BARON'S STRONG BREW is proud to present SLIPKNOT
"The Subliminal Verses Tour" Live in Singapore on August 16th at the Fort
Canning Park. |

For one exclusive performance in Asia, Slipknot is
going to rock Singapore like it has never been rocked before. Drummer Joey
Jordison said, "We've always wanted to perform in Singapore for a long time.
We can't wait to get on stage and show Singapore what Slipknot is all about!
This will be a show to remember." |

Without limits, pushing boundaries and
non-conformity are some terms used aptly to describe Slipknot. Similarly,
Baron's Strong Brew has always exuded a strong presence and relentless
attitude that gives the brew the potent personality that many can identify
with today. |
|
"The image that Baron's Strong
Brew personifies is one that is strong, cutting-edge and efficacious. This
resonates very strongly with the avid fans of Baron's who believe in
empowerment and indulgence," said Sebastian Loh, Brand Manager of Baron's
Strong Brew. Commenting on how Baron's can push the effervescence of this
concert to an even higher level, Sebastian Loh added, "Slipknot is one of the
most compelling heavy-metal groups to date and this high-energy performance
echoes the robust and indulgent attitude that Baron's Strong Brew embodies." |
|
Promoter Laurrieta Alaabons of LAMC Production
said, "Slipknot is the biggest metal act to play Singapore since Metallica.
It's a real milestone to bring them here. Anyone who loves the energy of a
live rock show should not miss this." |

Fan and critics unanimously agree that Slipknot is
the most exciting rock band in the World today! An explosive performance by
SLIPKNOT coupled with an equally strong brew - Baron's, the show promises

"It takes about three days to recover from a
Slipknot Show. If it's not the deafening volume or the incredible energy and
musical violence that gets you it's the realization that you've just had the
most powerful, heavy and ass-kicking, take-no-prisoners musical experience of
your life and the only way you'll come close to it again is at another
Slipknot show." - Benji Bartlett of GUITARIST MAGAZINE |
|
"The nine piece human threshing machine played new
songs and older songs, with all of them generating a massive response?Everyone
in the band is a great entertainer as well as a solid musician" - HOLLYWOOD
REPORTER |
|
"Slipknot are simply a band that need to be seen
to be believed!" - KERRANG MAGAZINE |
|
"Throughout the nihilistic 100-minute, 15 song
set, the groups status as definers of the new millennium heavy metal aesthetic
was undeniable!" - CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER NEWSPAPER |
|
"There's clearly substance behind the (band's)
style, Slipknot proved its shows are a visual and musical experience." -
LOWELL SUN (MA) |
|
"The nine-man band harvested the best songs from
their first two discs along with a few new tunes" Success hasn't spoiled
Slipknot nor the followers they affectionately call "maggots." "this was a no
gimmick concert that stayed focused on the music." - NEW YORK POST |
|
"What makes this music so attractive for an
increasingly diverse fandom -- from college students to white collar
professionals such as brokers and lawyers -- is its "difference" from the
commercialized mainstream. Music that breaks nearly every conceivable rule for
morality is embraced by fans because it breaks through the "noise" of
commercial culture. It's a refreshing time-out from the pressures of
commercial conformity, a place where difference, self-expression and equality
are celebrated, if not demanded. It is a temporary escape from a world in
which, it seems, everything is a commodity." - DR. KAREN HALNON, PROFESSOR
Penn State University Author of "Alienation Incorporated" |

Born of the near-desolation of Iowa, Slipknot
bursts forth from the American heartland in 1999 with some of the most
awe-inspiring, cathartic rock the world has ever heard. Vetting their
collective psyche not only through their songs, but also through their masks,
their uniforms, their live shows, and even their fans and the culture they
inhabit. Slipknot holds nothing back! The depth of their expression is matched
by that of their musical prowess- this tornado is laser-guided, and fellow
musicians, critics and the fans know that Slipknot is deadly serious about its
art. Thus, after two platinum albums, two platinum home videos, and cover
stories in Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Revolver to name a few, we come
to Slipknot's ultimate expression: VOL. 3: (THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES). |
