Anders Colsefni, the original vocalist of SLIPKNOT, will perform the band’s independently released debut album Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. in its entirety during his upcoming tour. SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor has now shared his thoughts on this announcement.
In October, fans of the nu-metal genre in Australasia are in for a treat as former lead singers from rival bands SLIPKNOT and MUSHROOMHEAD will share the stage for the “Numetal Mayhem” tour.
Anders Colsefni and Waylon Reavis will lay to rest a 25-year feud that has played out in the press and social media. Reavis, who last appeared in Australia in 2014 as frontman for MUSHROOMHEAD, is known for his standout vocals and will perform the band’s classics like “I’ll Be Here” and “Simple Survival.” Waylon will perform hits from A KILLER’S CONFESSION and is hinting that he will be playing his infamous “Roots Bloody Roots” cover by SEPULTURA. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear these iconic tracks.
Earlier today,Taylor took to his Twitter to share a Kerrang! article about the tour, and he added: “Really wish I could be there to see these shows, but I know @anderscolsefni is going to crush them.”
In April 1996, SLIPKNOT, comprising of Colsefni, Paul Gray, Shawn “Clown” Crahan and Joey Jordison, performed for the first time at the Safari Club in Des Moines. Shortly thereafter, Mick Thompson and Craig Jones joined the band, and the course of modern metal was permanently altered.
Following their meteoric rise in the local metal scene, SLIPKNOT released Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. in October 1996, which became the foundation of their 25-year legacy. For the first time in 27 years, Anders will perform the album in its entirety in Australia and New Zealand, and it may be the only time it will ever be played live again.
