Slipknot Frontman Corey Taylor Shares Vivid 'Iowa' Memory
.
(Metal Hammer) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has reflected on recording the band's Iowa album, in particular, the record's title track. The follow-up to their self-titled 1999 debut was released in 2001 and was a major success across the globe, spawning the singles The Heretic Anthem, released as Heretic Song, Left Behind and My Plague. But it's the album's sprawling 15-minute title track that Taylor remembers recording most vividly. He exclusively tells Metal Hammer: "The biggest memory for me was recording Iowa naked, cutting myself up with a broken candle. "That was probably the one memory that comes out. It was the one time that producer Ross Robinson didn't come in the vocal booth with me. He probably wouldn't have had a good time in there with me naked!" Speaking in 2011 about the recording session, former drummer Joey Jordison said Iowa was "probably the scariest track of all time." Read more here.
