After blowing minds (and eardrums) on the Ozzfest main stage with their nine-tiered sonic assault, not all the members of Slipknot can rest comfortably on their laurels. For guitarists #4 (James Root) and #7 (Mick Thompson), there's still work to be done.

The axe-wielding madmen are each working on solo albums during the Ozzfest downtime, according to a spokesperson for London Records, the label on board to release the LPs.

Though further details on the solo projects remain sketchy and no firm release dates have been established, the label expects both albums to drop early next year.
