Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
Win Corey Taylor's CMFT championship belt in his new wrestling video game.
If you hadn't already guessed from the video for CMFT Must Be Stopped or the cover of his debut solo record, Corey Taylor is a tiny bit of a wrestling fan. And now the musician has launched his very own wrestling-themed video game to top it all off.
The web browser-based animated amusement involves battling it out for the CMFT belt while listening to fired-up songs on the LP like Meine Lux, Culture Head and HWY 666 through Spotify or Apple Music.
"There can only be one champion," says Corey. "Battle for the #CMFT Title Belt and claim it as your own…"

Speaking to KLAQ back in August about the belt and its origins, Corey revealed: "I had it made and I paid for it myself. It was something that I was just going to have made anyway, and then as soon as I got it, I realised, 'This would look dope on the cover of the album; this would look really, really cool.' And it just kind of took on a life of its own, man… I can neither confirm nor deny that I've walked around my house with it over my shoulder, and then I've held it in front of my kids and they're like, 'We're just trying to have breakfast…'
"I'm not going to sell it. I'm thinking of having some copies made of it, and then signing them and auctioning them off for charity."
