We Are Not Your Kind leans into Slipknot's art-horror instincts — "Unsainted"'s choir, "Spiders"' piano creep — with mid-career polish that splits the difference between Iowa's violence and radio ambition. Corey Taylor's melodic register does heavy lifting. A solid late chapter that gestures at experimentation more than it commits.

About
We Are Not Your Kind is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot. It was released on August 9, 2019, via Roadrunner Records. The album was produced by Greg Fidelman. The lead single, "Unsainted", was released on May 16, 2019, along with its music video. It is the band's first album since the firing of longtime member Chris Fehn. The title of the album is taken from a line in the band's standalone single "All Out Life", released on October 31, 2018; while not featured on the standard edition, it is included on the Japanese edition. Background Guitarist Jim Root said that the album is "the most time we've had to write a record, and work stuff out together" and that "while the industry is moving toward singles, Slipknot wanted to make an album experience, front to back."
