SLIPKNOT: Unauthorized 'Documentary' To Premiere Exclusive Footage Online

September 15, 2006

"A Clown Short of Destiny", the "documentary" which follows the controversial rise of SLIPKNOT from the cornfields of Des Moines, Iowa, to the horn-throwin' crowds of Ozzfest, will premiere 20 minutes of exclusive footage on September 27, 2006 only on iKlipz.com. Ten years in the making, "A Clown Short of Destiny" chronicles the 'KNOT's alleged "attempts to disgrace their hometown hard-rock scene and the effect that had on dozens of local bands," according to MTV.com.

"The story isn't about SLIPKNOT's music," filmmaker Chad Calek explained to MTV.com in late February 2006. "I love it. I think they're one of the greatest metal-rock bands that ever lived. I own all of their records. And when SLIPKNOT exploded, they didn't owe anybody anything. ... But there's a difference between not supporting [a music scene] and trying to destroy [one]. That's the line you see them cross in this film."
