Two years after the tragic passing of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, a major development related to his death has surfaced in the case of a Des Moines, Iowa, doctor charged today (Sept. 5) for involuntary manslaughter. Physician Daniel Baldi was busted for over-prescribing narcotic painkillers to his patients, with one of the eight victims being revealed as Paul Gray.

Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor recently opened up in an interview about continuing the band without beloved bassist and creative mastermind Paul Gray. In the interview, Taylor described the writing of Slipknot’s upcoming album as a healing process, although it has been admittedly difficult to record and perform without the presence of Gray.

Slipknot‘s highly anticipated compilation album ‘Antennas to Hell’ is set to be released tomorrow (July 24). Having prevailed as one of modern metal’s most successful and iconic acts, Slipknot have a wealth of material to cram into an album that encompasses their career.

If indeed Slipknot are venturing toward a greatest hits record as Corey Taylor recently suggested, it looks as though all of the members will get their turn in the spotlight before it arrives.

It’s no secret that Slipknot will be touring as a part of this year’s massive Mayhem Festival lineup, which also includes Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead, the Devil Wears Prada and many others.

It seemed only fitting that at this year’s Revolver Golden Gods Awards, members of Slipknot – Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson and M. Shawn Crahan – would be on hand to present the award in the brand new Paul Gray Best Bassist category. The award was named in honor of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray who died in May 2010 from a drug overdose.

On Friday Slipknot played their first show since the passing of bassist Paul Gray. Performing for 25,000 fans at the Greek installment of the Sonisphere festival in Athens, Slipknot ripped through a 14 song set. According to a review that was posted at SonisphereFestivals.com, Gray's red jumpsuit, his mask and his bass guitar, stood symbolically at the back of the stage alongside his bandmates, who also brought back the classic red jump suits and old school style masks. Check out footage from the performance after the jump.

It's been one year since the nine became the eight. Original bassist and a founding member of Slipknot, Paul Gray, died from an accidental overdose on May 24th, 2010 in a Des Moines, Iowa hotel room.

Stone Sour and Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor sat down with Dave Kim of WGRD before last week's Avalanche Tour stop in Michigan. With Slipknot preparing to play their first shows without bassist Paul Gray, the obvious question is what is the plan for Slipknots future? “Nothing’s happening immediately, I can tell everyone that,” Taylor told WGRD. “We have no plans for an album, we have no plans to do anything other than this tour at the moment.” Taylor also talked about why he hates asians (total joke, btw), his other band Stone Sour, rumors involving him and Velvet Revolver, and his favorite terrible movies like Ice Spiders.
