Slipknot is full of mysteries lately. The band first began teasing what we thought was their unreleased 2008 album Look Outside Your Window earlier this week. Now we've got a whole different beast on our hands.
Slipknot just released their 20-minute short film "Pollution." The film was directed by percussionist M. Shawn "Clown" Crahan and is centered around the band's music video for "Nero Forte," but whose soundtrack is mostly ambient noises and foley. Crahan had this to offer about the film.
“I set out to make a short film that makes you question your own existence, here in this reality. When you lay down in your bed, next to the one you love, do you ever ask yourself – is it possible that this person could slit my throat while I’m sleeping? Enjoy. Pollution is everywhere.”
Slipknot's new album We Are Not Your Kind is in stores now.
