Jay Weinberg is up to something… or maybe he’s just really gotten into astrology all of a sudden. Or it could be his first solo song.
The drummer shared a somewhat cryptic message on Instagram today (Nov. 10) and fans are wondering if it has anything to do with his long-awaited solo album.
What Jay Weinberg Shared On Instagram
The 35-year-old Weinberg shared a photo of himself on Instagram today, along with a message that contained specific dates and astrological readings.
“I must admit, I’ve not often been one to study astrology. But, recently, a friend and collaborator shared a date with me that seemed to hold some significance.”
He highlighted November 20th as a “New Moon in Scorpio,” providing astrology details for the Scorpio sign that touched on “shadow work” and the need to “begin the process of transformation.”
The post concluded with “#Sandstone 11.20,25,” leaving fans curious about the meaning behind the “sandstone” hashtag.
What Jay Weinberg’s Message Could Mean
Weinberg’s message comes as he is currently on tour with Suicidal Tendencies, who are opening for Metallica during their Australia run. Beyond his role with Suicidal Tendencies, he has also performed with the funk metal supergroup Infectious Grooves since departing Slipknot in 2023.
Could November 20th be the pivotal date for revealing Weinberg’s solo music?
In a July episode of the Podioslave Podcast, Weinberg spoke about working on his own music between Suicidal Tendencies tours. “I’m working on a, for lack of a better way of putting it, like a solo album, but it’s certainly not solo, you know, in the terms of like it’s not just me,” he explained. “I’m playing all of the instruments on it, and I’m collaborating with many different vocalists who I’ve been inspired by.”
His collaboration with EDM artist Argus (Conner Sullivan) at the Field of Vision Festival in Colorado suggests he has made significant progress on his solo material.
Jay Weinberg’s Inspiration For His Solo Album
Fans should not expect Weinberg’s solo album to mirror the sounds of Suicidal Tendencies, Slipknot, or any of his previous bands.
While no official music has been released yet, Weinberg has shared the influences behind his upcoming work. During the Podioslave episode, he mentioned bands that have inspired his sound, including:
- Neurosis
- Interpol
- My Bloody Valentine
Weinberg and Suicidal Tendencies are set to continue their tour in Australia and New Zealand until November 19, just a day before the date mentioned in his Instagram post. Following this, they will embark on the ShipRocked Cruise, departing from Port Miami on January 26.
