'''Slipknot Demo''' is a 1998 [[Demo (music)|demo]] by American [[nu metal]] band [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]]. It contributed to the band's later signing with [[Roadrunner Records]] and the recruitment of [[Ross Robinson]], who [[music producer|produced]] their [[Slipknot (album)|debut album]]. The demo was used to promote the band to prospective labels and producers, as they were receiving attention from multiple labels at the time. |
|||
==History== |
|||
In 1997, following the release of the band's first demo album ''[[Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.]]'', the members of Slipknot continued to write new material and work in SR Audio, a local studio, with new vocalist [[Corey Taylor]].<ref name="Arnopp1">{{Harvnb|Arnopp|2001|p=70–71}}</ref> The band intended on releasing a second demo album but never got further than pre-production.<ref name="Arnopp1"/> Songs written and recorded in this period include "Slipknot", "Gently", "Do Nothing", "Tattered and Torn", "Scissors", "Me Inside", "Coleslaw", "Carve", "Windows" and "May 17th".<ref>{{Harvnb|Arnopp|2001|p=78}}</ref> In 1998 Slipknot was receiving growing attention from record labels including [[Epic Records|Epic]] and [[Hollywood Records]].<ref>{{harvnb|Crampton|2001|p=29}}</ref> They released this demo to prospective labels and producers; the track "[[Spit It Out]]" was the main focus of the demo and, with help from their manager Sophia John, they were able to get a copy of the demo to [[Ross Robinson]].<ref name="Arnopp3">{{Harvnb|Arnopp|2001|p=82–93}}</ref> The band wanted him to work with them on their debut album and after meeting with the band Robinson signed them to his own label, I Am, but later helped signed them to [[Roadrunner Records]].<ref name="Arnopp3"/> |
|||
"[[Wait and Bleed]]" and "Spit It Out" appeared on their debut album ''[[Slipknot (album)|Slipknot]]''; "Interloper" and "Despise" are available on the digipak version of the same album and "Snap" was featured on the soundtrack for the 2003 movie ''[[Freddy vs. Jason]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last = D'Angelo |first = Joe |title = 'Freddy Vs.

|||
It is often thought that "Interloper" and "Despise" are demo versions of "Diluted" and "Purity", which appear on the selftitled album (except "Purity", which only appeared on the first pressing due to a lawsuit), because "Despise" and "Purity" are very similar in structure, and "Interloper" and "Diluted" are also very similar. |
