Slipknot released the demo tape in 1996 when Colsefni fronted the masked metallers. Corey Taylor took over in 1997.
Later this year, the band’s ex-front person will perform ‘Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.’ in full on a 12-date run of dates in Australia and New Zealand as part of a ‘Numetal Mayhem’ tour alongside ex-Mushroomhead singer Waylon Reavis.
Giving his blessing for the performances, Taylor tweeted: “Really wish I could be there to see these shows, but I know Anders Colsefni is going to crush them.”
