it wasn’t a single, but Eyeless was the track that first got Slipknot noticed outside of America. Its inclusion as one of the last tracks on a Kerrang! covermount CD in March 1999 attracted much of this early attention, mainly thanks to the song’s cross-genre appeal and brain-bursting heaviness, as well as the general sense of mystique surrounding a band comprised of nine mask-wearing unknowns. By the time they made their UK live debut at the end of that year, they were already headlining the 2000 capacity London Astoria venue and, suffice to say, they never looked back from there.
