## Resource

Jim Root has confirmed Slipknot are tracking their eighth studio album — the first without Sid Wilson, the first with Eloy Casagrande, and the first with no record label since 1998. Producer Matt Wallace is behind the board and the band went in with around fifty song ideas. Also on this episode: King Diamond breaks his silence on splitting with Andy La Rocque after forty years, explains why Gus G is replacing him, and reveals he wrote seventy percent of the band's music himself. And As I Lay Dying finish their ninth album with twelve songs recorded and only ten making the cut — so they're letting fans vote on which two get dropped.
