Slipknot Showcase Deluxe Reissue of Self-Titled Debut Album, More Box Sets Coming
Earlier this week, Slipknot broke their own damn store when they put up 100 copies of their super special edition blood-filled vinyl sets for super die-hard fans. Shit sold out in seconds and the rest of us were left wondering when we’d learn more about a more widely available special edition of their influential debut.
Well, today that information was released and we now know that there will in fact be a 25th Anniversary Edition of Slipknot. Set to be released via retailers on September 5, this special edition will come in a couple of versions: a blood-splattered 6LP box set (limited to 1,899 copies); a 2LP variant; and a 2CD version. The special edition will also be available on streaming services if that’s your thing.
What you’ll get in the reissue depends on the version you buy. The bigger the package, naturally you’ll dng more widely available, the band released a demo version of the track “Prosthetics”, which you can check out below.
If you’re down and want to make sure you get your copy, you should go ahead and preorder your shit now. You never know how fast these special editions will sell out.
