Slipknot’s Corey Taylor Teases New Mask In Tour Announcement Video
The return of metal band Slipknot is being celebrated by hordes upon hordes of fans, many who have been eager to hear new music since 2008’s All Hope Is Gone. Now, with the impending October 21st release of .5: The Gray Chapter (pre-order here), fans will not only get the chance to hear new music but also to see the band as they embark on the “Prepare For Hell” tour, which will see support from Korn and King 810.
One of the rituals that Slipknot has gone through is using new masks for each album cycle. And based upon below’s tour announcement video, that ritual will be continuing as vocalist Corey Taylor teased his new mask design, which looks a little like a cross between Leatherface and Heath Ledger’s Joker.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
