But even more helpful was their theatrical, attention-grabbing image: the band always performed in identical industrial jump suits and homemade Halloween masks, and added to their mysterious anonymity by adopting the numbers zero through eight as stage aliases. Add to that a lyrical preoccupation with darkness and nihilism, and an affectionately insulting name for their fans (“Maggots“), and Slipknot's blueprint for nu-metal success was set. Emerging in 1995, the Grammy Award-winning band issued their eponymous debut album in 1999 and went mainstream with subsequent gold and platinum efforts like Iowa (2001), All Hope Is Gone (2008), We Are Not Your Kind (2019), and The End, So Far (2022). Slipknot were formed in late 1995 in the unlikely locale of Des Moines, Iowa; after some early personnel shifts, the nine-piece lineup settled around (in order from number zero to number eight): DJ Sid Wilson, drummer Joey Jordison, bassist Paul Gray, percussionist Chris Fehn, guitarist James Root, sampler/programmer Craig Jones, percussionist Shawn “Clown“ Crahan, guitarist Mick Thomson, and lead vocalist Corey Taylor. The music scene in Des Moines wasn't much to speak of, and the band's big-time ambition was usually met with disbelief and ridicule, which provided the initial spark for its mostly anonymous stage visuals. On Halloween 1996, Slipknot self-released an album called Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., which built a buzz around the group once it found its way to several labels. It was picked up for distribution by the Nebraska-based -ismist label and caught the attention of Roadrunner Records, which signed Slipknot in 1997. Working with producer Ross Robinson, the band recorded their official self-titled debut album and released it in 1999. They gradually built an audience through near-constant touring, working their way up to the summer Ozzfest package tour. Their live shows were a much-discussed hit with metal fans, and the band performed with such energy that Crahan gashed his head open on his own drum kit twice that summer, requiring stitches both times. In early 2000, Slipknot was certified platinum; the first such album in Roadrunner's history. Slipknot returned in late 2018 with the standalone single “All Out Life.“ Their critically acclaimed sixth studio album, the Greg Fidelman-produced We Are Not Your Kind, arrived in August 2019 and debuted at number one on both the U.S. Billboard 200 and the U.K. Albums Chart. Original drummer Joey Jordison died on July 26, 2021, at the age of 46. 2022 saw the release of The End, So Far, the band's final album for Roadrunner Records and the first Slipknot effort to feature new percussionist Michael Pfaff. Another global success, it peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 while topping the charts in the U.K., Australia, and Germany. The single “Hive Mind“ was nominated for “Best Metal Performance“ at the 66th Grammy Awards. Another lineup shift occurred in June 2023 with the sudden departure of longtime sampler/programmer Craig Jones, with his unknown masked replacement appearing on-stage the same day. That month, Slipknot issued an EP, Adderall, which included various versions of the title track.
