Album Information
Iowa is the third album by heavy metal band Slipknot. The album was released on August 28, 2001 by Roadrunner Records.

The album's title is a reference to the band's home state (the members live relatively anonymously in Des Moines, Iowa). The cover of the album shows the head of a goat, an image the band incorporated into their live set, on their boiler suits, and in the video for "Left Behind", as the band felt they had been held as scapegoats since the release of Slipknot.

The title of the first song is (515), which is the telephone prefix code for Iowa.
