Recent events (2008–present) Slipknot will be returning in 2008 with their fourth studio album.[65] Preparation for the album has been noted to have started in October 2007, recording was due to begin in January 2008, but it was pushed back to February. They are aiming for a September release.[4] For this release, the band has displayed interest in making it their heaviest album to date, such as the expansion of thrash metal riffing that was introduced on Vol. 3.[66] However, they also want to make it their most experimental record, and will be including more acoustic guitars and melodic vocals,[67] as well as introducing hi-hats and cymbals to the additional percussion.[68] The album will be the band's first work with Dave Fortman as producer.[69] Along with the album, the band will debut "evolved" masks and uniforms, which match the style of the new album.[70] Slipknot will headline the first ever Rockstar Mayhem tour festival from July and August 2008.[71] In addition, the band will be playing the Reading and Leeds Festival in August.[72] Slipknot will also be touring Europe and the UK in the latter months of 2008, with the bands Machine Head and Children of Bodom opening at their concerts.[73] In May 2008, Shawn Crahan confirmed that Dimmu Borgir will also be supporting Slipknot in Scandanavia, Germany and UK[
