"Purity" is a song by American heavy metal band Slipknot, which appeared on the original version of the band's 1999 self-titled debut album. Due to copyright infringement issues, "Purity" and the interlude track "Frail Limb Nursery" were removed from later editions of the album. "Purity" was later reinstated for the 10th Anniversary edition of the album where it was preluded by the end of "Frail Limb Nursery".[4]
