Some more details have surfaced on the upcoming Slipknot 2-DVD effort Voliminal: Inside The Nine. Here's the skinny from the official press release:
"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."
"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.' In addition to personal band interviews, the second DVD will include bonus live footage taken from festivals and television performances from around the world and the music videos from Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) - "Duality," "Vermilion," "Before I Forget," "The Nameless" and the controversial "Vermilion 2," which was never officially released. Fans will also get an up-close view of the "death masks" Slipknot use in concert."
The outing will see a December 5 release. Meanwhile, in the same press release band percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan had fun being inflammatory and had the following to say:
"I'm not worried about going anywhere because we're only getting better. We constantly remind all of you that we don't push the envelope because we are the envelope."
Cold frontman Scooter Ward has changed the name of his solo project The Witch, it will now be known as When November Falls. Ward will officially begin recording material for the debut effort from the 'group', which carries an album title of The Series Of Emotion, on November 1. In the meantime, rough demos of the two new tracks "Symphony For A Mad World" and "Let The Rain Begin" have been posted online. The Series Of Emotion is tentatively set for a March 2007 release date.
The Deftones and Thrice are reportedly planning to tour Australia together next year. The Deftones will release their new album Saturday Night Wrist on October 31. The Deftones released a single for their track "Hole In The Earth" in the UK. The outing was released in the following two formats:
CD Single:
01 - "Hole In The Earth"
02 - "Hexagram" (live)
Maxi CD Single:
01 - "Hole In The Earth"
02 - "My Own Summer (Shove It)" (live)

Dead Poetic have dropped off of their previously announced run with the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Lorene Drive and Madina Lake. The band has not given a conclusive statement, as to why.

Don't be confused - one of our old record companies (Interscope) knew we were putting out The Hit List so this week they rushed out a compilation of old songs and called it "20th Century Masters-The Millennium Collection." Huh? Pretty sketchy.
The Hit List, is coming out on December 26 and its the Unwritten Law authorized "best of" album. We've been in the studio most of the year re-recording all of the old songs so that they are new again. We've delayed this album a couple of times already 'cos we just wanted to get it right.

One track with Lustmord, possibly one with Timmy C (Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine), Brad Wilk (Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine), and Johnny Polonsky. Just ran into Tim Alexander (Primus) and he sounds like he's interested in doing a track as well. I've approached Evil Joe B to produce and engineer once i have enough of a track in place, and may approach Botrill or Mulder for one of the others. In the meantime Matt Mitchell, our guitar tech, is engineering while we're on the road. One bit at a time."
