Slipknot



Slipknot (sometimes typeset as SlipKnoT in imitation of the logo) are an American nu metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. While the group has gone through several line-up changes, the band has remained unchanged since 1999 consisting of Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson and Corey Taylor.
Slipknot's line-up allows the band to create a densely layered sound featuring a typical heavily down-tuned guitar set-up (lead, rhythm, and bass guitars), two percussionists in addition to the primary drummer, and electronics (samplers and turntables). The band's sound has been described as "a threshing machine devouring a military drum corps." The band also incorporates diverse vocal styles, typically involving growled vocals, melodic singing and even rapping while the lyrics generally follow a very aggressive tone.
Slipknot's root lie back as far as 1992 and eventually the band formed in November 1995. The band underwent many line-up changes before releasing their highly successful debut album Slipknot in 1999. Their popularity rose with this release, and they started become a popular nu metal band. Since which time they have released two other albums, Iowa and Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). Slipknot are expected to release a fourth album in 2008.
