Slipknot is a metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, formed in September 1995. Originally known as "The Pale Ones", they later became "Meld" before settling on the name Slipknot. The band went through several lineup changes before solidifying their best-known lineup in 1999. They signed with [l34268] in 1998 and remained with the label until April 2023.

Tragically, Slipknot experienced the loss of bassist Paul Gray in 2010 and drummer Joey Jordison's departure in 2013. However, they continued to evolve by adding new members such as guitarist James Root and bassist Alessandro Venturella. In June 2023, the band announced their split from sampler and keyboarder Craig Jones.

Despite these challenges, Slipknot has left an indelible mark on the metal genre with their intense performances and unique sound. Their powerful music resonates with fans around the world, making them one of the most influential bands in modern metal history.

After six turbulent years, Slipknot returns with one of their heaviest and most intense body of work - 5: THE GRAY CHAPTER. Stretching from grief to anger and beyond, the album touches on the most difficult period of the band's career and serves as a tribute to a lost friend and bandmate. Led by the ferocious 'The Negative One' and the first single 'The Devil In I' the album ranges from the raw moments from the bands self-titled debut and follow-up Iowa to the dynamics of VOL. 3: THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES and ALL HOPE IS GONE. 5: THE GRAY CHAPTER is classic Slipknot while remaining fresh and innovative and proves Slipknot continues to be the premiere heavy band of this generation.
