"KNOTFEST," organized by SLIPKNOT, finally arrived in Japan! SLIPKNOT performed as the headliner on both days of the festival, held on November 15 and 16. This release features a complete recording of the performance from the second day, November 16, presented as a matrix mix. It combines four different In-Ear Monitor (IEM) feeds—each with a unique mix balance used by the band members on stage—with the label's own high-quality audience recording. While the release covering the previous day's show ("KNOTFEST JAPAN 2014 - DAY #1") relied solely on a soundboard source, this release incorporates the label's high-quality audience source into the mix. This allows for the perfect recreation of the venue's frenzied atmosphere. Naturally, the instrument separation is superb, resulting in top-tier audio quality comparable to "KNOTFEST JAPAN 2014 - DAY #1." Although SLIPKNOT headlined this show as well, the fact that they were performing two days in a row led to significant changes in the middle section of the setlist. The four tracks included in the setlist for this day are "Disasterpiece," "Opium of the People," "Dead Memories," and "The Blister Exists." While the previous day's performance achieved sound quality rivaling a stereo soundboard recording by mixing multiple IEM feeds, this release offers a superb, immersive audio experience that truly captures the excitement of the live venue. Both releases feature "miraculous" sound quality that is truly top-tier.
