of Slipknot 2022’s The End, So Far was the final record under their contract with Roadrunner.
Speaking to NME about their decision not to renew the contract, Taylor explained that Roadrunner is “a completely different label than it was when we first signed him. Once you’re in the hands of people who don’t care, it’s just a fucking business. And so it happened.”
He added: “We’ve had to fight for every fucking release we’ve had because the people who are working on Roadrunner now think they know what they’re doing, but they really don’t. They tried to give us some fucking advice and we were like, “What are you talking about? What kind of group do you think we are?’
His bandmate a clown recently announced that Slipknot’s “lost” album Look Outside Your Window could be released soon after their departure from the label.
