Slipknot has officially sold a majority stake in their music catalog to HarbourView Equity Partners, including publishing and recorded royalties.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the deal does not include master recordings (still owned by Warner via Roadrunner Records), but it does cover royalty income, and possibly not all band members are involved.

While the final price wasn’t disclosed, Billboard previously reported the band was shopping the catalog for around $120 million, making this one of the biggest metal deals in recent memory.

With over 15.73 billion global streams and 14.6 million album units moved in the U.S., Slipknot’s legacy is now backed by serious money, and a new chapter is about to begin.

One of the best produced albums of the 80’s…

Imagine an album that opens with a singer reciting an Edgar Allan Poe poem in an exotic Germanic accent over a lush symphonic backdrop. Followed by the industrial clanging of a synth-pop anthem that suddenly segues into a jazz solo by Yes guitarist Steve Howe. An album previewed by a hit single inspired by German Expressionist icon Dr. Mabuse. Made by an Olympian-looking cadre of two women and two men, assisted by a trendsetting British producer and such major ’80s stars as David Sylvian, the Police drummer Stewart Copeland, and Anne Dudley.

The album in question is A Secret Wish, the visionary debut by German quartet Propaganda, released on Trevor Horn’s label ZTT and produced by Stephen Lipson. A moderate hit in the summer of 1985, this one-of-a-kind LP casts a powerful spell; it has survived the test of time, become a cult item with a fervent fan base, and is now being reissued as a remastered 6-CD box set with demos, remixes, and live versions.

“We wanted to be really different,” says Susanne Freytag, whose sensuous reading of Poe on opening cut “Dream Within A Dream” sets the slightly delirious, cinematic mood of the session from the very beginning. “We didn’t want to have guitars or anything. There was also the notion of having two men and two women on a very equal kind of stand. An egalitarian band was the initial concept.”

The band reflects on A Secret Wish, the 1985 album that mixed Edgar Allan Poe, industrial beats, and unapologetic romanticism into something truly unique at the link in the comments.
