Slipknot drummer M Shawn Crahan - known to Slipknot heads as
Clown or #6 - has launched his own label under the Sanctuary umbrella - Big Orange Clown Records. According to Billboard his first signing is Gizmachi - a metal quintet from upstate
New York.
Commenting on his A&R ambitions for the label, Crahan told Billboard:
"I'm always looking for that song - whether it's classical, country, rap, hip-hop, hardcore, metal, whatever - I'm looking for people who dig into their souls and they mean it. If they do, I'm going to be involved, because they might write that song that will for one minute make the world take a second to think about it and maybe bring on change."
