Slipknot
The nine-man masked crew from Des Moines, Iowa, Slipknot, are currently mixing their eagerly awaited second album - the follow-up to their eponymous '99 debut record. The album - rumoured to be called Crazy Town, Iowa - is set for a July release on Roadrunner Records. Recorded in Los Angeles with Ross Robinson (Amen/Soulfly/Korn) tracks will include People = Sh*t,Disaster Piece and New Abortion.
Lead vocalist Corey Taylor (8) told metal-is: "Its going to be a lot darker and a lot more dangerous. With the first album, we were getting our feet wet; this time we know exactly what we want to do, we know how we want to do it and its going to be unbelievable, man!

Slipknot In film!
Slipknot are set to appear in the remake of the 1975 classic sci-fi movie, Rollerball. "We, as a band, are excited to be part of this movie," the group said in a statement. "We are big fans of the original, and we know the new version will be much better." Directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard‚Last Action Hero) the Rollerball remake is set in the future, where tribes settle their arguments in an ultraviolent roller-derby rather than engaging in war.
The nine-piece outfit from Des Moines, Iowa, will appear during one of the roller-derby scenes, performing one of their tracks whilst the race goes on. The million motion picture hits theatres on 17 August in the US, with its UK release date currently unspecified.

A Word from Corey him self!!
"With the first album, we threw the f*cking glove down and now people will have to acknowledge us. The whole point was always to be more fucking dangerous than anything that had ever been out before, as were not afraid to say the f*cking truth and nothing is more dangerous than the truth!"
The band will be hitting the live front prior to the release of the album, taking in both the UK and US Ozzfest, and Corey revealed that the band are in the process of setting up some special live extras for the shows.
"Were going to build something around the theme of the album, but nothings set in stone! From what Ive heard, were going to build something thats really amazing, but at the same time, youre still going to have the sheer energy that we put into our shows musically. Its really easy to build something around you and stand around and say, Hey, check this out, it cost us a lot of money!, but f*ck that. If youre going to put on a show, put on a f*cking show!"

KoRn!!
Jonathan Davis : vocals, bagpipes
Fieldy : bass
David Silveria : drums, percussion
James "Munky" Shaffer : guitars
Brian "Head" Welch : guitars Out of the small town of Bakersfield, California, in the early nineties, came a sound. A faint whisper at first, it grew in force and intensity with time, unhindered by the yapping mouths of politicians and parents alike. It rang in their ears. It plagued their minds. It genuinely terrified them. The voice, talking in low-tuned rhythmic tones, spoke for a generation that would have no more of modern America and its leaders. A generation fed-up with lies, violence and greed from their own society. It grew and grew as more and more people realized the veracity of its claims, and adhered to its cause. The politicians grew fearful, and attempted to end its spread by censoring and denouncing. Little did they know that, six years later, that small whisper would grow into a deafening scream, a disturbingly present reminder of its own existence, and of its legions of followers...

Linkin Park
Ask Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson for a wish-list of bands he'd like to tour with, and he's ready with a response. "We told our manager, 'Pick a band and we can tour with them.' Our music reaches out in so many directions that there's pretty much an unlimited amount of cool bands with which we could play.."Delson is understandably proud of the diversity and uniqueness apparent on the band's debut album, Hybrid Theory (the band's original name). Built on an aggressive hard rock foundation, flavored with hip-hop vocal stylings and electronic flourishes, Linkin Park's sound is utterly their own, an accomplishment strengthened by the band's remarkably powerful and unforced songwriting. But almost everything about Linkin Park has been unforced, including their Southern California origins.
We try to push real things through in our lyrics; whether it's feeling insignificant or questioning your own thoughts or discovering the dark side of yourself."
INFLUENCES
Weaving influences as diverse as Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, and The Roots into a single unified whole, Linkin Park and Hybrid Theory are living proof that a fresh combination of talent, an unwavering dedication to craft, and a pure artistic vision can result in a powerful musical statement.
"I've wanted to do this my whole life, and I feel really blessed to be here," says Bennington. "A lot of hard work and dedication and faith can get you through anything and make it happen."

More Info
KoRn have revolutionized heavy music as we know it (or used to know it), by injecting several different musical influences into traditional rock, from hip-hop and rap, to 70's funk music. This strange blend gives KoRn a sound of its own. The different styles involved do, theoretically, contradict themselves, but bound together by KoRn's musical savoir-faire, give the songs such atmosphere that the show-goers cannot simply sit in their seats and say "Hmmm... nice." They feel the urge to jump in the mosh pit and enjoy the music at its core, letting all of their energy flow with the tonal explosion that KoRn puts out for them. This is how KoRn wins fans with steady, unrelenting touring, giving the fans the full experience and thus winning them for life. This strategy has given KoRn a much longer life span than the passing fad. And it shows no sign of stopping.

THE SOUND
The combination of Bennington's rich, mammoth vocal style clicked immediately with Shinoda's streetwise emceeing. "I think one of Chester and Mike's goals is to be as integrated as possible," offers Delson. "We want our sound to come across so that people go, 'oh, that's Linkin Park', not 'I heard this hip-hop part, and now they're hitting me over the head with this rock chorus.' We want everything to have dynamics, but also a continuous cohesive flavor, so that you know what band you're listening to."
THE ALBUM
It was that cohesive style and instantly memorable songs that attracted immediate attention, starting with a publishing offer after the band's very first show at L.A.'s famed Whisky. After showcasing around town and eventually inking with Warner Bros., the band began work on their first album with producer Don Gilmore (Eve 6, Lit, Pearl Jam). "We met with a lot of people and had a very difficult time deciding," says Shinoda. "But Don, aside from making things sound good, stood out as someone who could really push us further as songwriters.
