SLIPKNOT is back in action mounting the "Subliminal Verses Tour: The Final Volume" to wrap up the touring cycle on the band's current, critically acclaimed album — "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)". The band is also poised to unleash an as-yet-untitled, a deluxe double disc package of live material from previous touring stints.

The multi-platinum metal act can now add Top 20 ticket-sellers of 2005 to their list of achievements, having reached #17 on Pollstar's 2005-in-progress ticket sales list. The band is in great company, besting acts like VELVET REVOLVER, JUDAS PRIEST and AUDIOSLAVE, along with the multi-act Taste of Chaos tour, among others. "Thanks to our fans, the Subliminal Verses world tour was the biggest and greatest tour of our career," says drummer Joey Jordison. "To celebrate, we've decided to cap off this phase by doing a month-long tour this October/November, mainly in the Northeast and Midwest. As an added bonus, we'll be doing a few nights at some smaller clubs we wouldn't normally play. It'll be up front and in your face! Expect everything you know from us, but a lot of curveballs. Should be interesting. Hope you will join us soon for a few more nights of dysfunction."

To complement the band's intense live experience, they have selected two in-demand acts to open their shows. San Diego's AS I LAY DYING come aboard supporting their critically acclaimed album "Shadows Are Security" in the first-opener slot. Direct support for the tour are Ozzfest alums UNEARTH. They kick their touring into high gear on the Final Volume outing showcasing music from their punishing album "The Oncoming Storm".

As a lasting record of the band's explosive live set, SLIPKNOT plan to release a live album later this year. This live recording was made from shows on their successful previous tours and will be augmented by material from upcoming dates to be played in Singapore. The double disc set will be in stores on November 1, 2005 and will contain new, special art from the creative minds of the band. 11/08/2005
