Slipknot have released a short film titled Pollution which was directed by the band’s Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan.
The video comes after Slipknot began teasing clips on their social media channels earlier this week, with the 20-minute video based around the promo for Nero Forte which launched in December.
Speaking about the abstract film, Crahan says: “I set out to make a short film that makes you question your own existence, here in this reality.
“When you lay down in your bed, next to the one you love, do you ever ask yourself: Is it possible that this person could slit my throat while I’m sleeping? Enjoy. Pollution is everywhere.”
Pollution comes as the band kick off their European tour in support of their latest studio album We Are Not Your Kind, which got under way at Dublin's 3Arena last night.
Slipknot delivered a 17-song set which saw Corey Taylor and co. rip through tracks including Unsainted, Psychosocial, Vermilion, Duality, People = Shit and Birth Of The Cruel.
Fan-filmed footage from the show can be watched below.
On August 22 Slipknot will bring Knotfest to the UK for the first time, with tickets for the “mind-altering collision of music, art and culture” at The National Bowl, Milton Keynes, going on sale from 10am tomorrow (January 16) through Live Nation.
Fans can also gain access to a Live Nation pre-sale from 10am today (January 15) by signing up for "My Live Nation" on the website.
