| Ep 337: 25 Years of Slipknot - IOWA | 31 Aug 2026 | 01:00:35 | |
In episode 337 of the podcast, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Slipknot’s ‘IOWA’, the landmark album released in 2001 that pushed the boundaries of just how heavy mainstream metal could get. We look back on our early memories of ‘IOWA’, how we first connected with the record, the context surrounding Slipknot and heavy music in 2001, and what made the album feel so dangerous and different at the time. We also dig into the album itself — the songs, sound, production, imagery, and intensity — before looking at ‘IOWA‘s lasting legacy and its influence on the heavy music that followed. Twenty-five years later, ‘IOWA’ remains one of the defining heavy albums of its era, and we continue to ride for it. Long live the ’Knot.
