Slipknot singer Corey Taylor regrouped with his other band Stone Sour in 2017, and they released their album "Hydrograd" on June 30. Talking about his first work in cinema and the other Slipknot members' plans, in an interview with WRIF's Meltdown, Crahan revealed that "we're beginning to write some music for Slipknot for the new record. We have songs that we've written that are amazing." In December 2017, Crahan appeared on "The Jasta Show" podcast, where he stated that the next Slipknot album could be his last with the band.
