Slipknot have sent fans into overdrive after a wave of cryptic posters began appearing across major cities worldwide, including London.

The bold red designs feature the band’s unmistakable Tribal “S” logo, paired with the name of each location and a simple directive: unlock.slipknot1.com pushing fans toward a mysterious new online campaign.

First spotted across North and South America, the posters have now spread into Europe, with sightings in London including Clerkenwell Road in North London, and a photo also spotted on Braithwaite Street in East London earlier today.

Those who visit the site are met with the numbers 09.28 encircling the iconic logo, strongly hinting at an announcement landing this Monday.

The teaser campaign follows closely behind the surprise drop of the band’s latest single, Arsenal, just last week.

So what exactly are Slipknot building toward? Whatever it is, we won’t be waiting long to find out.
