The lore of the long-awaited Look Outside Your Window project is now finally reaching an arc. The enigmatic passion project consisting of Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson and Michael Shawn Crahan first began in 2008 during the All Hope Is Gone sessions and have since become the stuff of outsider art legend. 

Now, there is confirmation that the presentation will finally see the light of day, with the announcement of a Record Store Day exclusive landing April 18th. In a statement shared online, the collective spoke about the inception of the project and how the experimentation was ultimately what navigated the result. 

We knew we were heading down a different creative path, entirely apart from Slipknot, and we followed it eagerly. We called the project Look Outside Your Window as a tribute to this experimental spirit. 

Created during a chaotic time in our shared history, the songs were born late at night, in a house on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Peering out through a big picture window, we wondered about what, or who, might be lurking outside. That sense of the unknown seeped into the music itself. There were no rules; ideas could come from anywhere: subtle drum loops, bits of organ or abstract guitar noise, even samples of frogs or crickets. Guided by emotion and instinct, we let the sounds themselves point the way.
