Corey Taylor on the Future of Slipknot

After their record deal with Roadrunner ended, Slipknot is now free agents. The band feels that the sky is the limit and they can do anything they want. They had a strained relationship with Roadrunner towards the end, which led them to create departments in their management company to fill in the gaps left by Roadrunner. Slipknot believes that Roadrunner went from being a top metal and rock label to just another part of Warner Brothers, causing embarrassment for them. Despite being successful and selling millions of records for Roadrunner, Slipknot felt like an afterthought compared to other bands on the label.
