SLIPKNOT: 10th-Anniversary Reissue Of 'Iowa' Lands On U.S. Chart

The 10th-anniversary reissue of SLIPKNOT's second album, "Iowa", sold 3,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 136 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD has shifted 1.17 million units so far, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

SLIPKNOT had impacted the music scene in revolutionary, unpredictable ways and established itself as a way of life for its 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.

The "Iowa" 10th-anniversary edition includes plenty of extras for the maggots and beyond to feast upon. Disc One comprises the original "Iowa" album along with a remix of "My Plague" as an added bonus track. Disc Two includes 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 includes "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.
