This article is about the album. For the song, see All Hope Is Gone (song).
Untitled

All Hope Is Gone is the fourth studio album by American metal band Slipknot. It is scheduled for release on August 26, 2008 by Roadrunner Records.[1] Noted to have begun preparation in October 2007, recording was due to begin in January 2008, but was pushed back to February.[3] It will be the band's first studio release since 2004's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), making All Hope Is Gone their fourth studio album as well as the first musical output from the band since Corey Taylor and Jim Root's mainstream success with Stone Sour, Joey Jordison's stints with Korn, Ministry and 3 Inches of Blood, Shawn Crahan's side project Dirty Little Rabbits and Sid Wilson's solo project.

Recording and production

Anticipation for the band's fourth studio album began upon the release of Slipknot's previous album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), when Allmusic stated, "there's a sense that whatever Slipknot do next might be their ultimate broadcast to the faithful."[4]

Slipknot released a statement, proclaiming fans should not believe everything they read, concerning touring and recording; adding that the only official source is direct word from the band.[5]

After a negative experience with producer Rick Rubin on 2004's Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses),[6] the band announced that their fourth studio album would be produced by Dave Fortman.[2][7] Preparation of the album began in February 2008, at the Sound Farm Studio in Iowa. Unlike past releases, all of the members were on time every day and became involved in the writing process. The band wrote over thirty songs for the album.[8]

It was announced by Blabbermouth.net that "a heavier track" from All Hope Is Gone would be sent to radio stations on June 15, 2008, followed by the first single on June 30. The song planned to begin airplay on June 15, "All Hope Is Gone", has since been delayed until later into the following week.[9] The second track intended for radio stations, originally the album's first official single until confirmation of the digital release of "All Hope Is Gone", is titled "Psychosocial", was delayed by one day, and is now scheduled for airplay on July 1.[10] The first single from the album, "All Hope Is Gone", will be released as a free download through Roadrunner Records' official website during June 20, 2008, and will be followed by digital release on June 23, 2008.[10] On June 18, 2008, the album title was confirmed to be All Hope Is Gone.[10]

Musical and lyrical themes

For this release, the band has displayed interest in making All Hope Is Gone their heaviest album to date. They plan to include an expansion on the thrash metal riffing that was displayed on Volume 3, as well as more guitar solos. However, they also want to make it their most experimental record, and will be including more acoustic guitars and melodic vocals. During an interview in the February 2008 edition of Revolver, percussionist Crahan expressed a willingness for him and fellow percussionist Chris Fehn to experiment with hi-hats and cymbals which has been absent in the additional percussion in any previous work.[11]

Oh, I’ve got an absolute ton of stuff, man, I got three notebooks of ideas from the past year and a half alone. It’s so great, I think we’re gonna do something really different with this album. Different, but brutal.

— Corey Taylor

It's going to be heavy as fuck! It's going to be heavier than 'Vol. 3...' but just as weird and as experimental. We have a whole bunch of song titles, but nothing I wanna say right now.

— Joey Jordison

It was also rumored that, due to the members being unmasked in their side projects, Slipknot was going to be recording and touring this album unmasked. However, these rumors have been dismissed by many band members. Percussionist Shawn Crahan addressed this issue during an interview on The Sauce when discussing the release of their 2006 DVD release Voliminal: Inside the Nine.[12] Bassist Paul Gray confirmed during an interview that the band will be returning with a new image; regarding the masks, he stated, "It'll still be Slipknot, but we're gonna upgrade, step things up a little."[7]

In an interview on May 13, singer Corey Taylor described All Hope Is Gone as a "dark cross" between the band's two most recent studio albums,

"It's going to rip your face off...I don't think the world will be ready for this album."

— Corey Taylor[13]

Taylor, whose lyrics have traditionally been about his life, stated this album's lyrics will be less about his life and more, "bitching about what's wrong in life..."[13] Crahan said that the album is different than their first three because its "...done by a bunch of crazy guys in their 30s. That doesn't mean we're slowing down or not as intense — our brains are different, so we're bringing different emotions, different feelings and different anxieties to the table now. This record is another diagnosis of our insanity."[14]
