Matt Wallace – best known for producing Slipknot – is currently in Iowa shaping fresh tracks with the group.
Jim Root notes has over 50 riffs in development the act.
He exchanged studio time for golf at Royal Birkdale.
Five birdies in Round 1 put him among the early frontrunners in the 156-man field.
Wallace customarily spends his days with albums, yet these days he splits days between the mixing console and the last nine at St. Andrews Links.
