.5: The Gray Chapter, Slipknot’s fifth studio album for Roadrunner Records and first since 2008’s RIAA platinum certified chart‐topper, All Hope Is Gone made a stunning chart debut upon its October arrival last year, entering the SoundScan/Billboard 200 chart at #1 with sales in excess of 131,000 albums – the highest debut for a hard rock record in 2014. Furthermore, the album made an explosive chart impact around the globe, with #1 debuts in Japan, Australia, Canada, Russia, and Switzerland, alongside top 5 debuts  in the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Austria, New Zealand, Mexico, Denmark, and Finland.  Furthermore, “Custer,” the group’s latest single from .5: The Gray Chapter is impacting now at rock radio outlets nationwide.    Along  with  its  massive  popular  success, .5:  The  Gray  Chapter has  also  proven  one  of  2014’s  most  critically acclaimed  releases,  earning  the  group  their  eighth GRAMMY®  nomination  in  the    ‘Best Metal  Performance’ category for their triumphant return with “The Negative One.” The album was #1 on both Revolver’s “20 Best Albums of 2014” and Guitar World’s “50 Best Albums of 2014” rankings, while also earning inclusion on Rolling Stone and Loudwire’s “20 Best Metal Albums of 2014” rankings.  In addition, .5: The Gray Chapter was chosen as Metal Hammer’s  “Readers Album of 2014”  and  included on  the  “Critic’s Choice: The Metal Hammer Top 50 Albums of 2014” tally.

Slipknot emerged at the tail end of the Twentieth Century and quickly established itself as the most enigmatic, provocative, and aggressive collective of the modern era. 1999’s SLIPKNOT stands as a true milestone, named by Metal  Hammer as  the  “Best  Debut  of  the  Last  25  Years.”  The  album  fast  earned  2x  RIAA  platinum certification, with  each  of  Slipknot’s  following  releases  –  including  4  video  albums  –  all  receiving  additional platinum certifications  in the US and around the globe. All told, the band has 11 platinum and 38 gold record certifications worldwide.   For more, please log on to www.slipknot1.com, www.facebook.com/slipknot, twitter.com/slipknot (@slipknot), instagram.com/slipknot, www.youtube.com/slipknot, and www.roadrunnerrecords.com.
