Expect New Music Soon: Jim Root Calls All Fans to Get Ready for Something Big
May 12, 2025
Jim Root, the iconic guitarist known for his thunderous riffs with Slipknot and Stone Sour, has sent shockwaves through the metal community with a cryptic but exciting message: “Get ready for something big.” With fans already on high alert, this could mean only one thing — new music is coming, and it’s coming soon.
Root, whose last major release was with Slipknot’s 2022 album The End, So Far, has remained relatively quiet in recent months. But over the weekend, he took to social media to share a teaser that has fans buzzing. A short video clip showed Root in a dimly lit studio, laying down what sounded like crushingly heavy guitar lines, with the caption simply reading:
“It’s almost time. Stay tuned.”
While no official details have been confirmed, sources close to the guitarist suggest that the upcoming release may be part of a solo project — something Root has hinted at in past interviews. “I’ve always wanted to explore some ideas outside the band dynamic,” he said in a 2023 podcast. “There’s a different kind of creative freedom in going solo.”
Whether it’s a solo effort, a new Slipknot era, or a surprise collaboration, one thing is certain: Jim Root is gearing up to unleash something massive. The cryptic posts, coupled with studio sightings and insider whispers, point toward a release that could drop any day now.
Fans worldwide are already speculating on social media, sharing theories, countdowns, and wishlists. Many are hoping for a darker, more experimental sound — a blend of Root’s signature aggression with unexpected twists.
Until the official announcement drops, all we can do is wait, listen, and get ready.
Stay tuned — something big is coming.
