Slipknot Gets German Gold For “All Hope Is Gone”!

Slipknot Gets German Gold For “All Hope Is Gone”!

The members of Slipknot were presented with gold awards signifying German sales of more than 100,000 copies of their latest album, "All Hope Is Gone", prior to the band's June 6, 2009 performance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Nürburgring.

Check out a photo below...

Slipknot's video for the song "Sulfur" was shot on March 9 in the Los Angeles area and was directed by Crahan and P.R. Brown, who helmed the last two Slipknot clips, "Psychosocial" and "Dead Memories". The video depicts the nine members rocking out in groups of three and submerged in water one at a time. The video concept was modeled after a video installation by Bill Viola called "Ascension" that's currently on display at the Des Moines Arts Center.

Crahan told HeadbangersBlog.com about the clip, "This is the third video I've done with Paul Brown and with each video we learn more about each other and the art of Slipknot, and we build on that knowledge with each new project. It's great to jump around and try new people, but sometimes it's better to stay with a winning team.”

"When I write a treatment, I always think - What has Slipknot not done? What can we embark upon that will be fun and knowledge-enhancing instead of the same old song and dance? - Our business can be routine, so I need the band to be able to do something brand new so we can look back at it later and say, 'God, this was different and fun and really artistic.”

In the video, the guys talks about their recent US tour with Disturbed- the “Music As A Weapon” tour- and what it's like playing to new crowds when your last tour played to your own fans. They also fill us in about how they keep themselves occupied on the tour bus!
