Slipknot, hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, exploded onto the late 1990s scene as one of the most iconic forces in alternative and nu metal. Their sound — violent, chaotic, and cathartic — is matched by their unique aesthetic: each member wears a mask and numbered jumpsuit, representing both anonymity and unity through rage. This visual concept became a defining symbol of the band’s uncompromising identity.

Their legendary nine-member lineup is identified by number: #0 Sid Wilson (DJ), #1 Joey Jordison (drums), #2 Paul Gray (bass), #3 Chris Fehn (percussion), #4 Jim Root (guitar), #5 Craig Jones (samples), #6 Shawn Crahan (percussion, co-founder), #7 Mick Thomson (guitar), and #8 Corey Taylor (vocals). Together they forged an unrelenting live experience that blurred the line between performance and ritual.

Tracks like Duality, Wait and Bleed, Spit It Out, Psychosocial, People=Shit, Me Inside, and The Devil in I have become anthems for metal fans worldwide. From the raw aggression of their self-titled debut (1999) to The End, So Far (2022), Slipknot has constantly evolved, blending sonic violence with emotional depth. Despite the loss of Paul Gray (2010) and Joey Jordison (2021), the band’s ferocity and influence remain unmatched.
