THE EYE OF A CLOWN: SLIPKNOT'S CLOWN BLOG UPDATE
Slipknot's Shawn Crahan has an increasingly more popular feature on Headbangers Blog. Check out this weeks installation:
In this week’s edition of “The Eye of a Clown,” Slipknot percussionist and creative photographer Shawn Crahan discusses a scary portrait he took of a guy named Satone. If you’re lacking some company around your Thanksgiving dinner table, why not keep your computer monitor on and have Satone join you for turkey and stuffing. Just remember to turn off the screen after the meal or he’ll transmit his energy through your connective wires and possess your mother-lovin’ soul. Speakin’ of mother, if she’s there, remember to give her a big hug — even if she’s that shriveled old corpse in your living room rocking chair. Happy Turkey Day, y’all.

SLIPKNOT ANNOUNCES U.S. ARENA HEADLINE TOUR
SLIPKNOT ANNOUNCES
U.S. ARENA HEADLINE TOUR
BAND RETURNS HOME IN SUPPORT OF
ALL HOPE IS GONE
2009 MARKS 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
OF BAND'S LANDMARK DEBUT ALBUM
New York, NY - Grammy-award winning hard rockers Slipknot announced today their first U.S. headline tour in support of their #1 album All Hope Is Gone. The tour, which kicks off on January 23rd in St. Paul, MN, will hit 33 cities across the country, and include an historic stop at New York's Madison Square Garden, a first for the band. Coheed and Cambria and labelmates Trivium round out the bill.
Frontman Corey Taylor says of the trek, "2009 is the 10 year anniversary of the world's first taste of this band. To celebrate we are coming back out with a killer tour, a couple great bands and the same ferocity with which we attack life. We want all of our maggots to come and celebrate with us, because if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been here for 10 years. Get ready for chaos!"
A special iTunes presale will start on December 3 and will be open to those who took part in the band's digital album presale earlier this year. Internet presales via Ticketmaster, will commence on December 5, and the majority of dates will go on sale December 6.
The All Hope Is Gone World Tour marks Slipknot's first headline run in America since the release of the album in August. The band is currently playing to sold out arenas on the other side of the globe; including stops in Russia, Japan, Australia, Europe and wrapping in the United Kingdom with three sold-out nights at London's Hammersmith Apollo. Preceding All Hope Is Gone's #1 debut, the band held the headline slot on this summer's sold-out inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, which drew the biggest crowds to a metal festival since Slipknot played Ozzfest in 2004.
The latest single from All Hope Is Gone, "Dead Memories" is quickly climbing the charts at rock radio with current positions at top 20 at Active rock and top 40 at Modern Rock. The video, directed by P.R. Brown and Slipknot's M. Shawn Crahan, is in Elite 8 rotation at MTV2 and sitting at #3 on Fuse's Viewer Choice Countdown.
To celebrate the tour, Hard Drive, hosted by Lou Brutus will be airing a Slipknot All Hope is Gone World Tour Special from December 3rd-6th on radio stations all across the country. The special will feature exclusive live tracks from their current tour as well as candid interviews and other surprises.

I was all hyped when I heard all hope is gone but the rest of the cd is pretty boring and it sounds so much like Stone Sour. Maybe Slipknot should look at what Metallica did and make something entirely heavy again and stop experimenting on these ballads that was never on either the SLIPKNOT cd or IOWA.

All Hope Is Gone, the long awaited fourth studio release from metal icons Slipknot was well worth the wait. From the furious statement of the opening, Execute that fades into the blisterin Gematria {The Killing Name}, the fierce anthem that is Sulfer, and the amazingly well done first single Psychosocial. This album has been awaited for over 4 years, and through it all, i would have to say that Slipknot delivered in a major way. All Hope Is Gone is a mixture of fury, energy, hatred, anger, and above all else, passion.
i would rate it with a 10 out of 10.

All Hope Is Gone is the Slipknot album every Maggot and Metalhead have been waiting for. Slipknot has finally strayed away from their Nu Metal genre, to become a solid Metal band. Almost every song seems like a hit! Gemetria gets things kicking with some headbanging and moshing goodness. Sulfur is melodic, yet heavy. Psychosocial is an instant classic from the nine. Dead Memories shows amazing talent from Corey Taylor and is a personal favorite. Vendetta brings out the anthem in Maggots everywhere. Butcher's Hook puts Sid Wilson to good use. This Cold Black is an extremely heavy song and makes you want to burn everything down. Though the album does lose it's touch with Gehenna, it again comes through with Corey's emotion and vocals in Snuff. All Hope Is Gone might be the best song on the album, as it shows all of the strengths of everyone in the band. All Hope Is Gone is an absolute must-buy album for Maggots and even fans who are new to Slipknot. If you want music that'll really give you chills because it's so good, buy All Hope Is Gone TODAY!

Slipknot's long awaited forth album has not disappointed. Sure, many fans have criticised the relative accessibilty of some of the songs, but it marks a real step forward from the band. This album is compelling from the first few seconds of .execute. The minute it kicks in to the 6 minute riff-fest Gematria, you realise just how powerful Slipknot can be. Vendetta, This Cold Black and the single Psychosocial all destroy, in ways similar to early tracks like Surfacing and Disasterpiece, while offering far more emotional depth and technicality. Other songs like Sulfur, Butcher's Hook and Gehenna are arguably the most accomplished and varied songs the band have written so far, and Dead Memories, Wherein Lies Continue and Snuff all highlight Corey Taylor's amazing vocal range. Best of all, the wild and ferocious title track may just be the band's defining song-vicious, complex and with a powerful message. If this is Slipknot's last album (hopefully not) then they will have gone out on an all-time high, and one that other bands cannot hope to better.

The long awaited "All Hope Is Gone" album is here. This CD was well worth the wait, from start to finish Slipknot did not dissappoint. This album shows the diversity of what these guys are cappable off. They are already at the top of my list as best metal band. If they keep making kick ass records like this one, that hasn't left my CD player for months. They will remain undisputed metal kings of all time. I wish I could tell you which track was my favorite but I dont have one, Just let the CD play. Thanks for the Kick Ass Album Guys. See ya 2/3/08

I love this album compared to the others because in this album you get to hear the full capability of Corey Taylor's voice and they had a no hold back attitude in there songs they put all they had out there i also love that they used more melodic singing in there songs and added some acoustic guitars into there songs all in all i give this album the highest score you can give an album

This album takes away from all their other albums in the past based on the music basis. Its song "Psychosocial," is in my opinion by far one of their greatest songs they have ever written next to "Duality, Before I Forget, Wait and Bleed, and many others." A real step to greatness is where this album is headed!
