Slipknot's Clown confirms there will be a 5th Slipknot Album.

Slipknot's Shawn 'Clown' Crahan has confirmed there will be a 5th studio album by the Des moines mask band. Honestly, this excites me very much. Clown told Kerrang magazine that 'There are plans, but its a way off' Clown also told Kerrang that the album will be much more like Iowa. Which obviously makes me very excited as their last album 'All Hope is gone' did disappoint me in a way. I think it was not as aggressive as the knots previous albums, it did not feel as raw. 

So the questions is how long will they leave us waiting? Slipknot are preforming at Australia's Soundwave festival next year (which I would give my soul away to go too) Will they announce a new album after that? We'll just have to wait and see! 

At the end of the month the special edition of Iowa is released. Which I'm looking forward to rather much. Every body should pre oder their copy now! 

Slipknot - Iowa 10th Anniversary Edition

Can you believe Iowa is 10 years old? Thankfully the masked Des moines-based band's modern classic is being re-released in a 10th anniversary edition to celebrate. 

The anniversary edition will included the original iowa album with added bonus track, My Plague (new abuse mix) A second disc, Disasterpieces - live in london 2002 and Goat, and hour long film capturing the pure insanity and destruction of Iowa, directed by Clown. 

In my opinion Iowa is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, the is nothing out there like iowa, it is a truly angry, violent and menacing. It has the capability to scare the living shit out of you. You can feel how the band must have been feeling at the time of making this album, its dark and brutal. 

Iowa will be released on the 31st of October, I believe it is a must buy for any fan of the knot, or for anyone who wants to here some really intense dark metal.
