We are profoundly saddened by the loss of Paul Gray. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and his brothers in Slipknot. Paul was a true talent and just a great person to be around. We join the millions around the world expressing our intense grief over this loss. We’ll miss you, Paul.
-Josh, Shawn and Roy

Its been quite some time since We all got in a room together so,We're all looking forward to get down and jam Starting December for 2 weeks before the Holidays and then continue on starting January-April 2010. We have a catalog of songs to go through and from what I've been hearing from the others (Shawn,Josh,Jim and Corey) its sounding very different from the last record in every way now that there is 5 writers including myself. Some songs are heavy,dark,melodic and with a lot of color. A very well rounded record this is going to be.
