Slipknot is the second album (Mate.Feed.Kill.

Repeat is their first, but was released independently) by musical band Slipknot, considered by most critics a nu metal album. The album was released on June 29, 1999 by Roadrunner Records. A digipak version was released on March 7, 2000, followed by a "Clean" version (with swear words dubbed out) on March 14; the digipak was re-released on August 9.

The cover of the album simply shows the band members in their masks and boilersuits: the anti image for which the band would become famous.
In 2001 Q magazine named Slipknot as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.

Powerslave is the fifth studio album by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 3 September 1984. It is notable for its Egyptian theme displayed in the album art. It contains a musical re-telling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", which uses pieces of the original poem as lyrics, and is the longest song Iron Maiden have ever recorded.

The album is also notable amongst the band's albums as being the first album to feature the same lineup as the previous one. As of 2006, this is the last of the band's albums to contain an instrumental track. "2 Minutes to Midnight" and "Aces High" were released as singles.

The 1995 re-release contains a bonus disc, which contains the b-sides of the original singles.
On the 1998 remastered re-release, the songs "Back in the Village" and "Powerslave" were separated in the wrong place, with the intro of "Powerslave" accidentally being attached to the end of "Back in the Village".
