Slipknot (Crowz)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crowz was an unreleased album from the American nu metal band Slipknot. The album was scheduled to be released October 31 1997; however Slipknot got signed, and then they met Corey Taylor and started working on new material, the Roadrunner Records Demo.

This album was meant to do two things, 1) give them a quality label demo to shop to labels. 2) If they didn't get signed they could use it as a replacement for Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat..Most of the songs that were recorded for Crowz were reworked and were released in later albums.

Slipknot/Slipknot (Digipak)

  • "Interloper" was basically unchanged, but on Crowz there was another mix of this track "Interloper the apple of my eyes mix". Interloper was also released on the Roadrunner Records Demo.
  • "Prosthetics" was heavily reworked and rerecorded using Corey on vocals instead of Anders.
  • "Me Inside" was also heavily reworked and recorded, although this particular track already had Corey on vocals, Anders' was called "The Me Inside".
  • "Tattered and Torn" was reworked, but it used the same lyrics as it does now.
  • "Only One" was heavily reworked, but used the same lyrics as it does now.
  • "Scissors" remained basically the same, there was another track on Crowz titled "Heartache and a pair of Scissors".

  • "Gently" was very heavily reworked, and recorded. Doesn't sound the same at the least bit, but uses some of the same lyrics.
