Hailing from the "middle of nowhere"--Des Moines, Iowa--Slipknot are a true phenomenon of modern metal. Fortified with an arsenal of blistering music saturated with screams, drums, searing riffs, sampling, scratches and melody, 's music runs the scale from eerily thought-provoking to utterly terrifying.

Following 2008’s and after scooping up Kerrang! Awards for "Best Live Band" and "Best International Act" in 2009, Slipknot return to where it all started a decade previous with their self-titled debut. Hailed as a landmark in metal music, the album has--remarkably--reached platinum status in the UK and houses numerous songs--"Wait & Bleed", "Spit It Out", "Surfacing"--that still form a vital part of their live set.

This special edition features a mammoth eight extra tracks, plus a bonus DVD of rare and unseen footage from the 1st album cycle, compiled by the band’s visionary Clown. All this is packaged in a dazzling digipack with a 20-page booklet and expanded artwork.
