Metal Anarchy

Slipknot are planning to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album on tour next year, but it appears the band also have more in store. During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan revealed that a documentary and a reissue of the album are being planned as well.

Clown said the following:

“I’ve harvested relics from our whole career, I’ve just collected and collected all of it. Let’s call it a documentary, but really it could be a film. I’ve recently signed on with some forces for it and I’m going to get a director too.

A lot of the footage has already been captured, but there is a lot that still needs to be compiled for it to be what it needs to be. So yes, there’s something like that coming, and there’ll be a DVD which would be behind-the-scenes too. Also footage for the 25-year anniversary, there would likely be a package for that, and there’s going to be a reissue of the album, probably.”

On another note, a new album is planned as well:

“As far as the new album, that’s happening, but that’s another plan. These live dates are coming first and we’re here to have a good time. This band has never been happier, and that takes a lot because we’ve been through a lot — drugs, women, money, fame, ego, isolation. But we are on track.”
