SlipKnot - .5 The Gray Chapter [Deluxe 2014]

.5: The Gray Chapter is the fifth major label studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot.[2] It was released in Australia, Belgium and the Netherlands on October 17, 2014, the UK on October 20, 2014 and in North America on October 21, 2014.[3] It is the first studio album by the band in six years and the first to not feature founding bassist Paul Gray and long time drummer Joey Jordison due to the death of Gray in 2010 (the title of the album being a reference to his name), and the departure of Jordison in late 2013.[2] The album includes eight singles and has received commercial and critical acclaim. Most critics noted and praised the return of their older sound from Slipknot and Iowa, while maintaining the melodies the band explored on Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). A standard and deluxe edition of the album was released.
