Slipknot are expected to release their fourth studio album All Hope Is Gone on August 26, 2008.
Preparation for the album started in October 2007 with recording pushed back to February 2008.
For this release the band has expressed an interest in making it their heaviest album to date with an expansion of the thrash metal riffing introduced on Vol. 3.
However, they also want to make it their most experimental record, and will be including more acoustic guitars and melodic vocals, as well as introducing hi-hats and cymbals to the additional percussion.
The album will be the band's first work with Dave Fortman as producer.
Along with the album, the band have debuted "evolved" masks and uniforms, which match the style of the new album.
Slipknot will headline the first ever Mayhem festival festival in July and August 2008.
In addition, the band will be playing the Reading and Leeds Festival in August 2008.
Slipknot will also be touring Australia, Europe and the UK in the latter months of 2008, with the bands Machine Head and Children of Bodom opening at their concerts.
