Slipknot Get Heavier With ‘All Hope Is Gone’

Beat magazine spoke with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, where the vocalist talked about how the band’s fourth studio album ‘All Hope Is Gone’ measures up against its prior effort. “See I think this album is heavier than the last album by far,” Taylor said from his home in Des Moines, Iowa. “‘Vol. 3’ was a lot more melodic and mellow but on this album there’s a lot more attitude. I think people wanted this album to be mellower and I don’t see where they get that from. Sure, there are songs like ‘Snuff’ and ‘Gehenna’, but those are the only two slower tunes on it whereas ‘Vol. 3’ had four. I just think we just have a really good way of putting something together and when you got something that ain’t broke, you don’t try to fix it. We all went away and wrote a bunch a stuff and brought it in and just started putting it together. And I was really excited when I heard the music.”
