Slipknot Plan To Cover The Planet On Upcoming Tour

(TeamRock Radio) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has confirmed the band will "cover the planet" on tour next year, following the release of long-awaited album .5: The Gray Chapter.

And his comments about his lyrics seem to confirm speculation that lead track The Negative One could be about departed drummer Joey Jordison. The vocalist says it's a relief to see light at the end of the tunnel after the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010, and the internal turmoil that led to Jordison's dismissal last year.

Taylor tells 94.3 KILO: "There's a handful of songs on the album that are about Paul. There's a bunch of songs about the band and everything we've been through in the last four years; all the emotions we've had to deal with, the reaction from the world.

"A lot of people have no idea what it's been like. You don't understand. For me as a lyricist, being able to tell the story as honestly and darkly as I've been able to - I'm stoked for people to hear it."
