Slipknot have signed off on a fifth LP called ‘.5: The Gray Chapter’, which will be released on 20 Oct.

The band’s first big release in over six years, it features their recently released track ‘The Negative One’ and newly previewing lead single ‘The Devil In I’. And its title, unmistakably, is a nod to the band’s late bassist Paul Gray, who died from an accidental overdose in 2010.

Giving an insight into what it was like for him and his bandmates to go into the studio without Gray, vocalist Corey Taylor told The Pulse Of Radio: “It was almost like getting to know each other again”.

He went on: “We were all kind of grieving in our own way and dealing with things in our own way, and knowing that we had to be healthy to go in, we had to be creative to go in, and knowing that we were gonna have to fill this huge void, we just kind of took it upon ourselves to make up for that emptiness by being a little bit of Paul. Like we were all a little bit of Paul in our own way”.

This is a list of the tracks on ‘The Gray Chapter’, and after that, it’s the ‘The Devil In I’ video:
