While industry rumors,\u00a0coding mishaps, and even the Iowan alternative metal band\u2019s\u00a0social media linking to\u00a0<strong>Eloy Casagrande<\/strong>, had given little doubt to the identity of their newest masked member, the below social media post makes it entirely official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Casagrande<\/strong>&nbsp;had been tipped as the lead candidate for the band\u2019s drumming position since&nbsp;he \u201cabandoned\u201d&nbsp;<strong>Sepultura<\/strong>&nbsp;this past February. Ironically though, it was&nbsp;<strong>Slipknot<\/strong>&nbsp;firing&nbsp;<strong>Jay Weinberg<\/strong>&nbsp;this past November&nbsp;that kicked off the speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Weinberg<\/strong>&nbsp;would go on to join&nbsp;<strong>Suicidal Tendencies<\/strong>\u2018s funk metal side project&nbsp;<strong>Infectious Grooves<\/strong>, which seemingly led to&nbsp;<strong>Suicidal Tendencies<\/strong>&nbsp;drummer&nbsp;<strong>Greyson Nekrutman<\/strong>&nbsp;leaving the the aforementioned crossover legends. During this time&nbsp;<strong>Slipknot<\/strong>&nbsp;would then officially recruit&nbsp;<strong>Casagrande<\/strong>&nbsp;in the weeks ahead of&nbsp;<strong>Sepultura<\/strong>\u2018s farewell tour, leaving&nbsp;<strong>Sepultura<\/strong>&nbsp;to pick up the newly available&nbsp;<strong>Nekrutman<\/strong>&nbsp;as their new drummer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Casagrande<\/strong>&nbsp;made his live debut with the chart-topping masked metal outfit&nbsp;during an intimate show in Pioneertown, CA last week. He has since also performed with them at the annual \u2018<strong>Sick New World<\/strong>\u2018 festival in Las Vegas, NV this past weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This latest configuration of&nbsp;<strong>Slipknot<\/strong>&nbsp;will be undertaking a 25th annviersary tour for their 2x multi-platinum self-titled album throughout 2024 and into early 2025, with the following dates lined up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a brief statement shared online via their social media on April 30th,\u00a0SLIPKNOT\u00a0officially welcomed ex-Sepultura\u00a0drummer\u00a0Eloy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=112177"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112183,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112177\/revisions\/112183"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/112180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=112177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=112177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=112177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
