Slipknot formed in 1995
and underwent several line-up changes following the independent release
of Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. in 1996. Their self-titled debut studio album
was released in 1999 and was followed by Iowa in 2001 and Vol. 3:
The Subliminal Verses in 2004. On August 25, 2008, the band returned to
release their fourth studio album, All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at the
top spot on the Billboard 200 charts.
The band has released three DVDs including 2002's Disasterpieces, which
was certified quadruple-platinum in the United States.
Slipknot, those nutty
guys who love wearing horror masks when they perform, have unveiled their
newest fashion accessories in conjunction with their forthcoming album,
All Hope Is Gone.
In an exclusive, Spinner has the preview of the band’s new masks. They’re
definitely disturbing, but the worry is that no matter how scary they look,
is this a shtick that’s lost its shock value. While you ponder that possibility,
you can check out two songs that will appear on All Hope Is Gone,
which is slated for an August 26 release: the thrash-metal All Hope Is Gone
and the more tuneful Psychosocial.
