Continuing their series of special editions that began with "The Book of
Tool" and "The Book of Slayer," Revolver magazine is publishing "The Book of Slipknot" this week. The collector's magazine tells Slipknot's story in their own words, as the 10th anniversary of their Iowa
album approaches. (More news to come on that front, by the way; stay
tuned.) From their start in Des Moines, Iowa, to the untimely death of
bassist Paul Gray, it covers all of Slipknot’s
turning points, illustrated with rare and intimate photos from the
group’s vault. And in new, exclusive interviews, vocalist Corey Taylor, percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan, and drummer Joey Jordison talk about the current state of the band and its future. The issue also features appearances by members of Lamb of God, Five Finger Death Punch, Asking Alexandria, Halestorm, Machine Head, the Devil Wears Prada, and many more, who pick their favorite Slipknot songs.
The issue features:
PART 1: Pulse of the Maggots: an album-by-album history of the band.
- Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat
- Slipknot
- Iowa
- Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses)
- 9.0 Live
