Slipknot is reportedly in discussions to sell their full back catalogue for $120 million.
Billboard Pro reports that the masked metal icons are close to finalizing a major deal with HarbourView Equity Partners.
If completed, the agreement would see Corey Taylor’s band hand over both their publishing and master recording royalties for every release since their self-titled 1999 debut album. However, the deal would not include any upcoming music.
Over the years, Slipknot have delivered some of metal’s most iconic songs, including Wait and Bleed, Duality, and Psychosocial.
The news comes after the band parted ways with their longtime label, Roadrunner Records, back in 2022. Their most recent studio project was The End, So Far, which also arrived in 2022.
Though the group hasn’t commented publicly on the potential sale, the move mirrors a trend among major artists choosing to cash out on their music rights.
Just last month, Kelly Clarkson struck a similar deal with HarbourView Equity Partners, selling a portion of her catalogue that included defining hits such as Since U Been Gone, Because of You, Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), and Behind These Hazel Eyes.
In a statement, Kelly reflected on the personal weight of the decision: "My music is such a huge part of my journey – not just professionally, but personally. Knowing these songs will continue to be heard and discovered by new generations means everything to me. I’m grateful to HarbourView for valuing and supporting this catalogue the way they do."
Other legendary names such as Queen, KISS, Pink Floyd, Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young have also made multi-million-dollar catalogue sales in recent years, solidifying the booming market for music rights.
