Slipknot prepares to release their latest DVD, Voliminal: Inside The Nine on 12/5 from Roadrunner Records. You will be shaken, jarred and have your attention arrested.

If any metal band has the power to educate, entertain and change lives, it's the nine-headed, hard rock enigma known as Slipknot. Since their formation in Des Moines, IA, in September 1995, the band has released three studio albums.

Created and directed by Crahan, Voliminal: Inside The Nine offers reams of raw, gonzo footage shot across the world from backstage, onstage, on the street, in the tour bus and in the studio, offering viewers a true bird's eye view of the band. It's as though you've been granted unlimited, unprecedented access to the band. Unlike hundreds of formulaic documentary DVDs, Voliminal: Inside The Nine is undiluted, uncompromising and in your face, revealing Slipknot in all their joyous misery, and all their ugly beauty. "For the last three years, I vowed to get to the center of what I know I'm a part of, which is one of the greatest bands in the world today," Crahan says.

The first disc, titled Voliminal, is a 80-minute film made up of rapidly edited scenes shot on handheld digital cameras, for 28 months; during the making of Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and on "The Subliminal Verses" world tour. This is not a slick concert film with interspersed backstage footage. Nor is it a travelogue of fantastic sights and fabulous babes. This is survival in the belly of the beast. Crahan has assembled the shots into a dizzying cacophony of deafening sound and jarring imagery that's both challenging and impossible to ignore.

The second disc of Voliminal: Inside The Nine features exclusive, in-depth interviews with each of the band members. The discussions cover 10 years of band history in unflinching candor. "The band is 10 years old and I felt that we needed to talk for real," Crahan says. "We're going into our places of choice, individually, and you're being invited all the way in. Hopefully you'll be able to stomach what is real."
