Slipknot released "All Hope Is Gone" on August 20, 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.
The band was scheduled to play in the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2008, but was forced to cancel after drummer Joey Jordison broke his ankle.
