Slipknot may have missed the actual 25th anniversary of their debut album by a few months – it came out in June 1999 – but that doesn’t mean that the band aren’t plotting a release to celebrate its silver jubilee. And it sounds like it’s going to be packed with the stuff of Maggots’ fever dreams.
“I’m fully involved with putting together a reissue package, because I’m the band caretaker,” Clown tells Metal Hammer. “I’m the one that held everything over the years: all the DAT tapes from the [sound] board from all our first shows, all the videotapes from studio sessions at SR Audio and Indigo Ranch, different test mixes that we gave to other people that we said ‘No’ to at that time and that were never released, but are amazing.
