Anders Colsefni Revives the Spirit of Slipknot with Crowz at 'Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.' Concert

On June 6, 2026, the metal world witnessed a monumental reunion of sorts as Anders Colsefni, the original frontman of SLIPKNOT, unleashed the ferocity of 'Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.' at Wooly’s in Des Moines, Iowa. Backed by a cadre of seasoned Midwest musicians he dubs THE CROWZ, Colsefni brought a thunderous celebration of the album that catapulted the band from the seedy underground clubs to the gargantuan stages of the world.

This concert wasn't just another gig; it was a cathartic homage to the late SLIPKNOT legends Joey Jordison and Paul Gray, with Colsefni declaring, "This record is dedicated to my eternal brothers." The profound sentiment echoed throughout the venue, as fans, known affectionately as Maggots, rallied together to honor the fallen icons of metal.

After a staggering 25 years of bootlegged whispers and mythical tales, Colsefni’s re-recording of the album is finally here, thanks to a whirlwind 'Numetal Mayhem' tour with New Zealand’s KAOSIS. This tour was not just a nostalgic ride down memory lane; it was a statement that the Crowz era deserves its place on streaming platforms, ensuring that this classic can reach a new generation of fans.

As the re-recording process unfolded in Aotearoa, KAOSIS played a pivotal role, producing and mixing a project that remains true to the raw energy of the original while introducing fresh arrangements. Fans who have been waiting for this moment have finally been rewarded, with the album’s authentic aggression and volatility intact, a promise Colsefni made as he honored his roots while showcasing his growth as a performer.

In a revealing podcast interview, Colsefni expressed his openness to reconnecting with his past, stating, "If they contacted me and wanted me to do something, yeah, why not?" His respect for the current SLIPKNOT lineup, particularly Corey Taylor, was evident as he acknowledged their ongoing friendship, a bond that has only strengthened over the years.

As the crowd went wild during the concert, Colsefni reminded everyone of the emotional depth behind the music, vowing to deliver each note with the same raw passion he had three decades ago. The world of metal continues to evolve, but for those who remember where it all began, the Crowz have risen, and they are here to stay.
