THE REVIEW

Until a few months ago, I thought that Slipknot had only released 3 albums, namely their self-titled, "Iowa," and "Vol.3: (The Subliminal Verses)", but I was very wrong because I wasn't aware of this semi-official experimental gem.
The title of this album is "Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat." and it's from 1996. The album contains 9 tracks and at that time the singer of Slipknot wasn't the famous Corey Taylor, but the leader of Painface, Andres Conselfni. Compared to Corey, he had a more powerful voice because it was less rap-based and more metal-oriented.

Anyway, now let's move on to the CD: this is an excellent CD, made up of perfect experimental songs. It blends Jazz, electronics, rock, metal with its various nuances, etc. The result is excellent and it's no coincidence that many consider it the best Slipknot CD.

The CD opens with the song "Slipknot" and continues with "Gently," "Do Nothing - Bitchslap," "Only One," and "Tattered And Torn." So far the CD is catchy, but in my opinion, the remaining 4 songs make this CD a little masterpiece. "Confessions" is wonderful, "Some Feel" can be considered a great metal track, "Killers Are Quiet" I think is the song that can represent the CD, and "Dogfish Rising" almost brings angst, but not because the song is bad, because it was crafted very well.

In short, for me, it is a beautiful CD, a must-buy; it's a pity that it was released in only 1,000 copies (I think just 1,000). If by some stroke of luck, you find it in a music store, grab it immediately even if you don't like the genre, because a CD so good and so rare is a must-have at all costs. Bye!!!!!!!!
