Twiztid have cracked open the coffin lid on another slice of their horrorcore legacy, re-releasing the video for ‘Leave Me Alone’ as part of their ongoing Freek Show Fridays series.
Freek Show was released on October 31st, 2000 and ‘Leave Me Alone’ remains one of the most enduring cuts from it, this album was the one that really cemented them as underground icons. The videos were originally released during the pandemic and only now are seeing the light of day once again, on the lead up to the 25th anniversary. Offering newer fans a taste of that raw, unfiltered era and long time Juggalos a blood soaked hit of nostalgia!
Twiztid ‘Leave Me Alone’ Video
The Freek Show Fridays series is Twiztid’s way of counting down to the album’s 25th anniversary on Halloween, dropping rare visuals to celebrate a quarter century of twisted legacy. Past entries include videos for ‘Fall Apart’ and ‘Do You Really Know’ and Mutant X. Each reviving moments from a time when the band’s face paint and lyrical stampeded felt very much like a middle finger to the mainstream!
