BBC Radio 1 has produced an hour-long documentary about SLIPKNOT. Titled "Hellbound", the special is hosted by DJ Daniel P. Carter who also plays guitar in KROKODIL, the band featuring SLIPKNOT touring bassist Allesandro "Alex" Venturella and shows a behind-the-scenes look at the Iowa band's recent "Prepare For Hell" U.K. tour.The documentary was broadcast by BBC Radio 1 on Tuesday, March 17 and can now be streamed at BBC.co.uk.Speaking about SLIPKNOT's future, the band's mastermind/percussionist, Shawn "Clown" Crahan, said: "I'm always trying to figure out how to let it be forever, kind of like a Van Gogh painting. They're not just gonna take one of my album covers and stick it in the Louvre [museum in Paris]. But if we can keep it going, if we can keep the philosophy and the culture going, there's no reason why kings and queens can't take it over."He continued: "Don't be surprised one day, you know, nobody in the band will be in the band. It'll all just be new people. I'll be eighty and there'll be a whole SLIPKNOT thing moving. I mean, we've got two new guys now, man. You never know my son might take over. You never know." As previously reported, SLIPKNOT guitarist Mick Thomson was reportedly stabbed in the head during a knife fight with his brother on March 11 at Thomson's Clive, Iowa home. SLIPKNOT just got back from a stint on Australia's Soundwave festival tour and will launch a spring U.S. trek on April 25 in Fort Myers, Florida, ending on May 16 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.SLIPKNOT is touring behind its new album, ".5: The Gray Chapter", which came out in October 2014 and topped the Billboard album chart six years after the release of its predecessor, "All Hope Is Gone".SLIPKNOT recently released a live video for the song "Custer", shot at 2014's Knotfest in Devore, California.
