Slipknot | Iowa | Album

Slipknot's second album, Iowa, released on August 28, 2001, by Roadrunner Records, stands as the heaviest, darkest, and most relentlessly aggressive album of the band's career. Driven by internal band turmoil, substance abuse, and intense industry pressure, the 14-track record discarded standard commercial nu-metal melodies in favour of a raw sonic assault heavily inspired by death metal and thrash. Critics and fans widely regard it as a classic of extreme metal that defined the band's musical identity.
