Overview

  • The demo of Me Inside is streaming now as a taste of Slipknot (25th Anniversary Edition), due September 5, 2025 via Roadrunner Records.
  • The reissue pairs the original Ross Robinson–produced album with unreleased demos, alternate versions, Indigo Ranch and SR Audio material, plus test mixes from Jay Baumgardner and Ulrich Wild.
  • Remixed and remastered soundboard recordings from a 1999 Hartford show and 2000 U.K. dates were pulled from original digital audio tapes chosen by the band.
  • Physical options include 2CD and 2LP editions with preorders live, while a 6LP blood‑splattered box (limited to 1,899) and a secret 100‑copy blood‑filled pressing sold out instantly and crashed the band’s site.
  • Percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan leads the archival project, having preserved DATs and session materials, with the track Purity restored on the demos/alternate disc in the 2CD/2LP editions.
