Band biography

Slipknot is a nu-metal band featuring nine members which makes them quite a unique band with 3 percussionists, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, a DJ, a sampler and a lead singer. Trying to distinguish themselves more they have named themselves by using the numbers 0-8 and have been using bright costumes and masks on stage. The band formed in 1995 and was originally called Meld before changing their name in Spring / Summer of 1996. In 1999 they released their self-titled debut album which made them rather famous straight away.
