Purity is a song that appeared on the second, self-titled album "Slipknot" alongside it was the song Frail Limb Nursery. This song was the cause of the album's rerelease due to the possible uprising of a lawsuit. The song is about a girl named Purity Knight that was apparently brutally kidnapped and buried alive, the story was fabricated by crimescene and is ultimately untrue. Corey however found the story at Crimescene.com and, not knowing it was untrue, wrote a song about it; transforming the demo "Despise" into the song "Purity". As a result it was placed onto Slipknot's first Road Runner outing. On a lighter note the owner of crimescene.com has been grateful to Slipknot for a significant increase in hits and thus we may be able to hear Purity once again… (maybe as a rerelease). The song has recenty been confirmed for a rerelease on the band's upcoming DVD release.
The album was originally released with Frail Limb Nursery and Purity as tracks 8 and 9, but Slipknot had to re-release the album without those tracks. In their place, Slipknot decided to put 'Me Inside', which I believe was supposed to be a digi-pak song. Purity and Frail Limb Nursery were removed because of a legal dispute. I believe Corey read the Purity story on the internet and thought it was real and wrote a song about it, but it wasn't real, so it was copyrighted. When crimescene.com found out about this they threatened to sue Slipknot. Frail Limb Nursery and Purity. If you want the rest of the songs on the album, go buy it.
Purity Marie Knight (AKA Ariadne P. Knight) was born October 11, 1976, in Mountain Home, Arkansas. An academically gifted child, Purity also showed prodigious vocal talent from the age of eight. Until she attended high school Purity received voice lessons from Maddy Frye, whose past pupils include country music ingenue LeAnne Rimes, and appeared in numerous recitals.
Born into a deeply religious family, Purity spent her childhood as a devout Christian. Aside from the church choir, in which she became a soloist at the age of twelve, as a teenager Purity also volunteered to help teach Sunday School and participate in the local Christmas food drive.
Purity excelled academically at high school, especially in math and science, and in the fall of 1995 entered Reed College in Portland, Ore., on full scholarship. Despite initially planning to pursue studies in the sciences, Purity became increasingly interested in philosophy and the origins of religion, and elected to spend the summer of 1996 in a kibbutz in Israel. She was declared missing when she failed to return to Reed for registration. In January, 1997, Purity Knight entered the University of Mississippi. Her move to Oxford was covered in the national press. She never accounted for her whereabouts during the previous months.
Purity's father, Frank Knight, is deputy district attorney of Baxter County, Arkansas. Her mother, Judith Knight, is a homemaker. Purity had one sister, Valerie Vilson, whose murder in 1995 was recently solved.
