Since the untimely passing of bassist Paul Gray earlier this year, Slipknot have been surrounded by the question of whether they would press on without one of their founding members. The simple answer is yes — at least in terms of playing big overseas festivals next year, as the band has been confirmed for Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium in June, UK’s Sonisphere in July and Brazil’s Rock in Rio in September.
In a recent interview with NME, frontman Corey Taylor said he believed Gray “would want us to keep going,” later adding, “There are some moments that are more somber than others. But when you are here to entertain, you don’t wanna spend too much time in melancholy. There is time to reflect, there is time to celebrate, and for me, dealing with loss, it’s important to celebrate life and not revel in death, to be honest.”
