Get ready for a blast from the past! The music industry is buzzing with the news that a long-forgotten album, 'Look Outside Your Window', will finally see the light of day on Record Store Day 2026. But here's the twist: this album was recorded way back in 2008!
This hidden gem was crafted by none other than Corey Taylor, Clown, Sid Wilson, and Jim Root during the iconic sessions for Slipknot's album 'All Hope Is Gone'. It's like a secret side project that's been waiting patiently to be unveiled. And now, after all these years, it's ready to make its grand entrance into the world of independent record stores on April 18th.
The band members themselves have hinted at the album's unique charm. Clown, in 2024, described it as a timeless masterpiece, while Corey, back in 2020, emphasized its artistic uniqueness. He even suggested that the album's release was delayed because it deserved to be presented in its purest form, without any marketing gimmicks.
But here's where it gets controversial: the album was almost released earlier, but the band felt it deserved its moment in the spotlight. Corey's words, 'It's not meant to be confused or watered down,' suggest a bold statement against the industry's tendency to prioritize marketing over art. And this is the part most people miss: the album might just be the missing piece that fans have been unknowingly yearning for.
Record Store Day UK describes it as a creative exploration, free from external pressures. And now, over 15 years later, the fans will be the judges of this mysterious creation. Will it live up to the hype? Only time will tell. So, mark your calendars, music enthusiasts, and get ready to embark on a journey back to 2008 with 'Look Outside Your Window'!
