This is Pollution.
Overnight Slipknot have dropped a 20 minute psychadelic short film by the name of Pollution, which seems to be what they were teasing with yesterday’s nine cryptic Instagram posts.
The film is an accompaniment to their most recent video for ‘Nero Forte’ which they dropped at the tail-end of last year.
Pollution was produced by Slipknot’s creative force, Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan, who shared “I set out to make a short film that makes you question your own existence, here in this reality. When you lay down in your bed, next to the one you love, do you ever ask yourself – is it possible that this person could slit my throat while I’m sleeping? Enjoy. Pollution is everywhere.”
The film is separated into nine distinct chapters, each named with the captions of the nine cryptic videos posted to their Instagram yesterday.
