This album was recorded under crazy conditions. They spent over a year on the road and were thrown back into the studio with zero chance to rest. The guys were at each other’s throats, there was a lot of booze and drugs, and a whole lot of anger. They were sick of each other, but had to somehow coexist and create together. The result is some of the most emotional, energetic shit your ears will ever experience. Legendary band and album.

The great thing with metal & extreme music is that once you understand that it isn't just a bunch of 'angry' noise you then start to find how cathartic it can be. It can be a great release of tensions and stress and leave you feeling like you channeled any negative energy into the music and come out refreshed. It is for this reason that the majority of metalheads that you'll meet will be really great folk. It is so rare that you hear of any trouble at metal gigs or festivals. Glad to see you enjoy the Knot, whilst this is the heaviest album and probably the fan favourite, Subliminal versus (the third album) is a beautiful creation.

I'm so shocked nobody has explained IOWA (the song) to you. Corey literally drove himself into an emotional fit during the recording of the song. He stripped down naked in the booth, chugged liquor, broke a candle stick and proceeded to cut his chest open and bleed and throw up everywhere. This song was Corey going into the deepest darkest sickest parts of his mind and who he is. The song (straight from his mouth) is about him being locked alone in a room with a dead body and doing fucked up things to it. By the end he was screaming at everyone to stop staring at him which you can hear in the background if the song. This was Corey releasing all of the pent up rage and hate in life he has bottled up. Amazing reaction to the album man, can't wait for you to get to Vol. 3

Way overrated song imo for what it is supposed to be. Yes the tales about it and how it was recorded are crazy but imo there are far better songs when you're looking for an aggressive psychotic "outlet" type song by Slipknot. Scissors or Skin Ticket come to mind for me for example. I'm almost glad he cut that sh*t off at the end 🤣

It's very cool when you realize the significance behind a lot of these songs. Of course, they can all be attributed to combatting their addictions and aggression towards each other but for example: Disasterpiece "I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound" (as the lead singer explained in an interview somewhere) was directed to his bullies as a child Heretic Anthem "If you're 555 then I'm 666" they are not satanic in the slightest, but they're indicating that if people tell them to be one thing they will be the complete opposite. Kinda like differentiating themselves. Also hence the lyrics "Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm not" That song was directed to namely the pop industry and a lot of producers and labels in general that told them to sell hits that can actually appear on the radio for once

Do away with these.. preconceived notions.. judgmental ideals.. and borderline racist depiction of "black people only listen to rap".. it being your friends or otherwise The mind is like a parachute.. they work best when open.. Im sure i speak for the metal community when i say, you are very welcome here and glad to have you with us.. love seeing you react and enjoying anything, no judgement, not all metal is for everyone, each to their own be strong and believe in your own taste, cause its who you are and you shudnt shy away from that. if fools dont let you be.. let them be..

(515) was Sid SCREAMING his heart out in a separate room due to his grandpa passing away. They heard him from another room and they cried with him from how intense it was in there. They all went through A LOT (abuse, addiction, trauma and depression) when this album was recored. They used that intensity in here. There will NEVER be another Iowa for that reason. They gotta go back to the trauma to get to this point again since a lot of fans want another Iowa.

I remember buying this album on CD in 2005 at a Record store in Boston that was going out of business. I also bought Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast and The Offspring's Smash. I'll always remember the young girl and guy at the counter looking at me approvingly, with some knowing smiles, and saying I'd made some great choices and that I was gonna love them all. They were especially glad to see me get Iowa. You can't hide enthusiasm like that. I immediately knew I'd made the right choice.

What will always make the first couple of albums undeniably legendary, is the fact that he literally ripped his throat apart recording and performing those songs. That commitment to produce a sound that will never be replicated is something special. The raw absolute rage and brutality of it will never be heard again. Corey (the singer) didn't do his screams in a conventional way, all other singers that use this style use a technique that doesn't hurt or damage their vocal chords. Corey is just fucking screaming as loud as he can.
