SLIPKNOT's 'Disasterpieces' Nearing Platinum Status

December 16, 2002

SLIPKNOT's "Disasterpieces" DVD debuted last month at No. 3 on Billboard's Top Video Chart and is rapidly approaching platinum-shipment status (100,000 copies),according to the band's label, Roadrunner Records.

The Des Moines, Iowa-based nine-piece, whose last album, "Iowa", came out in August 2001, are slated to reconvene next month to begin working on their third full-length CD for a late 2003/early 2004 release. While a creative direction hasn't been determined (Rick Rubin has reportedly signed on to produce),band mastermind/percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan insists the new disc will be made free of industry pressures or fan expectations.

"There is the whole overall veil that is SLIPKNOT," he tells Billboard. "We are never going to change what we are. We worked very hard to have our niche and we can't change that. However, there are all kinds of new feelings that are here right now that I think we can bring together into vibrations that we do. I think it is going to be a rather unique album."
