Yesterday (March 14), a new version of SLIPKNOT album Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. was released which was done by band’s original vocalist Anders Colsefni.
But now, Colsefni took to his Facebook page to issued a statement regarding the new version of album, revealing that album was released without his consent.
He wrote in a statement:
Hey everyone, Anders Colsefni here.
I wanted to touch base with you about the MFKR release that happened yesterday. It was released without my consent.
I hadn’t finished going through the audio mixes on the songs when the video was released. This remake was NOT a finished product and I hadn’t even seen the video prior to its release.
I am very regrettably going to have to cancel this summer’s MFKR tour, but instead will be remaking this masterpiece back home. I hope you will trust me to do this properly and make you and the die-hard, old school Slipknot fans proud.
Then, we will look to put this tour together again, beginning where it began, and spreading as far as you want it to.
MFKR is much larger than myself, or any of us who wrote and performed it. If I have to speak for the OGs out there, I can only accept that the utmost care and respect be given to our honoring of this icon of metal history.
I apologize for any confusion this has caused!
In the eerie atmosphere of Halloween 1996, 600 copies of Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. was unleashed. For a quarter-century, the album has remained shrouded in myth, spawning numerous bootlegs while eluding an official presence on streaming platforms.
Before there were Maggots, there were Crowz and the Crowz have been waiting patiently for half their lives for this record to be re-released and now that moment has arrived. This record is the holy grail for the original SLIPKNOT fans.
