SHOCK rockers Slipknot will be appearing at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast, on Tuesday, August 27th. 
 Tickets priced £27.50 (inc. booking fee) are now on sale from Odyssey Arena, Virgin and usual Ticketmaster outlets or on line at www.wonderlandpromotions.co.uk.
 Hailing from Des Moines, Iowa. Slipknot are nine men in nine different masks united with one common goal - world domination. 
 Fortified with an arsenal of blistering music saturated with screams, drums, searing riffs, sampling, scratches and melody. Slipknot's music runs the scale from eerily thought-provoking to utterly terrifying. 
 Their self-titled debut album having gone platinum - the first in Roadrunner Records history - the band released their second effort, IOWA, which was called by many "one of the most anticipated albums of 2001".
 Slipknot, collectively, are DJ Sid Wilson, drummer Joey Jordison, bassist Paul Grey, percussionist Chris Fehn, guitarist James Root, sampler Craig Jones, percussionist Shawn Crahan, guitarist Mick Thomson and lead singer Corey Taylor (also known as 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, respectively)

DOMINIC: Yeah, a little bit more you know. We travelled around the world. Saw a lot of new countries and things like that, so we sort of learnt a lot of things about the band. You know who you are, you change as people, and I think the band just developed and moved forward.  MATTHEW: I think we spent the rest of the whole time touring. We spent the whole year touring, and for the first time headlining ...
