The origin of Slipknot dates back to 1995. It is an American heavy metal band based in Des Moines, Iowa. Their music is extreme and enraged, with recurrent changes of pace, and an affluence of sonic detours. Their mix of post-Korn alternative metal, Marilyn Manson-esque neo-shock rock, and rap-metal helped them to gain a major popularity in the so-called new-metal explosion of the late 90s. The current line-up of Slipknot includes Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Corey Taylor. Each member of the band carries a distinctive Halloween mask and matching uniforms. Aside from their real names, the band memebers are also referred to by numbers 0 through 8 which adds to their mysterious anonymity.
In 1999 the band released their debut album which was titled “Slipknot”. Their next two albums were “Iowa” (2001) and “Vol.3 (The subliminal verses)” (2004). Their fourth album came out in 2008. The band has been chosen for 6 Grammy awards for their amazing tracks including, “wait and bleed”, “my plague”, “left behind”, “duality”, and “vermilion”.
Today, Slipknot is classified among popular musical groups of the Contemporary music scene, with their melodic singing, strong lyrics and violent stage antics that captures the hearts of it audiences all around the world.
