We Are Not Your Kind is the upcoming sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot. It is scheduled to be released on August 9, 2019, via Roadrunner Records. The album was produced by Greg Fidelman, and is the band's first album since .5: The Gray Chapter in 2014. It will be the band's first album not to feature percussionist Chris Fehn, as he was fired from the band in March.[1] The lead single, "Unsainted", was released on May 16, 2019, along with its music video.[2]
Background
Guitarist Jim Root said that the album is "the most time we've had to write a record, and work stuff out together" and that "while the industry is moving toward singles, Slipknot wanted to make an album experience, front to back."[1]
Promotion
Along with stating that there would be an upcoming announcement, the band revealed new masks earlier in the week. The music video for lead single "Unsainted", released on May 16, was directed by Shawn Crahan.[1] The song will be performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on May 17.[3]
