Corey Taylor has promised in numerous recent interviews that Slipknot will be once again be delving into brutal musical realms with their sixth studio album - tentatively due in 2019 - and as a statement of intent the unrelenting ‘All Out Life’ doesn’t disappoint.
Commenting on the track, Corey said: “All Out Life is a song that is trying to do two things: bring everyone together, but also remind everyone that the past is not something to be discarded with disdain.
“People are so eager to find the ‘Next Big Thing’ sometimes, that they s--- all over the bands and artists that have come before, thus making the past feel disposable, like a dirty thing.
“F--- that: why should we pay attention to your mediocre future when you can’t be bothered to celebrate an amazing past? I’d rather listen to a guaranteed hit than a forced miss. All Out Life is the anthem that reminds people that it’s not the date on the music - it’s the staying power.”

“It’s a fitting taste to get you to the next thing. Get ready for what’s to come. We challenge you to All Out Life.”
