Slipknot’s Corey Taylor is Writing a Horror Film
Corey Taylor is already committed to a slew of Slipknot touring in 2020, but that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing other creative projects.
We already knew that he’s working on a solo album, likely to come out in 2021 at the earliest, but Corey shared some more details about that effort as well as a horror film he’s writing and yet another book he’s working on in a new chat with Kerrang!:
“I’m starting to get material together for a solo album that I’m going to record in 2021. I’ve got about 26 songs written for it. It’s going to be the best ’90s album ever. That’s the only way I can really describe it. Some of it is a reflection of being sick and tired of this nutless rock’n’roll I’ve seen lately that is real soft. I like my rock’n’roll to kick me in the fucking nuts. That’s just me though, I’m a fucking dick!
“Other than that, I wrote a script for a horror movie that I’m really stoked about. And I just broke the skin on book five, so I’m working on that as well. I’ve got a lot of things going on, but I’m also making sure there’s plenty of time for my family, my marriage and home. God knows, you never know how much time you’re gonna get there.”
