Thomson said the disc will show a lighter side of the masked rockers, explaining, "It's going to be different than our last one. Our last one mostly focused on the concert, and this one is going to have a lot more personal stuff on it. There'll be some music and stuff, but you're getting to see what our days are like. It should be a lot more fun." There's no title or release date but it's expected to come out later this year. Meanwhile, Slipknot singer Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root will release the second album from their other band, Stone Sour, in July.
