Slipknot's Shawn "Clown" Crahan sheds light on 'Look Outside Your Window'

In a recent interview, Slipknot percussionist and founding member Shawn "Clown" Crahan clarified important details regarding the band's infamous shelved album Look Outside Your Window. A product of the All Hope is Gone sessions, it was stylistically very different than Slipknot's usual sound, and was described as having "Radiohead" vibes. The album features extensive collaborations between vocalist Cory Taylor, Crahan, guitarist Jim Root, and turntablist Sid Wilson. 

As recently as last year, Crahan indicated that the album would still release:

It's definitely arriving next year. You have my word. The art's been done. It's been mixed. It's been mastered. It is definitely coming out in 2024 and it's such a great album. Corey [Taylor] is my favorite singer ever, and you'll never hear him sing in the same way as on this album, so it's been worth holding it back. It's such a different, timeless project.

However, Crahan provided an update during an interview with Vulture, which hinted that this may not be the case anymore:

Someone recently brought up the album Look Outside Your Window. It was a piece of art Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and myself created in 2008. We made it up the hill from the studio that we recorded All Hope Is Gone in, in Perry, Iowa. No one believes that it even exists, or that it's ever going to come out. I've always talked very highly of it and I've always said that you will never hear Corey Taylor sing like this. It's just a whole different approach in my mind. Recently, I approved all the art. I've also worked really hard to get it mixed and mastered.
