It has been certified Platinum in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.Ī special edition of Iowa was reissued on November 1, 2011, to celebrate its tenth anniversary. More technical than their debut, Iowa is considered the band's heaviest and darkest album. Generally positively received, it includes some of their notable songs, such as "Disasterpiece", " The Heretic Anthem", "People = Shit" and the Grammy-nominated " Left Behind" and " My Plague". Iowa was a major success, premiering in the top tens of nine countries. Despite troubles within the band and with Iowa 's development, Slipknot promoted it for almost a year. It was also the first full album to feature guitarist Jim Root after only appearing on one song from their previous album. Their relationships with each other suffered and this was later described as the darkest time of their career. With much anticipation for the album following the success of their 1999 self-titled debut, pressures on the band were high. The title derives from the band's home state, Iowa, which members have stated is one of their greatest sources of inspiration.
Released by Roadrunner Records on August 28, 2001, it was produced by Ross Robinson and Slipknot. Iowa is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot.
