In addition to his upcoming workload with Slipknot, Corey Taylor has some big plans for the future.

“I’m starting to get material together for a solo album that I’m going to record in 2021,” Taylor tells Kerrang! in a new interview. “I’ve got about 26 songs written for it. It’s going to be the best ’90s album ever. That’s the only way I can really describe it. Some of it is a reflection of being sick and tired of this nutless rock’n’roll I’ve seen lately that is real soft. I like my rock’n’roll to kick me in the fucking nuts. That’s just me though, I’m a fucking dick!

“Other than that, I wrote a script for a horror movie that I’m really stoked about. And I just broke the skin on book five, so I’m working on that as well. I’ve got a lot of things going on, but I’m also making sure there’s plenty of time for my family, my marriage and home. God knows, you never know how much time you’re gonna get there.”

Slipknot recently announced two more headline dates in Germany in August 2020. The band will perform at Cologne’s Stadium on July 31, and at Berlin’s Waldbühne on August 7. These are in addition to Slipknot’s three shows in Hamburg, Berlin, and Dortmund in February. Slipknot also perform at Wacken Open Air on August 1.
