All in all it makes one thing absolutely clear: Slipknot are fucking BACK. And it’s all topped off with the haunting sight of Clown setting himself aflame. Crows peck Chris Fehn apart, a rabid dog mauls Craig, while Corey and Jim get blown apart by explosives. The original seven stab their new bassist and drummer to pieces. Mick Thompson’s peeling away his mask and face down to the skull. Where do we start with their latest vid for 'The Devil In I'? It’s disgusting, isn't it? Sid’s feeding on his own arm and psychotically enjoying it way too much. The 'Left Behind' video was the stuff of nightmares. Eating cereal out of a filthy bowl of mud water? You betcha. Young kid working with the carcasses of dead animals? Check. Clown clawing at the bloody, exposed brain in his mask and gnawing at his own hands? Check.
Slipknot playing in a dark, foreboding forest? Check. The song itself was shocking for Slipknot as a departure from the norm and the video took a different turn, too: this one's a look at Corey battling his own inner demons. It all comes across like some very, very weird and unsettling, creepy ritual.
Off the back of 'People = Shit', their second album 'Iowa' hit Number 1 in the UK and The Nine staked their claim as one of the most important metal bands in a generation.īefore we'd even seen the '.5: The Gray Chapter' masks this year, Slipknot released this disturbing promo for 'The Negative One' complete with severed goat heads, derranged girls painted in black and white and vile gunk oozing through their teeth. In true Slipknot fashion, they arrived, raised hell and left. Is this the world's worst house party? Or the best? Depends what you're into, doesn't it? Slipknot tear through ‘Duality’ while masses of rabid maggots set about beating, smashing and breaking everything in sight. This video sees Slipknot put their very unique twist on horror classic 'The Shining', making it 10 times scarier than the original film ever was in the process. Fifteen years on, it's a great reminder of just how shocking they were at the time. 'Wait And Bleed' was what introduced the world at large to Slipknot, and what a way it was to arrive. The Iowan hell-raisers make a massive venue feel like a dirty-ass club in the video for 'The Nameless', in only the way Slipknot can. This one was a stunning visual of the madness that was a live Slipknot show during their rise to the top. It sets the mood for the rest of this list at least. It might not be their most gruesome vid to date, but the 'Psychosocial' promo had fire (lots of it), oversized stone heads and ruined buildings. Sit back, and enjoy this morbid trip down memory lane. To celebrate the release of Slipknot's mahoosive new album '.5: The Gray Chapter', we're running down the band's most shocking music videos to date.
