SLIPKNOT recently announced a special-edition release on Roadrunner Records of its seminal self-titled debut album. This special CD/DVD piece will commemorate the 10th anniversary of SLIPKNOT's first album's release in 1999. Release is set for September 9, 2009 (9/9/09). The CD will feature 25 tracks, including the original album as well as rare demos, remixes, rare b-sides and more.

The companion documentary, entitled "of the (sic): Your Nightmares, Our Dreams", is packed with behind-the-scenes footage of SLIPKNOT from 1999. This never-before-seen hour-long piece was directed by percussionist M. Shawn Crahan, who combed through his vast archives to compile the definitive chronicle of this important time in SLIPKNOT's career. This inside look features both live and backstage footage from around the world. The DVD also features all the music videos from their debut cycle as well as other surprises.

In another first, SLIPKNOT will host a one-day festival in their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa on 9/9/09 (September 9, 2009). The show will feature two stages and a host of bands, with SLIPKNOT headlining. The second stage, sponsored by Jägermeister, will feature all local bands. An official announcement will be made soon.
