"Slipknot" has not released new music for the past two years; recently, fans went wild as the rock band hinted at their comeback after a mysterious website appeared online; is a new album coming out soon?
According to Blabbermouth, the band's Knotfest festival's official website shows a banner that reads, "read all about it if you want to know."
When the photo is clicked, it takes you to a mysterious page called The Chapel Town Rag, which shows floating graphics with a black and red background.
The website also features nine snippet tracks that sounded like new "Slipknot" music.
The outlet mentioned that the website is an online marketplace for the band. Fans could play the snippets as well as purchase spinning graphics that contain a non-fungible token sample of an unreleased song.
At the time of this writing, all of the NFT music on the website is sold out. Slipknot has also not confirmed whether the snippets on their website will be a part of a new album or exclusive for those who have purchased the NFT.
