SLIPKNOT ANNOUNCE 25TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE REISSUE OF ICONIC SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM

Metal titans Slipknot have announced the upcoming release of the 25th anniversary deluxe edition of their groundbreaking, self-titled debut album. Slated to drop on September 5 via Roadrunner Records, this milestone release celebrates the record that redefined the genre and launched the band into the stratosphere. Pre-orders and pre-saves are available now.

Titled simply Slipknot (25th Anniversary Edition), the reissue will feature remastered tracks, expanded packaging, rare archival materials, and previously unreleased demos, including today’s newly shared “Prosthetics (Demo)”—a raw, menacing early version of the track that would go on to become a fan favorite.

Slipknot, Circa 1999 By Dean Karr

The demo captures the band at their most primal, offering an unfiltered glimpse into Slipknot’s early creative chaos. It’s rough, unrelenting, and packed with the kind of intensity that made Slipknot such a landmark release when it first dropped in 1999.

Slipknot’s debut album not only put the Des Moines nine-piece on the map, it reshaped the face of metal for a new generation. With its fusion of nu-metal, industrial chaos, and unrelenting aggression, the record has since gone multi-platinum and continues to influence heavy music worldwide.

The 25th anniversary edition promises to be a must-have for both lifelong Maggots and newcomers looking to experience the origin story of one of the most dangerous bands in modern metal.
