Slipknot - .5: The Gray Chapter

 

Limited edition double LP pink colored vinyl!

Fifth studio album by heavy metal masters Slipknot

Slipknot's fifth album for Roadrunner Records was released in October 2014. .5: The Gray Chapter was so named in honor of their late bass player, Paul Gray, who passed away in 2010. Gray had been integral not only to the band but also to its creative output.

Slipknot lost a brother and a writer. They also said goodbye to drummer Joey Jordison in 2013, and combined with Gray's death it raised questions not only about the future of the band but where its songs were going to come from.

In short, there was some trepidation about this record before a note had been heard.

Still, this follow-up to 2008's All Hope Is Gone was the first to feature their new rhythm section. Marking a return to a more raw, brutal, dissonant sound reminiscent of their earlier work, the album includes the singles "The Negative One" and "The Devil in I."
