Slipknot are celebrating their 1999 self-titled album with a massive 25th anniversary box set featuring 59 tracks, of which 40 have never previously been released — including a demo of “Prosthetics” that can be heard below.

The box set, which arrives September 5th via Roadrunner Records, features six blood-colored LPs, including the original Ross Robinson-produced album, as well as the raw “Indigo Ranch Mixes,” a number demos, and a handful of Jay Baumgardner mixes. Additionally, the collection features 2 LPs worth of live tracks recorded at shows in Connecticut, the UK, and Iowa shortly after the album’s original release.

Slipknot recently landed at No. 55 on Consequence’s list of the 75 Best Metal Albums of All Time. The seminal release contains such classics as “Wait and Bleed,” “Surfacing,” and “Spit It Out.” Last year, Slipknot embarked on a 25th anniversary tour in celebration of the album, during which they donned red jumpsuits similar to the ones they wore on their original tour in support of the LP.

Earlier this week, Slipknot briefly made 100 blood-filled vinyl copies of the 25th anniversary reissue available through the secret website 742617000027.net, and those editions sold out immediately.

The 6-LP box set, meanwhile, is limited to 1899 copies, while other editions include a 2-LP set and a 2-CD set.

Slipknot just placed the Inkcarceration Festival in Mansfield, Ohio, this past weekend, but have no other tour dates scheduled for 2025 at this time.

Months after the debut album, the band took to the road and these live recordings showcase the band’s atmospheric rise from headlining Hartford, Connecticut’s legendary 1200 seat Webster Theater in September of 1999, to playing in front of massive crowds in the UK and Iowa in late 2000.
