Unboxing the Deluxe Reissue: Formats and Hidden Gems

The 25th Anniversary Edition launched with a frenzy, starting with 100 blood-filled vinyl copies sold out instantly via 742617000027.net, crashing the site. A 6LP Box Set (limited to 1,899 blood-splattered vinyl copies) followed suit, alongside 2LP color variants, 2CD, and digital formats. This treasure trove includes the original Ross Robinson-produced album plus 46 bonus tracks—42 unreleased—featuring Indigo Ranch mixes, demos, alternate takes, and live recordings from 1999-2000. Highlights include the Hartford, CT 1999 show’s raw power and the 2000 UK gigs’ mainstage mastery, all remixed from soundboard tapes by the band. Fans are raving about “Scissors”’ eerie video, a perfect nod to their early anarchy.

Tracklist Breakdown and Legacy

The deluxe edition unravels Slipknot’s evolution:

• LP 1: Original tracks like “(sic)”, “Wait and Bleed”, and the epic “Scissors” (8:25).
• LP 2-3: Indigo Ranch mixes with raw cuts like “Suck These Nuts (Get This)”.
• LP 4: Demos (“Wait and Bleed”, “Prosthetics”) and alternate mixes by Jay Baumgardner and Ulrich Wild.
• LP 5-6: Live 1999-2000 sets, capturing their unhinged energy.

Since 1999, Slipknot’s debut turned them from unknowns to a cultural force, with word-of-mouth fueling their rise. The Here Comes The Pain tour—sold-out across Madison Square Garden, O2 Arena, and Knotfest Iowa—echoed this legacy, drawing heavily from the album. The “Scissors” video reignites that fire, blending nostalgia with fresh visuals.

Fan Frenzy and Where to Engage

Posts on socials are electric, with fans calling it “the metal event of 2025” and praising the “Scissors” video’s intensity. The 6LP Box Set’s sell-out proves demand, while 2LP and 2CD options keep the celebration alive. Stream on Spotify or Apple Music, or grab physical copies at roadrunnerrecords.com.
