.5: The Gray Chapter was a long and difficult process for Slipknot, between not having its original drummer or bassist. Nonetheless, the band finished the record and it was well-received, as it should be considering how damn good it is!
Now Jim Root is releasing a DVD called Jim Root: The Sound And The Story – .5: The Gray Chapter, where he'll show you how to play the songs and a look at how they were written and recorded. The above trailer pretty much speaks for itself and looks awesome.
