25th anniversary edition of Slipknot’s self-titled debut featuring unreleased demos and alternative mixes. Pressed on red & black mixed vinyl.
SLIPKNOT (25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) is a deluxe reissue celebrating the release of their iconic eponymous debut album which catapulted the band in 1999. This special release immortalizes the band’s creative process at the time when the Iowa nine went from a newly-signed fledgling metal act, to an unexpected and unstoppable cultural force that redefined heavy music for a new generation.
The newly remastered original album on the 2×LP edition—sourced from untouched masters—sounds noticeably sharper, punchier, and more visceral than previous releases. Track separation is improved, and the iconic percussion-heavy arrangements hit harder than ever, offering an even more immersive listening experience.
Originally released on June 29, 1999, Slipknot’s debut album went on to achieve 2× platinum status in the U.S., defining late‑90s nu‑metal with its mix of aggressive instrumentation, multi-percussion assault, and visceral intensity.
This anniversary reissue delivers far more than nostalgia—it chronicles the raw spirit and chaotic growth of the band’s early days and showcases the process behind one of metal’s most disruptive records. Many reviewers characterize the package as “a punk rock extravaganza” and “an archival feast for dedicated fans.”
