(SLIPKNOT) Slip into town for latest CD

Banbury Guardian 
Thursday 23rd August 2001

To mark the release of the new Slipknot album, Record Savings in White Lion Walk, Banbury, will have a midnight opening on Sunday.
 The Iowa album will hit music stores on Monday and local fans can get their copy first with Record Savings' special hour-long opening. The shop itself is one of 20 in the country to hold the special opening. 
 Slipknot, whose music ranges from the thought-provoking to the terrifying, is made up of 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 singer Corey Taylor.
 As an incentive for people to get into the spirit of things, the album will be held on the night at £9.99 (discount of £3) to people who dress up Slipknot-style for the event - the band are famous for wearing masks and boiler suits.

From here on in it's a non-stop lunatic ride through some of the grandest, most unashamedly epic guitar music ever created, taking in mournful death marches ( Blackout ), sound-and-fury riffing ( Stockholm Syndrome ), as well as thunderous end of the world anthems ( Time Is Running Out ).   In the months leading up to the album's release, Matt Bellamy told the press that the coming Muse record would be more 'uplifting' than previous efforts. We needn't have worried. From it's portentous opening bars to its...

c. July 2001 (Note - unfortunately the questions have been taken out, so this is fragmented) CHRISTOPHER: Yeah it's been...I mean the last couple of years we've done a lot really. We've sort of started off again in 99, just doing our own little tours, and just gradually building up to sort of going up to bigger tours with other bands, and then getting to the point where we can go out to do our own gigs. You know, gradually getting bigger and bigger.  MATTHEW: 2001... DOMINIC: No, year 2000... MATTHEW: 2000, last year...it's when we sort of found out who we were I think... 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 ...
