In the Insane Clown Posse’s long, winding and grease-painted history, its third album “Riddle Box” marked a turning point, when the horror-rap harlequins began their transition from regional sensation to nationally infamous Faygo-swilling duo.

Now, in celebration of the album’s 20-year anniversary, ICP is turning the crank on “Riddle Box” once again.

“It’s our most famous album,” says Joe “Violent J” Bruce, who makes up one-half of the notorious twosome, along with Joseph “Shaggy 2 Dope” Utsler. “We hear more about ‘Riddle Box’ than any other album.”

  1. ICP performed “Riddle Box” live in its entirety for the first time at Saint Andrew’s Hall in February 2013, and plans to perform the album front-to-back during a month long tour in May. Prior to that tour, the group will host its annual Big Ballas Christmas Party at the Crofoot in Pontiac on Dec. 18, and the Juggalo Weekend celebration.

“The Great Milenko,” released in 1997, made headlines for the group when it was banned by Disney, and 2009’s “Bang! Pow! Boom!” (and its science- and magnets-questioning centerpiece “Miracles”) made ICP Internet-famous. But for many Juggalos, the group’s dedicated army of fans, the 1995 release is the thrill ride that marked the entry point into the group’s Dark Carnival worldview.

The album is being re-released Friday in a deluxe box set that includes a remastered version of the CD, an extra disc of “oddities” from the “Riddle Box” era (including bonus tracks, instrumentals and a long lost voicemail message from producer Mike E. Clark) and a booklet where the Clowns share stories about every track on the album.

In an era of streaming music, digital tracks and declining sales, box sets are antiquated relics of the record industry’s plush days. But ICP’s fans still crave physical product, J says.

“A lot of Juggalos are collectors,” says J, seated alongside Shaggy in the recording studio of the group’s Farmington Hills headquarters earlier this week. “It still makes sense for us to press up hard CDs. A lot of Juggalos are older, they want the CDs, they want something they can hold in their hands.”

“Riddle Box” followed the group’s first two “Joker’s Card” albums, 1992’s “Carnival of Carnage” and 1994’s “Ringmaster,” which made enough noise in Detroit and the surrounding area to earn the attention of Jive Records. The group had signed a deal with Jive, who initially wanted to release an EP from the Clowns but later ordered a full album.

There were stipulations: Jive wanted the album to include a remix of “Chicken Huntin,’ ” a song that appeared on “Ringmaster.” “We thought that was so stale,” J says. But the label was insistent, and sent over specs for a remix that the Clowns deemed “horrible” and rejected. But that remix included a two-note electric guitar riff that the Clowns lifted, re-recorded and used as the basis for a new version of “Chicken Huntin,’ ” which they tacked on the album against their will. It would go on to become one of their most famous songs. “They were right,” J says, “and it turned out to be a great move.”

ICP, who were living in an apartment building on Prentis in the Cass Corridor at the time, used their advance check from Jive and purchased three converted cargo vans that they wrapped in “Riddle Box” decals and used as promo vehicles. They drove them down to Dallas and set up camp there for a month, handing out sampler CDs at area high schools and record stores, mirroring the promotional tactics they had employed in Detroit. “And next thing you know, we had a little bit of a spark in Dallas,” J says.

He laughs when comparing the promotional grind of the ’90s to the social media-centric strategies of today.

“It was just dope days, man,” says J, who, due to a new diet and exercise routine, has shed 140 pounds off his frame in the last year. “You can only be new once. We fortunately got to be new for a long time, because we were new in different areas.”

“Riddle Box” also marked a new peak for the group in Detroit: It was the first time ICP earned radio play in their hometown, when the humorously gruesome “Dead Body Man” became a fixture on WHYT-FM (96.3).

ICP performed “Riddle Box” live in its entirety for the first time at Saint Andrew’s Hall in February 2013, and plans to perform the album front-to-back during a month long tour in May.

Prior to that tour, the group will host its annual Big Ballas Christmas Party at the Crofoot in Pontiac on Dec. 18, and the Juggalo Weekend celebration will take place Feb. 19-20 at Saint Andrew’s Hall and Harpo’s in Detroit.

While planning a series of reissues — a 20th anniversary edition of “The Great Milenko” is planned for 2017, and a commemorative edition of “The Amazing Jeckel Brothers” will follow in 2019 — ICP continues to focus on the present. The group released two albums this year, and J and Shaggy are plotting solo releases for 2016.

“We’re always looking forward, we keep ICP new and don’t just live in the past,” Shaggy says. “Our wagon wheels are going forward. We’re still moving.”

