Slipknot in advanced talks for $120 million sale of full music catalogue

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.

Angine De Poitrine once again have people talking after their silent acceptance at the Billboard Canada Awards.

The anonymous and mysterious polka-dotted Montreal duo have been one of the breakout musical acts of 2026, releasing their second album ‘Vol. II’ in April, going viral around the world for their eccentric live performances and winning celebrity fans including Dave Grohl.

On Wednesday (June 10), the band were the recipients of the Global Breakthrough Award at the ceremony in Toronto’s Massey Hall, and as they took to the stage, they teased the possibility of speaking in public for the first time.

However, guitarist Khn de Poitrine and percussionist Klek de Poitrine stood silently with their award, and after a moment of anticipation, Khn touched their polka dot hat and triggered an explosion of confetti over the entire audience.

Watch here:

 

Angine De Poitrine have been touring in recent months in their home country, as well as in the UK and Europe, with dates to come in North America throughout the rest of the summer. They then head to Europe again in September, with a string of shows in the UK in October, some of which have seen venues upgraded due to phenomenal demand, See all of the dates here and find any remaining tickets here.

Last month, they kicked off the opening night of The Great Escape in Brighton with an in-demand headline set at the opening party, presented by NME.

It was later named as one of the top 10 shows of the festival by NME, who noted: “The Deep End tent bursts open for the papier-mâché-headed headliners, inciting moshpits and adulation for the viral spectacle of their microtonal madness. While AI slop may be on the rise, there’s something in the startling unpredictability and sheer musicality of these two polka-dotted aliens that feels essentially human.”

Their rapid ascent and online buzz has also reportedly led to a fake version of the band popping up in Russia.
