SLIPKNOT: #1 (sic)nesses

Slipknot has made history yet again! Their brand new DVD titled (sic)nesses, went number 1 on the Billboard DVD Charts. The DVD was recorded in June of 2009 at their historic performance at the Download Festival in the UK, in front of 80,000 maggots. Slipknot beat releases such as “The 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts” DVD, which features U2, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Joel, Black Eyed Peas and many other hit-makers. This is the third time in history that Slipknot hit the number spot in the Billboard Charts. Their 1999 release titled "Welcome to Our Neighbourhood", and their 2008 latest release "All Hope Is Gone" both hit the number 1 spot.

The DVD was produced by Shawn Crahan, most commonly known as the Clown. Here is what he had to say about this amazing accomplishment:

“(sic)nesses was one of the single hardest pieces of art for us to complete, given the circumstances,” Slipknot’s M. Shawn Crahan AKA Clown, who is the architect of (sic)nesses, said. “It’s a testament to our evolution and proof of accomplishing exactly what we set out to do over 10 years ago. We will never be the same. You will never be the same. Here’s to the future and our continuing evolution.”

(sic)nesses' was shown to thousands of fans nationwide at various movie theaters. The screening here in New York City, was attended by Clown himself, and saw fans losing their minds and moshing in the aisles during the presentation. (sic)nesses is a demonstration of one of the greatest bands of 21st century at the top of their game. It is a global phenomenon, debuting in the #1 slot in the UK, Australia and Finland. It also landed in the Top 5 in Germany, Denmark, France and Belgium and in the Top 10 in Italy and Spain. Slipknot is definitely one of the best Heavy Metal bands in history!
