Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has posted several photos (see below) from the studio where he is currently working on a "new project."

More details about the band, which apparently features Jed Simon (Strapping Young Lad, Tenet, Zimmer'S Hole) on guitar, will be made available "soon," according to Joey.

Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has been ambivalent about working on new material following the death in May 2010 of the group's bassist, Paul Gray, although percussionist Shawn Crahan and Jordison have been much more confident about the band recording again.

Slipknot's last U.S. performances were its own Knotfest shows, which took place last August in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Somerset, Wisconsin.

Jordison said in 2011 that Slipknot can carry on "with or without" Taylor.

Murderdolls — the band consisting of Jordison and Wednesday 13 — issued its sophomore album, "Women And Children Last", in August 2010 via Roadrunner Records.
