Slipknot photo book set for North American release

Slipknot

The book Slipknot: Dysfunctional Family Portraits is to get a North American release.

The photo book compiled by tour photographer Paul Harries was launched in Europe last year but is now set to be published in the US and Canada on April 19.

It features iconic shots of the Iowa band and includes never-before-seen pictures of Corey Taylor and co.

Harries said: “The reason it’s called Dysfunctional Family Portraits is because Slipknot really is a family. The way they are and the way the present themselves – they’re not like any normal family.

“I did speak to Clown about the title and he said his wife said to him in the very early days of Slipknot that Slipknot needed to be dysfunctional in order to be functional.”

It’s available for pre-order from Amazon and features approximately 150 photos.

Slipknot will head out on the road this summer with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice And Men across North America, starting in Salt Lake City on June 9.
