This month has been christened 'Sicksense September' here on 'My Classic Album' as members of this fantastic new band join Mike to discuss the classic albums that have inspired them! First up it's Robbie J. Fonts (also of Stuck Mojo) who has chosen the debut album from metal legends Slipknot!
Emerging from the Iowa music scene, Slipknot turned metal on it's head upon signing to Roadrunner Records and releasing their first album in 1999. As parents freaked at the masked ninesome, the youth found a band that spoke their language.
What unbelievable measures did producer Ross Robinson go to to get the best out of the band in the studio?
Which track from 'Slipknot' earned the band their first Grammy nomination?
Why was 'Purity' removed from the tracklist shortly after the album's release?
PLUS: Enjoy 'Kings Today', the title track from Sicksense's debut EP!
