SLIPKNOT Stops Being Mysterious, Confirms ELOY CASAGRANDE Is Their New Drummer

Remember the days when you had to scrounge around for months looking for someone in Slipknot to screw up and accidentally reveal a new member’s identity? Well that’s not happening this time around.

Slipknot posted a new band photo on their Instagram and just outright tagged former Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande in the post. Which I guess makes sense – everyone knew it was him between the recent coding “error” and someone matching up tattoos online, but the confirmation is nice. And more importantly, congrats to Casagrande!

Slipknot played their first two shows of 2024 at the very small Pappy + Harriet’s last week and the not-so-small Sick New World festival. Both shows were Slipknot‘s first with Casagrande, of which it seems the online reception has been damn near universally positive. For evidence why, look no further than “People=Shit”. Those fills and that double bass is untouchable.
