The identity of Slipknot's mystery new member – affectionately dubbed Tortilla Man by fans thanks to his choice of mask – has been a closely-guarded secret since a photograph of the new line-up was unveiled earlier this year.
However, users over on the Slipknot subreddit believe they may have stumbled upon a photograph which shows Tortilla Man unmasked.
The photograph shows a man of slight build – which users have pointed out crucially matches that of the new percussionist – with dark brown hair leaving a hotel alongside Slipknot guitarist Mick Thompson. Both Thompson and the unknown party are wheeling luggage out of the hotel, leading many to speculate he's the band's new member.
However, Reddit user Namao points out that the most compelling clue comes in the form of the man's footwear – which matches that worn onstage by the new member.
The new member took over on percussion following the controversial departure of Chris Fehn in March this year.
Slipknot will be releasing their sixth album, We Are Not Your Kind, on August 9 via Roadrunner Records. In the meantime, check out the ultimate timeline of how the new album came to life.
