IOWA (ALBUM)


'''Iowa''' is the second album by Slipknot. The album was released on August 28, 2001 by the independent label Roadrunner Records.
The album's title is a reference to the band's home state (the members live relatively anonymously in Des Moines, Iowa). The cover of the album shows the head of a goat, an image the band incorporated into their live set, on their boiler suits, and in the video for "Left Behind", as the band felt they had been held as scapegoats since the release of ''Slipknot''.
The title of the first song, "(515)", is the telephone area code for central Iowa, where Des Moines, Slipknot's hometown, is located.
★ The song "I Am Hated" was featured in the 2003 video game ''Amplitude'' and was also performed in the film Rollerball
★ The song "My Plague" was remixed on the Resident Evil soundtrack.

New artwork


Around mid-2006 a new version of Iowa was released with the cover artwork slightly altered to having many different colors as opposed to the original shiny version, and the inlay lyrics had been printed on normal album sleeve paper instead of the original use of transparent paper. Again, the artwork was slightly altered in this too.
