专辑介绍

．集结邪气与怨气的暴力美学极致之作

．以毁灭为概念揭开邪恶九人众的狰狞面貌

1995年成军，1996将自制Demo作独立发行，快速引来多家主流大厂兴趣的Slipknot，最后选择Roadrunner于1999年推出首张同名专辑，在搭配卖座冠军惊悚大片「惊声尖叫3」之重点配曲「Wait And Bleed」商业曝光，登上全美一年一度摇滚盛事Ozzyfest舞台成为瞩目新团等的推波助澜下，一举打进美国热门潜力榜冠军+流行专辑榜Top51+英国Top37，且热卖两年仍不退烧。2001年，他们发行了此张最令人瞩目的第二张专辑，不但没有让人失望，更让市场及排行榜正视到这九位来自爱荷华州的怪杰们。

此张的专辑名正是他们家乡的名称，所代表的就是让Slipknot之所以成为今天的面貌之原因。收录的作品，包括了先行发表后更名的「The Heretic Anthem」，挑名冲着流行艺人来着的，意味着绝对邪恶与凶暴。单曲「Left Behind」以扭曲的吉他声与层层相迭的鼓声带出被遗弃、愤怒意境的嘶吼，配合以叙述悲惨故事，以及最后报复心切的怒吼。而以重低音吉他开场的「My Plague」，进入主旋律时不禁让人随着甩头，并且是电影恶灵古堡的主题歌，MV中团员的形象以及歌迷（被乐团称之为Maggots）跟僵尸的对照既恶搞又贴切。「I Am Hated」也是电影极速风暴的插曲，团员们甚至在片中演唱这首结合鞭笞与新金属元素的猛作。「People = Shit」，以接近Death Metal般的狂暴嘶吼开场，喊出了目中无人的狂妄以及对世界的愤怒与不满怨气，也是将乐团及乐手特色作个对歌迷极限挑战的作品。

虽然是将负面情绪用音乐狂暴发泄的作品，但整张专辑的概念以及制作包装的高水平就连排行榜歌手都难以达到，而其作品概念以及乐团图腾更都是出自团员之手。这张作品刚推出就空降排行榜第三名的席位，所有音乐杂志与媒体纷纷将他们请上封面。就让爆音教父Ross Robinson再次与九个充满才华却又激愤的鬼才，带领着大家进入另一个层次的重金属领域。

Iowa is the second album by American metal band Slipknot. Released by Roadrunner Records on August 28, 2001, it was produced by Ross Robinson and Slipknot. The title derives from the band's home state, Iowa, which members have stated is one of their biggest sources of inspiration. With much anticipation for the band's second album following on the success of their 1999 self-titled debut, pressures on the band were high. Their relationships with each other suffered and was later described as the darkest time of their career. It was also the first time that guitarist Jim Root had been significantly involved in a Slipknot album due to his joining very late in recording of their debut album, as Root was only featured on two songs from that release. Despite troubles within the band and with Iowa's development, Slipknot promoted it for almost a year.

Iowa was a major success, it premiered in the top ten album sales charts in nine countries. Generally positively received, it includes some of their notable songs, such as "Disasterpiece", "The Heretic Anthem", "People = Shit" and the two Grammy-nominated songs "Left Behind" and the remix of "My Plague". Critic John Mulvey proclaimed the album as the "absolute triumph of nu metal". While more technical than their debut album, Iowa is considered to be the band's heaviest and darkest. It has been certified platinum in the United States and Canada. A special edition of Iowa was reissued on November 1, 2011 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the record. It was accompanied by a full live audio of the hit DVD Disasterpieces and a film entitled Goat directed by Shawn Crahan with the four music videos, never-seen-before interviews and footage from the Iowa period.
