Without any valid links, please do not add any genres to the album until it has been released. This will be a genre war I can sense therefore in order to reach a common consensus, before you add any genre please provide an article, video or book source specific to this album and then we will change it.

I am kinda short on time however some info in the Background section of the album can be moved over to a new Promotion section. They will be playing Knotfest the weekend the album comes out and then they'll head out on a tour with Korn and King 810 in North America dubbed the Prepare for Hell tour. Here are links if anyone is interested in adding it.

The Negative One is listed as the first single but Corey Taylor has stated it is not, it was just released as a "taster" of the album. The Devil In I is the first single. Can't remember where I read that first but it is mentioned here: [1]

Anybody else notice that? Would it be appropriate to note what that meant below the tracklist? If so, how would we do it? Apparently I can't write it on the tracklist as just a small note (I didn't write it as part of the official title but I still got reverted), so what should we do? I know there are other album examples but I can't remember which ones they were. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DannyMusicEditor ( talk • contribs) 14:00, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
I think it be a good thing to do since everyone on this page edits without discussing the changes first. And only allow some contributors. - User:PleaseConsider ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:58, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Prove it. So far I've found nothing but promo videos with possible cover art. It has been removed until proof is shown; do not change until you can source respective singles. DannyMusicEditor ( talk) 20:52, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of .5: The Gray Chapter's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Now that it's got an official music video, we need to decide whether this one should even be listed. I do know that normally on Wikipedia music videos don't count as official singles. I have looked for this in official single format and cannot find one; however I have seen some sources calling it a single and with a music video I think it's safe to call it as such, but what do you guys think?

The source I cited for the release date appears to suggest Custer got an actual release in October. It was released on the tenth of October, so I have changed it. DannyMusicEditor ( talk) 19:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
I see the official site of New York rock radio station 100 XR added "Goodbye" by Slipknot on their current playlist. They also added "Lazarus" by David Bowie on the playlist. Later, Slipknot confirmed that "Goodbye" was planned as the sixth single from .5: The Gray Chapter. "Goodbye" itself is a tribute to their members Paul Gray (bassist) and Joey Jordison (drummer). Gray died in 2010 (the title of the album being a reference to his name) and Jordison departure of the band in late 2013. If this information is true, can you created article Goodbye (Slipknot song) beginning with infobox single? Wisnu Aji ( talk) 06:58, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

AOV, Sarcastrophe, Skeptic & The Negative One all feature Thrash Metal on their genre lists. There are also quotes backing up thrash as one of the main genres featured.
"The Gray Chapter shows off just how unexpectedly wide the band's range is, going from a plaintive, atmospheric ballad like album-opener "XIX" to a thrash-inspired pummeling like "Sarcastrophe" without missing a beat." [1] "'AOV' zips into some of the thrashiest tones Slipknot's yet delivered, but that breakneck velocity only applies to the intro and bridges." [2] "The sixth of what seemed like three-hundred singles from The Gray Chapter, AOV raises the thrash metal stakes and throws the Corey fans a bone – his rabid gibbering through the verses complement his obscenely huge clean vocals in the chorus." [3] "The next track, 'AOV', starts out of the gate with a blast-beat thrash riff which blends effortlessly with a half-time double kick drum feel of the verse sections. The chorus balances the aggression of the previous verses with layered melodic vocals." [4] "'AOV' is one of the fastest in Slipknot's arsenal, with Taylor spitting words over the rapid, thrash-fuelled verses and soaring high during the chorus." [5] The chunky, dirt-displacing low-end growl of “The Devil In I,” the pugnacious thrash of “Skeptic,” the relentless attack of “The Negative One,” the brief but tantalizing flash of ’80s shred in “Nomadic,”...
