Although he’s still on the road with STONE SOUR, Taylor recently said that he has already begun putting together lyrical ideas for SLIPKNOT‘s follow-up to 2014’s “.5: The Gray Chapter”, adding that the material will see him at his “most autobiographical” that he has “been in years.” Taylor‘s latest comments come six months after SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan revealed that the band had “about 27 pieces of work” written for the band’s new disc.
Asked by Musik Universe if he has heard any of the music Crahan has been composing with the other instrumental members of SLIPKNOT, Taylor replied: “Yeah, I have. It’s awesome. That’s all I’m gonna say about it. It’s everything I wanted it to be.” As for the lyrics, Taylor explained: “It’s really dark. It’s probably the most autobiographical I’ve been in years. Just for the fact that I’ve been through a lot the last few years and I’ve been sitting on a lot.”
