Slipknot Sells Majority Stake in Catalog to HarbourView

HarbourView gains publishing plus recorded-royalty interests, with financial terms undisclosed.

Overview

  • HarbourView confirmed the deal to The Hollywood Reporter, describing a majority stake that spans publishing and recorded royalties.
  • Neither party disclosed the price; Billboard previously estimated the catalog’s value at about $120 million.
  • Outlets differ on scope, with some reporting the sale covers archival releases only and others saying it encompasses the entire catalog.
  • Warner Music Group controls the master recordings via Roadrunner Records, indicating HarbourView’s position relates to royalty income rather than master ownership.
  • Michael “Clown” Crahan and HarbourView CEO Sherrese Clarke issued statements highlighting a long-term plan to preserve and amplify the band’s body of work as the firm extends its catalog-buying run.
