Corey Taylor sees no reason for Slipknot to continue

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor revealed that for him "it doesn't make sense to continue the band" following the death of bassist Paul Gray. Earlier Taylor said that group's future was uncertain, but recently he claimed that he could not imagine Slipknot without Grey.

"I'm very conflicted about whether or not I want to do anything with Slipknot, because to me, Paul was such an integral part of the band", said he.

Singer added: "I don't want to make any statements that will make me look like a fool in retrospect, but to me, right now, it just doesn't make sense to carry on with the band. Until it does, that's the way it stays for me".

Paul Gray was found dead in a hotel room in Des Moines, Iowa in June. According to toxicology tests, the cause of death was an accidental overdose.

Corey Taylor himself is currently working with his side project Stone Sour. The band's new album, titled Audio Secrecy, hit the stores yesterday.

Slipknot last to date album All Hope Is Gone hit the stores in 2008.
