Iconic metal group celebrating 25th anniversary with special album release
Slipknot is celebrating the band's 25th anniversary by releasing a special edition of their debut album. The masked metal pioneers announced a deluxe reissue of their 1999 self-titled debut album on Thursday, July 24. 'Slipknot (25th Anniversary Edition)" will include all of the original album's songs in addition to new tracks. The special box set boasts 59 tracks — including 40 previously unreleased demos, alternate mixes and live recordings — spread across six LPs. The box set also includes nine new Slipknot collectors photo cards. 'Slipknot (25th Anniversary Edition)" will be released on Sept. 5. 'Slipknot' was released on Roadrunner Records in 1999. The project established Slipknot as one of the most popular bands in the nu-metal explosion of the late '90s and early 2000s. The project was certified platinum by early 2000, becoming the first such album in Roadrunner's history, according to AllMusic. The genre-blending album was voted the best debut album of the last 25 years by Metal Hammer readers in 2011. 'Slipknot' is also the band's only album to feature original guitarist Josh Brainard who left at the end of recording in late 1998 while the band was on a short hiatus. Slipknot have sold more than 30 million records, won a Grammy Award and headlined some of the world's biggest festivals over the past 25 years. The band's milestone anniversary also included the sold-out 'Here Comes The Pain' world tour that happened last year. 'Slipknot (25th Anniversary Edition)" is available for pre-save online.

Slipknot to release more than 40 previously unheard tracks for the band's 25th anniversary
American heavy metal band Slipknot are commemorating a quarter-century of their iconic debut with a sprawling reissue of their 1999 self-titled album. According to a report in billboard, the deluxe package is set to arrive on September 5 via Roadrunner Records. Slipknot released their self titled debut album in 1999 This special edition comprises 59 tracks in total, including 40+ never-before-released recordings. Spread across six vinyl LPs, the collection includes early demos, alternate mixes, live performances, and a host of rarities. Fans will also find exclusive new artwork, archival photos from the band's vaults, and nine collectors' photo cards. The announcement was accompanied by the release of an unearthed demo version of Prosthetics, a raw cut that predates the band's sessions with producer Ross Robinson. The early version offers a glimpse into how the song evolved into one of the darker entries on the original record. Among the previously unheard material are early recordings of fan favourites like Wait and Bleed and Spit It Out, along with mixes by Jay Baumgardner and Ulrich Wild. The live content documents Slipknot's rapid ascent at the turn of the millennium, featuring a 1999 Hartford, Connecticut performance and several arena shows from the UK and Iowa in 2000. 'We loved what we did with the first record but we didn't even know if there was gonna be anything after that,' guitarist Jim Root told billboard. 'We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours — those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us,' he added. Originally released in June 1999, Slipknot defied expectations, went double platinum, and helped reshape the landscape of heavy music. The album introduced the world to the band's nine-member lineup, chaotic visuals, and genre-blending sound. Since then, Slipknot have sold over 30 million albums globally, earned 14 platinum and 40 gold certifications, won a Grammy, and topped the bill at the world's most prestigious festivals. Earlier this week, a limited run of 100 box sets surfaced via a mysterious countdown website. The site crashed shortly after launch, and all units were snapped up immediately, leaving many fans frustrated. Now, a wider 'blood-splatter' edition has been confirmed, limited to 1,899 copies worldwide. The box set will be available through physical and digital retailers.

Turnstile Play First Show of 2025 at Free Baltimore Benefit Concert
Turnstile returned to their hometown of Baltimore over the weekend with a powerful purpose. The Grammy-nominated hardcore band staged a free benefit concert on Saturday (May 10) at Wyman Park Dell, drawing thousands of fans and raising over $35,000 for charity. The event marked the band's first live performance in nearly a year and served as a high-energy preview of their upcoming album Never Enough, out June 6 via Roadrunner Records, which includes recently released singles 'SEEIN' STARS' and 'BIRDS'.

Fans traveled across the country to attend the 16-acre event, which featured moshing, crowd-surfing and sing-alongs. QR codes throughout the park allowed fans to donate to Health Care for the Homeless, which offers medical, dental, therapy and addiction support services to Baltimore's most vulnerable populations. Kevin Feldt, senior director of institutional advancement at the organization, told the Baltimore Banner that the event gave them 'the opportunity to share our mission with thousands.' The band financed the show entirely on their own, with help from Unregistered Nurse Booking founder Dana Murphy and a team of more than 60 people. Turnstile will play a record release show June 5 in Brooklyn, N.Y., before going on a more extensive tour including festival stops at Primavera Sound, Glastonbury, Ottawa Blues and III Points, among others. The event follows the announcement last month of the band's new album — its first in four years following the highly acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Glow On — and the release of the Never Enough title track. While Mike Elizondo (Linkin Park, Fiona Apple, Eminem) produced the last record, frontman Brendan Yates takes the production reins on the new album, which was recorded between the band's hometown of Baltimore and Los Angeles. Billboard named Turnstile's Glow On one of the best albums of 2021, placing it at No. 27 on the list. The record also debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at No. 30.
