Only 10 days after being certified Platinum in Canada, SLIPKNOT's new DVD Voliminal: Inside The Nine, has reached Double Platinum status. The band's label Roadrunner Records has issued the following press release:

Grammy Award winning Slipknot can now add a Double-Platinum plaque to their mantles with the release of the new double DVD Voliminal: Inside The Nine, which hit store shelves on December 5th. This Double-Platinum certification can be added to the four other Platinum accolades for the band in Canada, including the band's self-titled debut (1999), 2001’s Iowa, the double-live Disasterpieces DVD (2002) and 2004’s Grammy Award winning Vol. 3: Subliminal Verses. (“Best Metal Performance” for the song 'Before I Forget'.)

Created and directed by Shawn Crahan (aka Clown), Voliminal: Inside The Nine offers reams of raw, gonzo footage shot across the world from backstage, onstage, on the street, in the tour bus and in the studio, offering viewers a true bird's eye view of the band. It's as though you've been granted unlimited, unprecedented access to the band. Unlike hundreds of formulaic documentary DVDs, Voliminal: Inside The Nine is undiluted, uncompromising and in your face, revealing Slipknot in all their joyous misery, and all their ugly beauty. "For the last three years, I vowed to get to the center of what I know I'm a part of, which is one of the greatest bands in the world today," Crahan says.

The first disc, titled Voliminal, is a 80-minute film made up of rapidly edited scenes shot on handheld digital cameras, for 28 months; during the making of Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and on The Subliminal Verses world tour.

The second disc of Voliminal: Inside The Nine features exclusive, in-depth interviews with each of the band members. The discussions cover ten years of band history in unflinching candor. The release of this disc marks the first time in the bands history that they are unmasked in front of the camera.

The second DVD also includes bonus live footage taken from festivals and television performances from around the world along with the music videos from Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) - 'Duality', 'Vermilion', 'Before I Forget', 'The Nameless' and the controversial 'Vermilion 2', which was never officially released. Fans will also get an up-close view of the "death masks" Slipknot use in concert.
