New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) It's been 10 years since
Slipknot unleashed its second album, Iowa, on the world.
Slipknot had impacted the music scene in revolutionary, unpredictable ways and established themselves as a way of life for their fans with their self-titled 1999 debut. But Iowa was the album that further proved the band had fully arrived and had no intentions of leaving. It was the band's statement that that they would continue to make music their way, according to their rules and always for their fans, with their middle fingers pointed firmly at the rest of the world.
To celebrate the album's decade of existence, the band is releasing a special, tenth anniversary edition of this landmark release, which will drop on November 1, 2011.
The anniversary edition will include plenty of extras for the maggots and beyond to feast upon. Disc One will comprise the original Iowa album along with a remix of "My Plague" as an added bonus track. Disc Two will include the full live audio from the legendary Disasterpieces DVD, where the band's 2002 show at the London
Arena was captured by 30 cameras and released as a concert film. The DVD will include Goat, a new film directed by M. Shawn Crahan featuring never-before-seen interviews and footage showing the madness that surrounded the Iowa era, plus four music videos.
