SLIPKNOT's Voliminal: Inside The Nine DVD has been certified Platinum in Canada with sales in excess of 10,000 copies.

Hype for the achievement reads:

"Grammy Award winning Slipknot can add another Platinum plaque to their mantles with the release of the new double DVD Voliminal: Inside The Nine. This will mark the bands fifth such accolade in Canada, other Platinum certifications include the bands self-titled debut (1999), 2001’s Iowa, the double-live DVD Disasterpieces (2002) and 2004’s Grammy Award winning Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses. (Best Metal Performance for '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."
