Availability

This demo is very hard to find and is considered the most coveted collectors item. But somehow the demo has fully leaked and are available from the following sources

• The songs "Interloper" and "Despise", both of which also can be found on the Digipak version of Slipknot's self-titled album.

• The song "Snap" was available on the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack, which is also now out of print. The song is now only available through Digital Download.

• The songs "Wait And Bleed" and "Spit It Out" were the two songs that have leaked. These were the only two songs on the CD that have been leaked from the actual CD. Many P2P Networks that have this demo for download have all the songs, but "Wait And Bleed" And "Spit It Out" were the only ones from the actual CD.
