Slipknot Officially Announce Different Box Set

Slipknot fans will still have their shot at a pretty outstanding box set celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band’s self-titled 1999 album after frustration over the limited-edition run of “blood filled” box sets earlier in the week.

There will be special 25th anniversary deluxe reissue coming from their former label Roadrunner Records on Sept. 5 that will be offered through physical and digital retailers.

Earlier this week, a special “blood filled” version of the box set was issued after a mystery website’s countdown clock lapsed, but a site crash and a 100-copy limit that sold out almost immediately left some fans confused and frustrated by the situation.

But now comes word that there are more box sets. However, these are the “blood splatter” editions and there are only 1899 units that will be issued worldwide. So what’s inside? Let’s take a closer look.

What’s Inside Slipknot’s 6LP (25th Anniversary Blood Splatter Box Set)?

Pre-orders for the special 6LP “blood splatter” edition of their 25th anniversary box set are now live.

This set includes exclusive new artwork and unseen imagery that has been collected from the band’s personal archives. You’ll also get 59 recordings that span not only include the original album, but also features the band’s legendary Indigo Ranch demos. Plus you’ll gets mixes, live versions of songs and other rarities both from the era in which they were conceived and in periods of additional promotion throughout the years.

All of this material will be spread out over 6 colorful blood splatter LPs. And, on top of all that, there will be 9 new Slipknot collectors photo cards included in the box set.

Given the limit on the number of box sets available, there is also a limit of two when it comes to the number of box sets you can purchase. As previously stated, the box sets will arrive on Sept. 5, but pre-orders are currently underway at the Slipknot merch website.

To build up to the release, the demo version of “Prosthetics” has been offered as the collection’s first song tease.
