## Resource

On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold discusses an incredibly raw, unfiltered look into the personal life of one of metal's biggest frontmen. Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor has opened up about his intense mental health journey, revealing it took the coordinated efforts of three therapists working simultaneously to help him look at past mistakes and rebuild his life. Appearing on a recent podcast, Taylor shared that three years ago, deep-seated insecurities left him hating who he was and hurting those closest to him. He credits his wife, Alicia, for standing by him and inspiring him to re-evaluate what true success means outside of music. Plus, New York death metal pioneers Suffocation have officially locked in a massive European tour run for this coming October. The band will be bringing an absolute powerhouse of a package across the Atlantic, featuring support from Ingested, Undeath, and Eternal. We break down the full list of dates, venues, and routing. Finally, black metal outfit Abigail Williams announces they have officially commenced tracking for their highly anticipated seventh studio album. The band confirms that drum tracks are fully wrapped up with Mike Heller, and recording has resumed in earnest at Ken's home studio following a highly successful run on the European festival circuit, aiming for an early 2027 release window.