Insane Clown Posse are a cartoonish metal/rap band with a vaunted live show that features open fires, chain saws, liters of soda dousing the audience (Faygo being the group's favorite brand), and more emphasis on performance art than the performance of music. In the world of the late '90s, that was more than enough to get them a recording contract with a major label, though the release of their 1997 album, The Great Milenko, came with a bit of controversy. Now just a duo, ICP were originally formed in 1989 as a hardcore Detroit rap group called Inner City Posse. After combusting in 1991, the only members left, Violent J (born Joseph Bruce) and Shaggy 2 Dope (born Joseph Utsler), slightly altered the name to reflect the fact that they had been visited by the Carnival Spirit, who ordered them to carry word of the impending apocalypse by touring the nation and releasing six 'joker cards' (popularly known as LPs) with successive revelations of the final judgment. The first, Carnival of Carnage, appeared in 1992 on their own Psychopathic Records label. The group became notorious in Detroit's underground scene, but several tours around the region failed to ignite much more than the rage of area leaders. After the release of 1994's The Ringmaster, ICP began to get a bit of attention as a possible follower of cartoon metal bands like GWAR and Green Jelly. Jive Records signed the group and released The Riddle Box in 1995, but the record bombed and ICP returned to the ranks of the indies. Just one year later, Hollywood Records gambled on the band and spent more than a million dollars while ICP recorded their new album, The Great Milenko. On the day of release in 1997, however, Hollywood pulled the record, citing obscene lyrics and gruesome content -- possibly a move by its owner, Disney, to deflect criticism of its practices by the Southern Baptist Federation. In a bizarre twist, yet another major label, Island Records, stepped in to release the album and capitalize on the notoriety ICP had garnered. That notoriety only increased thanks to several incidents that kept them in the headlines: J was arrested after clubbing an audience member with his microphone in late 1997, and shortly thereafter, the group's tour bus ran off the road, leaving J with a concussion. Next, the group and its entourage were involved in a brawl at a Waffle House in Indiana, and both members eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct charges. All the chaos took its toll, as J suffered a panic attack in April 1998 while on-stage in Minnesota. However, all of the publicity helped expand the group's cult following to the point where its next album, the 1999 concept record The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, debuted in the Top Five. As evidenced by the numerous different collectible covers for The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, ICP had become a virtual merchandising machine, complete with comic books to flesh out their elaborate Dark Carnival mythology; they also wrote and starred in their own straight-to-video movie, Big Money Hustlas, and made guest appearances at wrestling events. The group spent the summer of 1999 bickering with various tourmates (Coal Chamber in particular) and played at the ill-fated Woodstock '99. Early in 2000, Shaggy collapsed on-stage, but the cause was deemed to be nothing more than a combination of the flu and low blood sugar; however, while staging a wrestling event several months later, Shaggy fell off a steel cage, breaking his nose and cheekbone. Still, ICP managed to make it into the studio to record a follow-up album, and Big Money Hustlas was finally released. On Halloween 2000, the group issued its sixth album, which apparently did not count (as all the other albums had) as a 'joker card' (in the ICP fantasy world, the sixth joker card was supposed to signal the apocalypse). Similar to Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion, the album was released in two completely different, separate versions, titled Bizzar and Bizaar. Finally needing to live up to the years of hype, 2002's The Wraith: Shangri-La revealed that the hidden message of their music was always to follow God and make it to Heaven. Considering the murder fantasies of 'Beverly Kills 50187' and the necrophilic overtones of 'Cemetery Girl,' this may have been a shock to longtime fans. In August 2004 the band released the sixth and final joker card, Hell's Pit, in two separate editions. Both had the same CD but were packed with different DVDs. Yet the Dark Carnival wasn't fully shuttered. Spring 2005 found ICP hyping a new direction for the mythology, to be revealed with the May release of Calm. The EP also prepped Insane Clown Posse's devoted fan base for the sixth annual Gathering of the Juggalos that July. Their 2007 effort, The Tempest, found the duo reuniting with producer Mike E. Clark, the man behind the first four joker card releases. Clark stuck around for their 2009 Bang! Pow! Boom! album. Featuring Freshness, a two-disc collection of the group's work with other artists, arrived in 2011. A year later, the conceptual The Mighty Death Pop focused on their detractors and other 'certified hoes,' with Clark returning as producer. In 2015, The Marvelous Missing Link (Lost) landed as the first of that year's two albums, while The Marvelous Missing Link (Found) landed later in the year. ~ John Bush.
