Audio of Slipknot‘s early 1995 demo has been making headlines after recently resurfacing online. Featuring a pre-Corey Taylor lineup of the band (Anders Colsefni handles the vocals,) Warner Music Group have already begun issuing takedown notices against the various uploads of the demo that have sprouted up. That being the case, you may want to give it a listen ASAP.
At least one included track will sound familiar to fan’s of the band’s self-titled album, having later been reworked to become “Tattered & Torn“. Percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan is the only remaining member from this era of the group who still remains in Slipknot.
Bassist Paul Gray died in 2010, while drummer Joey Jordison and the band parted ways back in 2013. The other participants thought to be involved included guitarist Donnie Steele, guitarist Josh Brainard and Colsefni, all of whom would go on to exit the band before they achieved international stardom with their 2x multi-platinum self-titled album in 1999.
