139: Slipknot - Inside The Metal

“DUDE! They’re like KISS, but next level, man!”   (J/K. But seriously, NOW that we have your attention…)   Hidden deep behind the anonymity of their grotesque masks and monochromatic, prison-style jumpsuits, SLIPKNOT have remained forever faithful to the sinister, dark ambiance that permeates every pore of everything they do; sonically, lyrically, and visually.  SLIPKNOT isn’t some lame, throw-away, “Nu Metal” band from the 2000’s, but if they are to be forced inside that particular box, then they are easily the thrashiest, heaviest, and without question, the DARKEST band of that particular sub-genre (Hell, even the DJ is aggressive!!!). In essence, SLIPKNOT is the Zeppelin of the Metallica of the Pantera of the 2000’s.  Find out where there’s “more mud than big women”, make sure you lock the door on the “onesie” before proceeding with “your business” (irregardless if it’s a number 1, number 2, number 3, or “relaxers”) and JOIN US as we go deep inside the annals of metal with the 9-piece extreme metal monstrosity hailing from Des Moines, Iowa:  SLIPKNOT!
