Slipknot – All Hope is Gone (Orange)

Slipknot – ALL HOPE IS GONE (ORANGE) is the 2LP orange vinyl edition of the Iowa nine-piece’s fourth studio album, released on Roadrunner Records under catalog number 4686 179381. By the time this record arrived, Slipknot had already moved three platinum albums and spent a decade proving that aggressive, mask-wearing chaos could headline arenas. This pressing makes a strong physical object out of a pivotal moment in the band’s catalog.

What ALL HOPE IS GONE Means for Slipknot

Coming off three platinum records and ten years of relentless touring and recording, Slipknot entered this album with something to consolidate rather than just prove. The result is a record that balances the fury the band built its reputation on with some genuinely unexpected turns. It works as a cohesive statement, not just a collection of heavy tracks, which is why it landed the way it did and cemented Slipknot’s place among rock’s serious heavyweights rather than its novelty acts. The twelve tracks move through full-throttle aggression on cuts like “Psychosocial” and “Gematria (The Killing Name)” before pulling back on something like “Snuff,” showing range without losing identity. That willingness to let all nine members contribute distinct weight to a single, unified record is what separates this from a lot of metal releases of its era.

The Format: Orange Vinyl, 2LP

This is a double LP pressing on orange colored vinyl, which gives the album the room it needs to breathe across four sides without the compromises that come from cramming a long runtime onto a single record. The orange pressing is a specific variant, and colored vinyl on a record this heavy hits differently on the shelf and on the platter. Roadrunner put this out properly formatted, and the catalog number 4686 179381 is the one to know if you’re tracking variants. For collectors who want a physical version of this album that goes beyond a standard black pressing, this orange 2LP is the one worth owning.

Why This Copy Belongs in Your Collection

Slipknot sits in a genuinely interesting spot for vinyl collectors. Their fanbase is massive, their catalog is well-documented, and colored variant pressings of their studio albums move. ALL HOPE IS GONE represents the end of the band’s first major chapter, the point where everything they had built across Iowa and Vol. 3 came together into something considered and complete. Owning it on orange vinyl is the right way to own it. If you already have their earlier records on wax, this belongs alongside them. If this is your entry point into collecting Slipknot physically, it’s a strong one.
