Dying for a taste of the new Slipknot material? You can hear a 30-second clip of "All Hope is Gone" on Amazon.  The song is the first single from the band's upcoming, currently-untitled fourth studio album, which is due out August 26th via Roadrunner Records.

The trailer resembles a horror movie in that it follows the explorations of a heavily breathing unseen individual from a first-person perspective. Yeah, it makes no sense to me either. Just watch it:
