Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
Anders Colsefni will be revisiting his 1996 demo release with Slipknot: “I am psyched to pull this record out of the crypt and deliver it again… probably for the last time ever.”
Original vocalist Anders Colsefni will be performing early 1996 Slipknot demo Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. in full on tour this year.
Anders is set to team up with former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon Reavis for the co-headline Nu-Metal Mayhem tour, happening in Australia and New Zealand later this year.
Backed by his backing band The Feeders, Anders says of performing his first and only Slipknot release live: “Ever since Xen [Kaosis singer] called me and let me know we were on for the tour, I have been training every day, not just vocals but kickboxing and cardio. I am fit, strong and ready to tear Australasia apart! I am psyched to pull this record out of the crypt and deliver it again… probably for the last time ever.”
“Australia is at the top of my list of places I have toured,” adds Waylon. “The people, the atmosphere and the weather are mind-blowing. I am also honoured to finally get down to meet all my New Zealand fans. It’s just going to be amazing.”
