Uncover the Mystery: Slipknot's Lost Album, Look Outside Your Window, Revealed for Record Store Day 2026
Prepare to embark on a musical journey into the unknown as Slipknot unveils its long-awaited, hidden gem, Look Outside Your Window, on Record Store Day 2026. This album, a side project by band members Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, was recorded during the sessions for Slipknot's fourth LP, All Hope Is Gone, in 2008.
Despite its initial shelving, Look Outside Your Window is now set to see the light of day, offering fans a unique glimpse into the band's experimental side. The 12-inch vinyl, limited to 2,300 copies, is labeled as a self-titled project, paying homage to the creative freedom and spontaneity that fueled its creation.
In a statement, the group shared their vision: 'We knew we were heading down a different creative path, entirely apart from Slipknot, and we followed it eagerly.' This project, named Look Outside Your Window, symbolizes their desire to explore new musical territories without the constraints of their main band.
The album's creation was a product of a chaotic time, with the band members gathering in a remote farmhouse, gazing out through a large picture window, and letting their imaginations run wild. The songs were born from this surreal setting, capturing the essence of the unknown and the unexpected.
Clown, in a Discord Q&A, promised fans that Look Outside Your Window would finally be released in 2026, after several previously teased release dates in 2019, 2023, and 2024. The album's tracklist, a testament to its eclectic nature, includes tracks like '11th March,' 'Moth,' 'Dirge,' and 'U Can't Stop This.'
Get ready to explore the uncharted territories of Slipknot's musical universe on Record Store Day 2026. Look Outside Your Window promises to be a captivating listen, offering a rare glimpse into the band's creative process and their willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of their iconic sound.
