This is my favourite picture because it’s a picture of Slipknot’s second album Iowa, which was released in 2001. For those who may not know much about Slipknot, Slipknot is an American heavy metal band. The original 9 members are all from Des Moines, Iowa. Which of course, inspired the name for their album, Iowa. After their first album self titled, released in 1999, the band wasn’t sure where their career was going to take them and with that came the unknown. But Slipknot truly put their heads together and embarked on a new journey, with heavier sounds and new vocal range. During the recording of the album, Slipknot says it was one of their darkest times as a band collectively, but they managed to pull through and create one of their biggest albums to date. We were all definitely not let down by Iowa.
