In 1997, -ismist Recordings signed Slipknot and Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat was put into stores. Only 1,000 copies were made. Later, Anders left and they forced Cuddles out of the band, and they got Corey Taylor and many more members, so they had 9 members. Then in 1999 Slipknot released Slipknot instead of their other album Self-Titled Slipknot. During that time, they were signed by Roadrunner Records, and still are today.
