{"title":"Slipknot","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Slipknot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlipknot formed in Des Moines, Iowa in 1995 with rotating membership before solidifying the classic nine-member masked lineup by 1999. They are widely cited as one of the most important contemporary heavy metal bands and a foundational act of the late-1990s nu metal movement. Their 1999 self-titled debut on Roadrunner Records and 2001 follow-up Iowa established their distinctive blend of extreme metal, hardcore, and industrial influences, alongside their nine-member lineup with multiple percussionists, turntables, and samples. All members wear distinctive masks and are numbered (0-8 in original lineup). The band has had member changes across its history, with original bassist Paul Gray (#2) dying of accidental overdose on May 24, 2010 at age 38, and original drummer Joey Jordison (#1) dying of acute necrotizing encephalitis on July 26, 2021 at age 46 (multiple sclerosis-related). Drummer Jay Weinberg (son of Bruce Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg) departed in late 2023, with Eloy Casagrande (ex-Sepultura) replacing him in 2024. Their foundational influence on contemporary heavy metal and the nu metal movement is widely cited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlipknot's sound combines heavy metal, nu metal, alternative metal, groove metal, industrial metal, extreme metal, and hardcore with Taylor's distinctive vocal delivery (range from screamed extreme to melodic clean vocals), nine-member arrangements (multi-percussion, turntables, samples), Iowa-based sonic identity, and confrontational lyrical content addressing rage, mental illness, and broader extreme themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlipknot (1999, Roadrunner) - debut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIowa (2001, Roadrunner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) (2004, Roadrunner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Hope Is Gone (2008, Roadrunner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.5: The Gray Chapter (2014, Roadrunner) - first post-Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Are Not Your Kind (2019, Roadrunner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe End, So Far (2022, Roadrunner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoadrunner Records pressings of the Slipknot catalog have been issued in extensive color variant editions and elaborate limited deluxe pressings, with collector demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Slipknot typically start with Iowa (2001) or Slipknot (1999). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-vinyl-records\"\u003eMetal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"slipknot-self-titled-cd","title":"Self-Titled CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlipknot is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot.
