## Resource

Slipknot’s lineup has officially shrunk to eight members, confirmed by their new press photo alongside the release of “Arsenal.” Sid Wilson’s departure in August marks the latest chapter in the band’s ever-evolving roster, which has weathered major losses like Paul Gray and Joey Jordison. The current lineup includes Corey Taylor, Clown, Jim Root, Mick Thomson, Alessandro Venturella, Michael Pfaff, a mystery replacement for Craig Jones, and drummer Eloy Casagrande. Though no tour dates are set, studio work on new material began even before Wilson’s exit — signaling a fresh era for the iconic metal act.
