HEAVYS Weekly Breakdown,
looking at Slipknot releasing Look Outside Your Window,
Megadeth hitting #1, and more.
“It’s finally happening. Following years of speculation, intrigue and self-critique, Slipknot’s reportedly Radiohead-esque lost album, Look Outside Your Window, is seeing release this Record Store Day. The long-shelved release — an experimental set written and recorded during the sessions for 2008’s All Hope Is Gone —is confirmed to be coming out on 12-inch vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day, which takes place April 18th. The album will not technically be branded as a Slipknot release, with a full listing for this year’s RSD offerings labeling the collection as a self-titled record from Look Outside Your Window. Promo materials confirm that the album features contributions from ‘Knot members Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson and Shawn “Clown” Crahan, and it’s described as “exploring new directions with no outside expectations.” (Revolver)

“With four decades of darkness behind them, Norway’s extreme metal groundbreakers MAYHEM are celebrating an illustrious and undeniable career. They’ve stared into the abyss of personal tragedy, endured seismic shifts in the metal scene and are still refining themselves as preeminent promulgators of chaos. That’s MAYHEM’s ongoing legacy as they continue to ensnare the globe with their ”40 Years of Mayhem” ceremonies, including a headline stint on the 2025 Decibel magazine tour in North America. For diehards who were there for 1987’s Deathcrush EP and the landmark 1994 album, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and new converts alike, there is no question. MAYHEM is living up to their fiery legacy like few can.” (Mayhem Press Release)
