Slipknot are usually found traversing the world, playing to capacity crowds. Their live show continues to thrill their fiercely loyal following, filling ever-bigger arenas with each outing. Reviews of their last sold-out European arena tour, which was completed mere weeks before the world locked down, are unanimous in their praise, with Kerrang! awarding London’s O2 Arena show a 5/5 rating, declaring “there is no better metal band on earth than this.” The band’s current album, the critically lauded We Are Not Your Kind is highlighted by the singles, “Nero Forte“, “Solway Firth“, and the LP’s lead track, “Unsainted“. The three tracks feature an M. Shawn Crahan-directed official music video, each of which trended worldwide on YouTube (all videos) upon release – with “Unsainted” at #1 globally for a full 24 hours.

Slipknot stand alongside musical institutions like Metallica and Iron Maiden, as one of a select few bands whose legacy is secured within the pantheon of heavy music’s elite. The band emerged at the end of the 20th Century from the American mid-western town of Des Moines, IA and quickly established themselves as the most enigmatic, provocative and aggressive music collective of the modern era. 1999’s eponymous debut is widely viewed as a modern day classic and was honored by Metal Hammer magazine as the ‘Best Debut of the Last 25 Years.’ The release racked up double RIAA platinum certification in the US, with many of Slipknot’s subsequent releases achieving platinum status both in the US and around the globe. To date, the band have been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards (winning in 2006 for ‘Before I Forget’), as well as scoring 12 Platinum and 41 Gold album certifications around the world and over 3.2 billion YouTube views and counting. Slipknot’s fanbase is as unwavering as it is ubiquitous – the band’s most recent studio album, 2019’s We Are Not Your Kind debuted at #1 in the Official Album Charts of 12 countries around the world, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Mexico and in the Top 5 of an additional 12 countries including Germany, France and Sweden.
