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…
Hopefully we're not going to have to wait too long now to see Slipknot's new Nero Forte video.
Having only started filming their new video two days ago, Slipknot have just announced that Nero Forte is now complete.
The fan-favourite from their 5K-rated We Are Not Your Kind album, Slipknot will be unveiling the new single at some point in the near future – with the band's own Shawn 'Clown' Crahan having taken on directing duties, as per usual, for its accompanying promo.
“We’re getting ready for our video Nero Forte,” he previously said in a behind-the-scenes video. “We’ve grabbed an MGM spot where they have a sound stage. Usually in Slipknot, things get crazy quickly and we start losing time because of space.
“We’ve brought the space in a lot tighter, and I think this is going to work. Now we can paint, everyone that’s involved can paint – everyone can put their two cents in and really get in here and make something special.”

“To all the Slipknot fans, this is going to be an amazing time,” he continued. “Thanks for being here. We’re trying something new. Welcome to Nero Forte – the dark force.”

“It feels good to be coming back for an extensive tour of Europe and the UK,” says frontman Corey Taylor. “No matter how many times we come there, it always feels like we can never get enough, nor play all the cities we want to. But one thing’s for certain: the audiences are always some of the best in the world.”
