Slipknot Demo is a 1998 demo by nu metal band Slipknot. The demo helped the band recruit Ross Robinson to work with them on their debut album and get them signed with Roadrunner Records. It was released in low numbers and is difficult to find.

History

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 local studio SR Audio with new vocalist Corey Taylor in 1997.[1] The band were working on new material with the intent of releasing a second demo album but never got further than pre-production.[1] Songs written and recorded in this period include "Slipknot", "Gently", "Do Nothing", "Tattered and Torn", "Scissors", "Me Inside", "Coleslaw", "Carve", "Windows" and "May 17th".[2] In 1998 Slipknot were receiving growing attention from record labels including Epic and Hollywood Records.[3] 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.[4] 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.[4]

The demo is extremely rare because of the nature of the demo and its limited release. However, "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out" appeared on their debut 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.[5]
