When I was once a metal super-newbie. I used to think, "All bands sound the same!" I thought. Every song was equally heavy, fast, and kind of loud. While drawing a roaring thicket of sound, Slipknot's sound wasSpecial presenceThe company was releasing the
The (writer's) perspective is what it is,The presence of percussion, turntables and samplers!In a normal band, there is a drummer, in Slipknot's case,Drums + percussion for twoThere are some who are
Sometimes they pound the snare in the style of a drum and fife corps, sometimes they pound the bass with percussion made from drums, and sometimes they pound the timpani (!). Slipknot's low end is heavy,Wide range of sound with numerous percussion instrumentsSo, it is made with

And coloring the rich band sound are turntables and samplers that play special and electronic sounds! Even the royal metal songsSomewhat contemporary shadesThe band's most superior sound is made possible by their ability to manipulate it.
Basically, the two electronic sound artists have a deep sense of modesty and do not assert themselves too much with their sound. They have a wonderful ability to balance the sound, beckoning the band's direction unconsciously,The exquisite smell of presence is very professional.It is.
Of course, the other members' aesthetics in sound production and the vocalists' rich variety of vocal tones are also distinctive. Not only do all kinds of daring personalities collide with each other,Meticulous calculation and logical interpretation of each other's soundSlipknot's musicality is the result of the seamless uniqueness of its music 🔥.

And speaking of Slipknot,The eccentric mask that is synonymous with! Many of you may be thinking, "I've never heard of Slipknot's music, but I know what they look like!" I've never heard of Slipknot's music, but I know what they look like! I used to be one of them. When I was in junior high school when I first saw them, I thought, "Wow, ...... must be playing wicked and loud music.
The reason for such a mask,We want to emphasize the individuality of each member and also enhance unity.I think it's a very sincere band member's reason. It's a very sincere band member's reason, don't you think? You can tell when you listen to the songs, but these guys are reallySerious about music."It's ......!
Also by hiding their faces and names,We want people to listen more to the musicality of the music.This seems to be the intention. Although we cannot discard the fact that the resulting visual characteristics have expanded recognition, a situation that does not create so-called "face fans" would certainly make it easier to evaluate musicality, wouldn't it?
As of 2024, Slipknot masks include minor changes.7 times changeThe masks have been created in the past. Each mask incorporates thoughts and sentiments, so if you are interested, please check out all the masks of the past generation 👏.

- Corey Taylor (Vocals)
For those who are not familiar with metal music, it may be because it is difficult to notice the change in sound even if the members of the instrumental group change. That is why we would like to tell you,This is the process of change in the vocalist Corey's singing voice!
Many vocalists change their voices with age and experience, but Corey reallyVoice color varies from album to album.So I find it human and very interesting.

For example, you may find that Corey's voice has changed to a very sultry wet voice on the second album "IOWA," but on the next album, "The Subliminal Verses," he has become more dry and aggressive. ...... The Subliminal Verses" has a dry and aggressive sound.
'Find a collie you like!' can do, it's fun!Even when Slipknot fans talk to each other, their favorite albums are quite different.I know, right? The reasons for this areThe change in musicality and taste for music, as well as the way Corey is, has had quite an impact on the way he is.I believe that this is a good idea.

Five of Slipknot's most popular songs!
Here, for those of you who have not yet heard of SlipknotI want to keep this one!"Here is a representative song called
I really want to introduce dozens of songs at ......! I'm not sure how I feel about that.with tears in one's eyesThe following five songs have been carefully selected for you to listen to as a greeting. Sound, of course,Note the different masks at different times of the year.It is!
People=Shit
People=Shit" is a super classic song that has become synonymous with Slipknot. When the intro starts playing at live shows and festivals, the floor goes crazy every time, and the fans join in loudly during the chorus.People=Shit!I scream. It is cathartic.Slipknot's spiritual pillar of musicYou can't start without hearing this! You have to listen to it to get started! I'll even go to a live concert to listen to People=Shit.
My Plague
live action filmEnding music for "Resident EvilThe tie-up for "My Plague" was made as "My Plague". The music video is accompanied by footage from the movie, so even those who don't know metal music can enjoy it! Compared to the other singles, the sound and song structure are more for the masses.Overall, it is melodious and pleasing to metal beginners!The crispness between the death part and the other parts is also a nice touch that is typical of Slipknot.
Before I Forget
The hard, garishly polished sound and Corey's wet voice made the best mismatch magic happen in Before I Forget. At the time.Slipknot just put out a music video that takes the mask off!"and super hot topic! Similar to modern Japanese hardcoreDistorted EmoI want you to listen to the sound of the "Mere Old Man" because this is the time of 2025! It's okay like this.
Personally, I find the appeal of Slipknot's music to beThe sound of the album is 1) crushing and deathly pressure backed by percussion, 2) solid and aggressive sound, and 3) lyrical melody with the premise of a singalong.I believe it is a perfect balance of these three. This "Psychosocial" is a gem of a metal song that is the perfect marriage of the above elements! Why so heavy, yet so easy to listen to?A song that conveys the core of the band's concept in a bachi bachi way.I recommend it at
Disasterpieces
The destructive impulse that can only be expressed in metal!Roaring & evil!This song is extremely popular among core heavy metal fans. No matter how much support the band receives from all over the world, you can hear the band's answer to society, as if to say, "I don't give a shit about the masses, you idiot, I'll show you what metal is all about.Perfect for those days when the world is really full of crap!It is.
Personally, I recommend the classic album "IOWA" for your first Slipknot! But you can also find a song you are interested in on YouTube and choose from the albums that have that song on them. Trust your instincts!

On social media, "Eeeee, H&M?!!!?" and music fans were turned over in surprise🤣 but the reception seemed to be pretty good!
The band's wickedness mixed with trendy skater fashion makes for a one-of-a-kind collaboration item! The result was, unsurprisingly, an instant sell-out.I couldn't afford it either. ...... Gunno ......!I hope to resell it!
Slipknot is one of the biggest bands in the metal world, but it is still a noticeable niche for non-metal fans and those who are still new to music listening. But Slipknot's collaboration with a super giant like H&M is a great opportunity for the band,Spreading the word to a segment of the population that does not yet know Slipknot.I am glad to hear that!
