowns.


“We are more focused on groove and heaviness. We want to leave people speechless, but also make them move their heads and even jump in some moments.”


The band also emphasized that their evolution does not mean abandoning the sound their fans have come to expect.


“The aggression without compromise and the breakdowns have not disappeared.”


RICKY MYERS JOINS “ALL WILL BE (N)ONE”

The album’s single “All Will Be (N)One” features Ricky Myers of legendary death metal band Suffocation , adding another level of sheer brutality to the track.
The collaboration grew naturally through Distant’s touring history with Suffocation and their friendship with Myers.


“We’ve done several tours with Suffocation over the last few years and Ricky became a good friend of ours, so we wanted to do something together.”


The band knew Myers’ voice would be a perfect fit for the song, and the result speaks for itself.


“This song had a part that fit his voice perfectly and the end result was just that: simply perfect!”


A RECORD ABOUT NOT BEING ALONE

At the heart of Into Despair is the idea that even the darkest experiences can become something shared.
When asked what they hope listeners will carry with them after hearing the album from beginning to end, Distant offered a simple but powerful message:


“We hope people remember that they are not alone in their suffering. We want them to be able to release all their negative emotions through this album.”


That message captures the core of Into Despair : an album built from darkness, but created as a way of connecting with others who have experienced it.

The Synth Whisperer finally cracks the code for communication between silicon and carbon-based intelligence, bringing Bellendia and Fanny to life and teaching them what it is to be human, including record shopping, bowling, and baking. When a routine diagnostic unleashes something far more powerful than expected, the trio discovers that the Briefcase has given them abilities beyond communication, and their mission to “Observe. Integrate. Synthesize. Assimilate.” begins.

Written by Maynard James Keenan, the new issue features cover art by Gus Vasquez and Ross Campbell, artwork by Marlin Shoop (“Captain Action,” “G.I. Joe,” “Unprepped”), lettering by Jack Morelli (“Afterlife with Archie,” “Peter Parker Annual,” Marvel Comics), and faux advertisements by Andy Belanger.
