HarbourView Buys Majority Stake in Slipknot Catalog Covering Publishing and Recorded Royalties

Uncertainty persists over scope given Warner Music's control of the master recordings.

Overview

  • HarbourView announced a deal for a majority interest in Slipknot’s catalog that includes publishing and recorded royalty streams.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, and reports do not specify which individual band members took part in the sale.
  • Billboard’s prior reporting notes Warner Music controls the masters through Roadrunner, indicating the transaction concerns royalty income rather than ownership of the recordings.
  • Slipknot’s Michael “Clown” Crahan endorsed the partnership in a band statement, while HarbourView CEO Sherrese Clarke praised the group’s influence and vowed to amplify its work.
  • Luminate reports 14.6 million U.S. album-consumption units and 15.73 billion global streams for Slipknot, underscoring the catalog’s commercial appeal.
