Slipknot Officially Sells Catalog
Slipknot has completed a deal to sell its music catalog – said to be worth approximately $120 million — to HarbourView Equity Partners. The deal includes the rights to Slipknot’s publishing and recording master royalties but reportedly does not extend to future releases.
“After 25 years of taking on the music business, we find ourselves with a partner that is willing to sign onto continuing what Slipknot started,” band co-founder and percussionist M. Shawn Crahan (a.k.a. Clown) said in a statement. “Only they want to go even bigger. Get ready. Hail The Knot.”
“Slipknot’s music has redefined Heavy Metal and created a global cultural phenomenon,” added Sherrese Clarke, founder and CEO of HarbourView Equity Partners. “Their catalog is a testament to their influence, passion, and enduring artistry within the genre. We clearly see the cultural impact of Slipknot from the 1990s to present.

Slipknot has garnered numerous platinum and gold album certifications worldwide and have generated billions of global streams. Their latest full-length effort, “The End, So Far” went to #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and #2 on the Billboard 200 – the band’s sixth Top 10 album (out of seven released). Slipknot’s self-titled ’99 debut was their only album not to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
