Slipknot have shared “Solway Firth,” the second new song to be released off their widely anticipated sixth LP, WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND, which will arrive August 9th on Roadrunner Records. “Solway Firth” is available now at all DSPs along with an official music video, which can be seen now below. Directed by the band’s own M. Shawn Crahan, and created with UPROXX and Amazon Prime Video, the “Solway Firth” video features exclusive footage from the new Amazon Original, “The Boys” (premiering July 26th) alongside exclusive live performance footage from Slipknot’s recent headline festival run in Europe.
“Solway Firth” follows WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND’s lead single “Unsainted,” which made a massive impact upon release with the song’s official music video, directed by Crahan, trending at #1 worldwide on YouTube for 24 hours (all videos, not just music), amassing 35 million views to date. SLIPKNOT shook the world once again following their album announcement with the worldwide live debuts of “Unsainted” and their 2018 single “All Out Life” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, both of which have become the show’s most viewed music performances of 2019 on YouTube.
Named by Vulture as on one of “36 Albums We Can’t Wait to Hear in 2019,” SLIPKNOT’s WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND is available for pre-order with exclusive bundles available at www.slipknot1.com. Produced by SLIPKNOT and Greg Fidelman, WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND follows the band’s blistering 2014 LP, .5: THE GRAY CHAPTER, which debuted Top 5 in the official album charts of 19 countries around the world, including the U.S. (#1), Japan (#1), Australia (#1), Russia (#1), U.K. (#2) & Germany (#2).
This summer SLIPKNOT will embark on their Knotfest Roadshow headline tour set to traverse across North America with Volbeat, Gojira, and Behemoth joining as special guests on all dates. Produced by Live Nation, the 29-city outing will kick off July 26th in Mountain View, CA at Shoreline Amphitheater and continue through September 8th where it will conclude with a performance at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX (see itinerary below).

SLIPKNOT shocked fans around the globe last fall with the release of the standalone single, “All Out Life.” Reaction to the track was staggering, with the official music video – also directed by Crahan racking up over 42 Million YouTube views on the band’s official YouTube channel.
Last month SLIPKNOT unveiled details of their very own craft spirit, No. 9 Iowa Whiskey, which will be available August 10th at select retailers in all 50 states and at the band’s headline Knotfest Roadshow North America tour. No. 9 Iowa Whiskey can also be obtained at select markets on the North American tour ahead of the August 10th official launch. A collaboration with the Iowa-based Cedar Ridge Distillery, No. 9 Iowa Whiskey (90 proof) will retail for $39.99 and No. 9 Reserve Iowa Whiskey (99 proof) will retail for $69.99, both which are made with corn from the award-winning distillery’s family farm in Winthrop, Iowa.
