12 Hugely Anticipated Hard Rock Albums Coming In 2020 (And Beyond)
9. Look Outside Your Window - Slipknot
Slipknot really left the 2010's on a pretty high note with We Are Not Your Kind. After a bunch of legal trouble dealing with former percussionist Chris Fehn, the band came back with one of the fiercest records of their career that revitalized the entire tribe of Maggots. While the latest record was a straightforward slamfest, Clown has been hinting at the band releasing a greater sonic departure.
When discussing the band's plans recently, Shawn Crahan has talked about a project that might see the light of day entitled Look Outside Your Window. These were a bunch of outtakes that the band had been working on in 2008 that never ended up being put out. As opposed to the band's typical abrasive sound, Corey Taylor has said that these new tracks are closer to more experimental acts like Radiohead rather than Slipknot's usual sound.
Instead of the typical 9, this album was simply a project made by Clown, Taylor, guitarist Jim Root, and DJ Sid Wilson, all of whom have had a major role outside of the band's typical sound from movies to electronic music to straight-up hard rock. This may not be a familiar look for these guys, but it's certainly something that will intrigue as much as it will excite.
