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…
Which era of Slipknot masks is your favourite?
Everyone has a favourite era of Slipknot masks. The lo-fi, freaky imagery of the 1999 debut, the more gruesome-looking Vol. 3 visuals, the stylised Gray Chapter aesthetic... the Iowan nontet's ever-changing faces are just as integral to the Slipknot story as their music.
Clown and Sid have changed dramatically over the years, whereas Craig and Mick have found a formidable formula they're sticking to. But which mask is your favourite?
We've put together a poll below for you to pick your all-time favourite Slipknot masks from the past six albums. Every member from 1999 to present day is included, so we can create the definitive line-up of masked maniacs.
The most popular masks will be announced in the near future.
Slipknot’s new album We Are Not Your Kind will be released August 9 via Roadrunner Records. Pre-order your copy now.
Catch Slipknot live in North America this summer on the Knotfest Roadshow tour.
