SLIPKNOT: An early end?

On August 28, 2001 – exactly 24 years ago – Slipknot released their second album “Iowa”. Did you already know these 5 facts? Because the background to the creation of “Iowa” is tragic …

★ The pressure after the successful self-titled album was enormous, and the relationships between the band members suffered greatly as a result.

Drugs and alcohol addiction did the rest, and singer Corey Taylor inflicted wounds on himself during the recording of the title song, for example, to make the pain sound more authentic.

★ During the production of “Iowa”, producer Ross Robinson broke his spine in a dirt bike accident, but continued working on the album.

★ Development phase Yes, “Iowa” was almost the last studio album.

★ Slipkot later described this phase as the darkest time of their entire career.
