The striking black and white photograph features Weinberg passionately playing the guitar, with an impressive pedal board at his feet and a drum stool positioned behind him. This visual encapsulates his multifaceted musical talent and creative energy.

He shares, “Though the phrase ‘New Year’s resolution’ has never really connected with me, I’ve always believed in the power of intention, and following through on setting manageable goals.” This perspective reflects a thoughtful approach to his artistry, emphasizing the importance of intention in achieving creative milestones.

Looking ahead, he states, “One of my ambitions for 2025 is to record more music in the studio — starting with my own material I’ve been writing for quite a while.” He continues, “Some of which I’ve been working away at since my early 20s.” This insight reveals that some of his creative work has been a labor of love for over a decade, showcasing his dedication to his art.

Given that Weinberg turned 20 years old in 2010, it’s fascinating to consider how some of this music could be over ten years in the making, demonstrating his long-term commitment to developing his sound and style.

Weinberg elaborates that during 2017, he experienced a “prolonged downtime from touring” with Slipknot. This break provided him the opportunity to focus on this other project, where he “had actually put together a group to play this music in a band setting.” His willingness to explore different musical avenues during this time speaks to his versatility as an artist.

“It was awesome and a great creative challenge,” the drummer reflects on this experience, noting, “I haven’t touched these songs since then, until recently feeling inspiration to pick the guitar back up and kick this stuff around again.” His journey of rediscovery highlights the cyclical nature of creativity and how inspiration can reignite passion for unfinished work.

“It’s been a fulfilling experience and I’ll tell you — I’m starting to like where these songs are headed. It feels good to finally set the intention of releasing some of this new music in the coming year,” he forecasts, building excitement for what lies ahead in 2025.

Looking forward, he adds, “I’m so looking forward to all the onstage fun that’s ahead of us,” expressing his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour dates with Suicidal Tendencies as they support Metallica in stadiums. The combination of these two iconic acts promises a thrilling experience for fans.

“And I’m equally pumped to spend considerable time in the studio, especially working on this collection of songs. Stoked for you to hear them. When they’re ready, you’ll know,” Weinberg concludes, leaving fans eager for more updates on his musical journey.
