Slipknot – Slipknot

Released in 1999, Slipknot’s self-titled debut album marked a turning point in modern metal, delivering an intense, aggressive and chaotic sound that quickly resonated with a global audience.

With a nine-member lineup, the band introduced a dense, brutal sonic assault where layered percussion, samples and extreme vocals combined to create a distinctive impact. Produced by Ross Robinson, the album features tracks like “Wait and Bleed,” “Spit It Out” and “Eyeless,” which became anthems of the nu metal and alternative metal scenes at the turn of the millennium. Slipknot is a manifesto of rage and alienation, wrapped in a theatrical and confrontational aesthetic that redefined the boundaries of heavy music for a new generation.
