The percussionist admits he has become disillusioned with life on the road with the heavy rock group and hopes he will be able to quit or take an extended hiatus.

Crahan's wife Chantal was diagnosed with bowel condition Crohn's disease in 2001, and the star insists he would love to be at home with her and their four children.

He says, "I'm in a really weird place in my life right now. I'm at a point where I wouldn't say I'm having a mid-life crisis but... I'd love to be doing anything other than Slipknot right now.

"I've never wanted to be around my family as much as I want to be around them now. My wife is in the best health she's been in for a long while and I'm enjoying watching my kids grow up.

"I guess I don't know who I am any more and that's pretty scary."

Not Good News! We know Shawn wasn't too involved with the new album but this latest interview could mean we might not see Slipknot again after this album or certainly not for a good few years! Slipknot have always said they wont be Slipknot if all 9 of them aren't together.

Whilst taking screenshots of the latest "Psychosocial" video, we noticed ALL our screenshots were fucking shit quality! Like 200x150 or something shit.

So, we've just finished re-doing all the Music Video still shots from 1999's Spit It Out to 2006's Before I Forget. We are in the process of re-doing [2007] the Blister Exists and hopefully will be able to get high res shots of the new [2008] Psychosocial Video soon.We're just waiting for a high quality dvd rip quality video to appear.

The average res shot is around 700px now instead of the lame 200px it was before. So, this just means all the shots were taken from DVD shots so they are 100 times better quality. Check em out!

The albums first proper track. Like eyeless, people = shit, heretic anthem and the blister exists all rolled into one. Utterly immense!

Sample Lyrics: "The trial of the nine had begun / Get out of the way or you will suffer as one"


Dead Memories
Slipknots equivalent of Panteras Cemetery Gates. Hooky as hell, but as dark as shadows sandwiches at the same time. It wont fail to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end!

Sample Lyrics: "I Will never survive with dead memories in my head / Dead memories in my heart!"


Vendetta
part Rammstein, part Morbid Angel, this sludgy, low-slung, grrove-laden number sees Corey calling out the imitators and the haters!

Sample Lyrics: "The agony of coming home has gone away / Its Everywhere / Its everyone / Its every day / are you ready for the time of your life?


Snuff
The albums penultimate track is a slow burning murder ballad borne in the bleak middle ground where Stone Sour meets Slipknot. Beautiful and Disturbing in equal measure

Sample Lyrics: You never needed any help / You sold me out to save yourself

Sid Wilson says that his latest injury is "nothing to be concerned about". It's not the first time he's hurt himself in the line of duty!

Sid Wilson broke Both Heels at the opening show of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival tour after an ill-judge jump from the stage.

Sid now has casts on both his legs and vows to continue with the tour even if it means performing in a wheelchair (which he does)
