He tells BBC Radio 1: "People don't know what to expect from us, and that's kind of the way we like it. The Negative One isn't our single. That was just a gift for the fans. Like, we wanted them to hear a piece of the album.

"The single comes out in a few weeks, and it's completely different. It's more melodic, but it's dark, it's powerful, man. It's something different. People are gonna lose their minds when they hear that.

"The thing I love is that everyone's reactions are very, very similar. They love the fact that there's new Slipknot out. They also love the fact that it feels like old school meets new school."
