SLIPKNOT Announces North American Arena Tour With KNOCKED LOOSE, ORBIT CULTURE & VENDED

"We loved what we did with the first record but we didn't even know if there was gonna be anything after that," said Slipknot guitarist Jim Root. "We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours- those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us."

Founding Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan added: "Every time I've walked on stage, it's never been about how many people have been there because my culture, the maggots, always show up.

"But as we've grown as a band, we have had fewer and fewer of those intimate, personal moments, trading them for massive ones. So we're gonna make it more personal on the anniversary, but how remains to be seen. Just get ready to have your face kicked in. Because we just do what we do, spread that maggot culture - that disease. And you've been infected."
