This was a nine-person band with two DJs (one on turntables, one on samples) and three percussionists (one drummer and two guys who banged away with chopsaws, power tools, and a welded together titanium Frankenkit of kegs and jagged metal) all bent on making the loudest, most brutal industrial noise possible. Fred Durst jumped around telling fans to break stuff? Slipknot performed in custom-made nightmare masks and identical jumpsuits that allowed them to be at their most unhinged in a stage show which regularly entailed setting fire to their equipment, breaking their bones during acrobatic stunts, and spilling their own blood, vomit, piss, and shit. (Just imagine what those jumpsuits and masks must have smelled like.)

Members of Slipknot worked night shifts at gas stations and porn stores, grappled with teenage drug addictions and stints of homelessness, practiced in a basement soundproofed with a pet store carpet that reeked of animal urine, and were hungry to channel all their isolation, frustration, and rage into exploding out of Iowa like a post-apocalyptic warhead forged in an abandoned metal shop. Named after their home state, 'Iowa', still remains an utterly frightening project, driven by addiction, depression, and encompassing negativity. Refusing to pursue a more accessible route regardless of the ensuing momentum around them, the collective would lash out with an extremely severe batch of material that remains challenging even by today's standards.
