Untitled

Iowa is the second album by Slipknot. The album was released on August 28, 2001 by the independent label Roadrunner Records.

The album's title is a reference to the band's home state (the members live relatively anonymously in Des Moines, Iowa). The cover of the album shows the head of a goat, an image the band incorporated into their live set, on their boiler suits, and in the video for "Left Behind", as the band felt they had been held as scapegoats since the release of Slipknot. The album has a much stronger goth feel to it to then Slipknot's previous album.

New artwork
