Slipknot

Slipknot’s 1999 self-titled debut is a harrowing ride through diverse metal subgenres, including death, thrash, and speed. But it doesn’t stop there: *Slipknot* also touches on grunge and rap metal, skillfully melding all the influences into a holistic and unrelenting heaviness. The sonic chaos hits a fever pitch on the savage “Tattered & Torn” and the furiously warped “Scissors,” each a perfect storm of planet-destroying percussion, ferocious vocals, and sludgy walls of guitar noise.

Although those lyrics that are discernible are not generally quotable on a family website, suffice it to say that the members of Slipknot are not impressed with their fathers, their hometown, or most anything else.
