SLIPKNOT Reveals First Details Of Debut Album Reissue

July 14, 2009

SLIPKNOT is slated to reissue its 1999 self-titled major label debut on September 9 to celebrate the record's 10th anniversary and the band's decade as recording artists.

A video message from the members of SLIPKNOT announcing the upcoming release can be viewed below.

Corey Taylor (vocals): "As you know, June 29, 2009 is a very special date for us. It marks the 10-year anniversary of the very first SLIPKNOT album. And in 10 years, it has been complete insanity. So to mark this occasion, we're offering the 10-year anniversary release."

Joey Jordison (drums): "This is 10 years of life, death, love, hate, pain, scars, victory, war, blood and destruction."

Corey: "This box set will include the first album, a bunch of deep cuts from the vault, a video showing you exactly what we had to go through in the first year and a half.

"So mark something on your calendar and go out and buy it.

"It meant a lot to us that you've been with us for this long. It's gonna mean a lot to us to check out where we've been.

"10 years is a long time for this band, and it's gonna be another 10 years. So enjoy it."

SLIPKNOT has been commemorating the upcoming anniversary for much of the past year since issuing its latest record last August, "All Hope Is Gone". Taylor told The Pulse of Radio that things couldn't be going better for the group at this point. "Everything that we've always wanted, and that we've always pictured for this band is kind of coming true in this last year and a half," he said. "You know, this is kind of the culmination of 10 years of just barreling through the mud, you know, sweating through the dark times, and this is really the payoff. And the great thing is, is that we're old enough to appreciate it."

The latest single from "All Hope Is Gone" is called "Sulfur". The album has sold 795,000 copies since coming out 11 months ago.

The band will begin a short North American run of dates on August 22 in Seattle.
