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, Slipknot's music runs the scale from eerily thought-provoking to utterly terrifying.

Following 2008’s All Hope is Gone 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.
