From Wikipedia
Iowa is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band Slipknot. Produced by the members and Ross Robinson, it was released on August 28, 2001, by Roadrunner Records. The title refers to the band's state of origin, Iowa, which members have stated is one of their greatest sources of inspiration. With much anticipation for the album following the success of their 1999 debut album Slipknot, pressures on the band were high. Their relationships with each other suffered and this was later described as the darkest time of their career.
