After more than 15 years of rumors, delays, and near-misses, the long-lost Slipknot offshoot album Look Outside Your Window finally has an official release date.

The record will not be released under the Slipknot name, instead arriving as a self-titled project, and will be available exclusively on vinyl for Record Store Day, April 18 via LOYW.

The album was originally recorded during sessions for Slipknot's 2008 album All Hope Is Gone.

At the time, Corey Taylor, Jim Root, M.

Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, and Sid Wilson branched off from the main band to explore a radically different creative direction — one that members have previously described as having a "Radiohead vibe." The four musicians explained the mindset behind the album: "We knew we were heading down a different creative path, entirely apart from Slipknot, and we followed it eagerly.

We called the project Look Outside Your Window as a tribute to this experimental spirit.

Created during a chaotic time in our shared history, the songs were born late at night, in a house on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

Peeing out through a big picture window, we wondered about what, or who, might be lurking outside.

That sense of the unknown seeped into the music itself.

There were no rules; ideas could come from anywhere: subtle drum loops, bits of organ or abstract guitar noise, even samples of frogs or crickets.

Guided by emotion and instinct, we let the sounds themselves point the way." The album captures a moment of pure creative freedom, removed from expectations tied to the Slipknot brand.

According to a newly announced product listing, the album is Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, who in the downtime during recording sessions for Slipknot's 2008 album All Hope Is Gone, began to freely create songs for themselves, exploring new directions with no outside expectations.

The Record Store Day pressing will feature splatter vinyl, a die-cut jacket, purple foil detailing on the front, purple flood inside the jacket, and embossed text on the back.
