Slipknot have released their first new music in over three years. Also, are Slipknot an 8-Piece Band Now? According to Slipknot's new press photo that was sent out with the song 'Arsenal,' they're now down to eight members instead of nine.

It's a single called "Arsenal" and it comes with a video directed by Shawn Crahan. 

The track comes on the band's own label, (Sic)est Records. And though Crahan and Corey Taylor talked about the band being free agents a couple years ago, they did sign a deal to have their label distributed by Roadrunner/Atlantic Records, which has been their home for their entire career.

"Arsenal" is the first song with drummer Eloy Casagrande. It's also the first new music from the band since turning over a third of their lineup -- keyboardist Craig Jones, drummer Jay Weinberg and DJ Sid Wilson all left between the band's 2023 EP Adderall and the release of this single. 

Corey Taylor on the new offering - "It pummels. I mean it is absolutely a pummeling experience… Like it's got these great moments of hyperactivity and then complete flex." He went on to add, "It's like we've got everyone by the hair and we're just going, 'Go, Go, Go!' [mimics banging their head]."

He later stated, "We're definitely exploring the realm that we've kind of been in for a long time, and bringing in elements that we have never done before… People are gonna be like when they hear it, 'There's no way that's Slipknot. There is no actual way that that is Slipknot.' I'm here to tell you 100%, you're damn right it is."

A frightening moment on the road for Buckcherry. The band says all of its members and crew are safe following a deadly multi-vehicle crash in South Carolina early Friday morning.

According to a statement from the band, the accident happened around 2 a.m. Friday on Interstate 26 in Spartanburg County while Buckcherry was traveling as part of its Roar Like Thunder Tour.

Reports citing the South Carolina Highway Patrol say the chain of events began with an earlier crash. A driver involved in that collision reportedly exited his vehicle and stepped into the roadway, where he was struck and killed by a Toyota sedan.

It remains unclear exactly what role Buckcherry's tour bus played in the incident or whether the bus made contact with any other vehicles.

The band expressed its deepest condolences to the victim's family and thanked fans for their concern and support following the frightening incident.

Despite the crash, Buckcherry continued with its tour and its scheduled Saturday performance in Fort Lauderdale went ahead as planned.

Formed in 1995, Buckcherry is fronted by singer Josh Todd, who is the band's only remaining original member. Known for hits including "Lit Up" and "Crazy Bitch," the band continues to tour in support of its latest music.

Fans can continue to follow Buckcherry's tour schedule and official updates through the band's official channels. 

According to TMZ, Slipknot has reportedly parted ways with longtime DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson. A source close to the band claims Wilson was told late Friday that he'd been permanently removed, but no reason has been given, and neither Sid nor the band has commented publicly.

Sheri Moon Zombie is stepping behind the microphone for the first time with her debut solo single, "I Love My Robot."

The actress and longtime creative partner of Rob Zombie takes a tongue-in-cheek jab at artificial intelligence while giving a nod to the robots that actually make life easier.

The track was produced by Zeuss, who's worked with Rob Zombie and Hatebreed, while Rob himself directed the music video.

Fans looking to add it to their collection can grab it on October 30, when it's released as a limited-edition 12-inch picture disc through Nuclear Blast. The vinyl features Sheri's "I Love My Robot" on Side A and Rob Zombie's new track, "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman," on Side B. Only 600 copies will be made worldwide, making it a must-have for collectors.
