More Slipknot Information

Slipknot eventually signed to Roadrunner in 1997, and they entered Indigo Ranch Studios in L.A. to record their second album 'Slipknot'. Slipknot's array of influences came wrapped up in a 13-song album that resembled a letter to the outside world concerning their love/hate relationship. The album was released in 1999 and the touring that followed proved this band was like nothing else out there.

Until you hear the sound the nine members of this group create, having so many in the band might seem a little excessive, but members claim it wouldn't work any other way. Their collaborative talent is obvious on songs like 'Sic', 'Wait And Bleed', 'Tattered & Torn' and 'Scissors'. As time went on the band was getting more and more popular. Ozzy Osbourne brought the group on the Ozzfest Tour in 1999, and later that year, they began to tour with Coal Chamber. By the end on the year, the band's self-titled album was double platinum, and they were a huge success.
