About the band

Slipknot is an American nu-metal band formed in 1995 in Des Moines, Iowa, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in the genre. Known for their aggressive, chaotic sound, the band blends heavy metal, alternative rock, industrial, and elements of hardcore punk, creating a unique and intense musical experience. Their self-titled debut album (1999) and its follow-up, Iowa (2001), were pivotal in shaping the nu-metal movement, with their raw, emotional lyrics, complex rhythms, and brutal, percussive instrumentation. The band’s signature look, featuring matching jumpsuits and eerie, custom masks, became iconic in the metal scene. Slipknot's abrasive style, combined with themes of alienation and introspection, resonated deeply with fans, solidifying them as pioneers of the genre. They influenced not only nu-metal but also the broader heavy metal landscape, inspiring bands that followed to embrace a blend of heaviness, aggression, and theatricality.
