For their millions and millions of fans around the world, Slipknot are not just a band, but a culture, a way of life. Slipknot are unlike any band the rock scene has ever seen, and to celebrate their groundbreaking two-decade existence, they are now releasing the "Best of" album Antennas To Hell , documenting their unique career, on July 20. Meanwhile, the band is spending its summer as the main attraction of the 2012 edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival and is hosting its own festival , Knotfest , for the first time, which it will also headline.
The time is ripe for a "best of" collection from the band that captures the first chapter of Slipknot - a chapter in which they rose from obscurity to become one of the biggest rock bands in the world, and they did it by their very own rules. The 2-disc version of Antennas To Hell includes a bonus live CD that captures the band's 2009 performance at the legendary Download Festival in England, where they played a set of classics from throughout their career in front of 80,000 rabid fans. The journey from "(sic)," the first track from their self-titled debut, to "Snuff," the haunting No. 1 rock track from their 2008 album All Hope Is Gone, is a powerful testament to this. The album includes fan favorites, live classics and well-known radio hits. The DVD will include all previous music videos as well as 10 previously unreleased short films.
Just consider the numbers: Slipknot has delivered eleven platinum albums and 38 gold albums worldwide, as well as several multi-platinum releases on albums and DVD releases. The band's most recent studio album, "All Hope Is Gone," debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard charts and #2 on the German charts. The band has won a Grammy and has also been nominated seven times.
Often imitated, never duplicated - there is only one Slipknot. And they are unique.
