Slipknot
Slipknot is an American heavy metal band formed in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1995, known for their aggressive sound and distinctive image. The band’s lineup, originally consisting of nine members, features masked personas and a chaotic stage presence that sets them apart in the metal genre. Their music combines elements of heavy metal, nu-metal, and industrial, marked by intense drumming, abrasive guitar riffs, and raw vocals. Slipknot gained prominence with their self-titled debut album in 1999 and solidified their reputation with follow-ups like “Iowa” and “Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses).” Over the years, the band has experienced lineup changes and personal tragedies but continues to influence the metal scene with their innovative approach and relentless energy.
