This is a comprehensive discography of Slipknot, a nine-membered Des Moines, Iowa-based nu metal band. The band, which formed in 1995, has released three studio albums, three DVDs, one live album, ten singles and eleven music videos. This list does not include material performed by members of Slipknot that was recorded with Stonesour, Murderdolls, To My Surprise, Dirty Little Rabbits or solo material by DJ Starscream.
The band has a large line-up, which includes two additional percussionists and electronics (samples and turntables), in addition to three guitarists, a drummer and a vocalist. The band is known for its distinctive appearance; each member wears individual masks and matching uniforms during all live performances. Back in 1996 the band self-financed and self-released the album Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat., however the band strictly regard it as a demo album. After experiencing many changes in the line-up, Slipknot released its eponymous debut album in 1999, after which there have been no further changes to the band. After two years of touring, their follow-up Iowa was released in 2001. The album went to number one in the UK Albums Chart and peaked at the third spot on the Billboard 200. After touring and work with side-projects, Slipknot returned in 2004 with its third album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), which debuted at number two in the US. In 2005 Slipknot released their first live album, 9.0: Live. All of the band's studio albums and DVDs have been certified Platinum by the RIAA. Their debut album and their second DVD, Disasterpieces, achieved double and quadruple Platinum status respectively. Slipknot has sold in excess of ten million albums worldwide.[1] The band are currently recording their fourth studio album, which is expected to be released in September 2008.

Retrieved on 2008-03-17. “Before Slipknot got signed they were working on a "revised" MFKR with better produced versions of those songs, along with newer stuff that was written with Corey on vocals, This was to do two things: 1) Give them a quality demo to shop to labels. 2) If not signed, they could put it out independently as a replacement for MFKR. Some of this stuff was recorded at SR with Sean McMahon, some was done at Juniors' Motel in Otho. It really depended on what was needed at the time. Some of those songs have many multiple versions and mixes. For example, there are at least two versions of 'Prosthetics' that I have heard prior to the S/T. Some songs, like Snap, were done quickly at Otho and sent out as a demo to give record companies something new compared to MFKR.”

Retrieved on 2008-03-17. “Soon Shawn contacted Mike Lawyer, due to an interest in recording some studio work.(...)The band soon started work on their first project, dubbed, MFKR. "Mate Feed Kill Repeat". (...)During his arrival, the MFKR album was already in its mixing stages. The mixing of MFKR was anything but smooth, each song being remixed many times.(...)The album was sent out to many people and a person named Sophia at a local station KKDM managed to hear it and liked it.(...)The band continued the onslaught of supporting their debut Mate Feed Kill Repeat. According to ISMIST records the distributor, there were only 1000 copies of this made and distributed by the band as a promotional tool.”
- ^ The Metal Observer MFKR review. Retrieved on 2008-03-17. “Well not exactly since this album was only printed to a number of 1000 copies and was soon lost in the empty void of the past. Even now, SLIPKNOT-members don't talk much about their true first release.(...)Another interesting fact with this CD is that it contains songs that can be found on their self-titled CD ["Only One" and "Tattered & Torn" as well as other riffs here and there from the other songs] and also "Gently" which should appear on their 3rd release "Iowa"”

'At the time, that first album was the best thing ever,' he told hiponline.com. 'It's a sick, demented, magical album. But we don't support it anymore. It really didn't have any structure. We'd try anything as a band, as long as we felt it belonged to Slipknot."(talking about Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat.)”
