SLIPKNOT - SELF TITLED EP, CLEAR RED


How unfortunate that this bands legacy will be forever tarnished by the nu metal band of the same name! I got this ep back in the day when most kids were totally gung ho youth crew and lapped pretty much everything that Revelation Records did without question. On hearing this for the first time I was gutted that it didn't fit the Youth of today, GB, Bold, Chain mold. Hey its on Rev so it must be youth crew!! Anyway fast forward to say 5 years ago and after criminally overlooking this I decided to give it another chance. Very akin to early Corrosion Of Conformity and very thrashy to boot. Infact not a bad release, not outstanding but maybe not as bad to overlook it for some 15 years! Nice glossy packaging and a throughly "professional" looking record.
