Slipknot Have Released Jigsaw Puzzles of Their Iconic Album Covers

Published on:

It’s raining. Nothing’s on TV. You’ve got the kids for the weekend. An unprecedented global health crisis has shut down any means of idle entertainment. How can you fill your night with an activity that’s both fulfilling and lets out a resounding, ‘Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for?’ Now, Iowa’s favorite sonic gangbang Slipknot have given you the answer: jigsaw puzzles of their classic album covers.

Slipknot have announced that they’re releasing jigsaw puzzles of their 1999 self-titled debut, 2001’s Iowa, and 2004’s Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses. Each puzzle clocks in at 500 pieces, with the Iowa puzzle even including foil printing so that fans can get that special sheen which graced the original booklet of the band’s groundbreaking sophomore effort. Interestingly enough, the band appear not to have worked with Rock Saws, the popular rock and metal art jigsaw puzzle company, showing that any artist can make their own damn puzzles with enough time and moxie.

Check ’em out:

The puzzles cost $25 a pop, and are available for preorder via Slipknot’s merch site. Estimated shipping date is May 20th, so try not to get vaccinated until then (just kidding, get vaccinated ASAP, The Pit is not run nor read by healthcare professionals, a fact we hope you’ve already assumed when we wrote a list about the sexiest death metal songs).

Meanwhile, if moshing to a puzzle (I don’t know, man, try it, see what happens?) doesn’t do it for you, you can catch Slipknot at one of their upcoming European dates:
