提及在上世纪末到本世纪初盛极一时的新金属音乐，就不得不提一支重要的乐队，他们人多势众，他们声名狼藉，以至于他们的音乐甚至直接引发谋杀，他们总是躲藏在面具背后，似乎被面具遮住的脸比面具更为恐怖，他们的表演混乱肮脏，几乎每次演出都是一场骚乱，但他们因此而拥有了世界各地上百万的歌迷，他们捏合了另类金属、重金属和说唱金属，他们的音乐，黑暗，暴力，极端，疯狂，他们的噪音比工业魔王Marilyn Manson更令人惊栗，他们的音乐非常的重，重得以至于在各种歌迷评选中，他们的鼓手总是被奉为众多乐队鼓手中的老大，被称为最重的重金属乐队，这当然是Slipknot乐队(活结乐队)。

1995年9月，Slipknot乐队成立于美国艾奥瓦州的首府Des Moines地区，经过成立之初的发展之后，以Shawn &Clown& Crahan为首的这支乐队最终形成了多达九人的固定阵容。Slipknot乐队也顺势分别以0到8的九个数字来代表没名成员，从0到8，他们依次是：Sid Wilson，Joey Jordison，Paul Grey，Chris Fehn，James Root，Craig Jones，Shawn &Clown& Crahan，Mick Thompson，Corey Taylor。自从成立之初，Slipknot乐队的九名成员们就开始以面具作为他们最重要的表演工具来使用，无论到哪里，都只见面具，而不见他们的庐山真面目。

在Slipknot乐队成立之后，他们始终在追求着自己独特的音乐风格，以自己的方式来表现音乐，一种狂燥，噪声，黑暗，暴力，宣泄的重金属音乐。不过他们独特而疯狂的演出方式最初在当地并没有得到太多的认可，但是并没有过太久，他们狂暴的音乐就赢得了很多年轻人的追捧。1996年的万圣节，Slipknot乐队自己录制了一张样片《Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.》，并且在1997年夏天通过内布拉斯卡州的一家名叫-ismist的小唱片公司发售，幸运的是他们的这张专辑在发行不久之后得到了一家较大的唱片公司Roadrunner Records唱片公司的垂青，在这一年晚些时候，Slipknot乐队和Roadrunner Records唱片公司正式签约，他们也开始了与制作人Ross Robinson之间长期的合作。

1999年，在经过了一段时间积累之后，Slipknot乐队在Roadrunner Records唱片公司发行了他们第一张正式的专辑《Slipknot》，通过不停的巡演，Slipknot乐队逐渐拥有了他们自己的固定歌迷群体，而他们在Ozzyfest音乐节上的演出，更是极大的提高了他们的知名度，他们暴力的演出很快通过电视转播而征服了众多的重金属乐迷，在这次演出中有多位乐队成员在表演时发泄过度而受伤，乐队灵魂人物Crahan的头部甚至需要缝针。不过鲜血为他们换来了更为广泛的知名度，他们的单曲《Wait and Bleed》和《Spit It Out》马上成为了很受欢迎的单曲，他们的专辑销量也一直非常顺利，在2000年的时候几乎进入了Billboard 200排行榜的前50名，并且在全美范围内的销量突破了100万张，这在Roadrunner唱片公司的历史上还是第一次。

2001年，Slipknot乐队已经成为了美国最受关注的重金属乐队之一，他们的第二张专辑《Iowa》被寄予厚望，这张专辑在8月底发行的时候虽然面临众多专辑的竞争，但是仍然在Billboard 200排行榜上名列第三，并且在全美的销量达到了88万多张。

各自单飞,Slipknot乐队在巡演结束之后成立了自己的Maggot Recordings唱片公司，并且签下了一支名为Downthesun的乐队，其中的主唱是Slipknot乐队核心Crahan的调鼓师，但是乐队的其他成员却纷纷开始干起了自己的事情。

Slipknot乐队的DJ Sid Wilson也更名为了DJ Starscream开始个人发展；乐队的两名吉他手James Root和Mick Thompson也分别开始了个人音乐的发展；而乐队的鼓手Joey Jordison也加盟到了另一支乐队Murderdolls，他在那里甚至经常是作为吉他手演出；乐队的主唱Corey Taylor加盟到了Stone Sour乐队，并且为2002年的卖座大片《蜘蛛侠》(Spider-Man)的电影原声贡献了一首个人单曲《Bother》。不过，Slipknot乐队的分裂仍然没有到尽头，反而更加愈演愈烈。2002年夏天，曾经为其他乐队客串吉他手的Slipknot乐队的鼓手Joey Jordison与Static-X乐队的吉他手Tripp Eisen一起组建了Murderdolls乐队；乐队的主唱Corey Taylor则重组了自己的Stone Sour乐队，其他的成员还包括了另两名Slipknot乐队的成员吉他手Jim Root，和DJ Sid Wilson，并且这支Stone Sour乐队还在2002年发行了第一张专辑《Stone Sour》，似乎乐队的复合仍然遥遥无期。

2002年冬天，Slipknot乐队的主唱Corey Taylor在乐队的主页上发表了一篇声明，声称队友们相互之间已经有几个月没有说过话了，还声称乐队宁愿解散也不愿成为第二个Gwar乐队。这篇声明很快引起了Gwar乐队成员Oderous Urungus与Corey Taylor之间的口舌之争。不过这篇声明很快也重新把Slipknot乐队的成员们凝聚在了一起，2003年初，Corey Taylor的声明就在主页上消失了，取而代之的是乐队成员已经重新聚合，并且着手与开始他们新专辑的录制工作。2003年夏天，Slipknot乐队开始与另一名大牌制作人Rick Rubin一起开始了自2000年至2003年以来首张新专辑的录制工作，并且从2004年初的时候开始再次展开巡回演出，而且已经明确了将再次参加夏天的Ozzfest音乐节，并将使用他们重新设计好的第三代面具。2004年5月25日，Slipknot乐队的愤怒和喧嚣随着他们的第三张正式专辑《Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses》再次回到了歌迷的身边。

Slipknot's mix of grinding, post-Korn alternative metal, Marilyn Manson-esque neo-shock rock, and rap-metal helped make them one of the most popular bands in the so-called nu-metal explosion of the late '90s. But even more helpful was their theatrical, attention-grabbing image: the band always performed in identical industrial jump suits and homemade Halloween masks, and added to its mysterious anonymity by adopting the numbers zero through eight as stage aliases. Add to that a lyrical preoccupation with darkness and nihilism, and an affectionately insulting name for their fans (&Maggots&), and Slipknot's blueprint for nu-metal success was set.

Slipknot were formed in late 1995 in the unlikely locale of Des Moines, IA; after some early personnel shifts, the nine-piece lineup settled around (in order from number zero to number eight): DJ Sid Wilson, drummer Joey Jordison, bassist Paul Grey, percussionist Chris Fehn, guitarist James Root, sampler/programmer Craig Jones, percussionist Shawn &Clown& Crahan, guitarist Mick Thompson, and lead vocalist Corey Taylor. The music scene in Des Moines wasn't much to speak of, and the band's big-time ambition was usually met with disbelief and ridicule, which provided the initial spark for its mostly anonymous stage visuals. On Halloween 1996, Slipknot self-released an album called Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., which began to build a buzz around the group once it found its way to several labels. It was picked up for distribution by the Nebraska-based -ismist label, and also caught the attention of Roadrunner Records, which signed Slipknot in 1997. Working with producer Ross Robinson, Slipknot recorded their official, self-titled debut album, which was released in 1999. They gradually built an audience through near-constant touring, working their way up to the summer Ozzfest package tour, which really expanded their audience. Their live shows were a much-discussed hit with metal fans, and the band performed with such energy that Crahan gashed his head open on his own drum kit twice that summer, requiring stitches both times. The tracks &Wait and Bleed& and &Spit It Out& got the band some airplay, but most of the buzz came from touring and word of mouth. Finally, in the spring of 2000, Slipknot was certified platinum; the first such album in Roadrunner's history.

The anticipation for Slipknot's follow-up was intense, and many industry observers predicted that it would debut at number one; however, faced with some stiff competition that week, the band's sophomore effort, Iowa, bowed at number three upon its release in 2001. More heavy touring followed, including another, more prominent slot on that summer's Ozzfest. After a long spell on the road, Slipknot took a break while the members worked on side projects. The band set up its own label, Maggot Recordings, and signed a band called Downthesun, whose lead singer had served as Crahan's drum technician. Wilson, meanwhile, began DJing solo under the name DJ Starscream, and Root and Thompson both worked on solo material. Drummer Jordison worked with a side group called the Rejects, where he'd actually served for quite some time as guitarist. Taylor, meanwhile, started a side band called Superego, and also contributed a solo song, &Bother,& to the soundtrack of the 2002 blockbuster Spider-Man. That May, the band got some amusing press when some of its fans discovered the website of a British crocheting group also called &Slipknot,& and flooded the members' in-boxes with excessively rude e-mails. Guitarist Joey Jordison and Static-X guitarist Tripp Eisen teamed that summer for the Murderdolls project, while Taylor reformed his old band Stone Sour and released an album. By the winter, Slipknot had still not reunited and Taylor wrote a commentary on the band's website stating that they had not spoken in months, and that they'd rather break up than become &the next Gwar&. The statement sparked a quickly resolved minifeud between Taylor and Gwar frontman Oderus Urungus. but it also sent many of the Maggots into a tailspin. By early 2003, Taylor had retracted his comments, and announced plans for a new Slipknot album. That August the entire squad decamped Iowa for LA, where they began work on the new record with producer Rick Rubin. &Pulse of the Maggots& appeared in early 2004 as an exclusive download; it was followed by a full track listing for Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses. Slipknot then embarked on a brief tour as a warm-up for their dates headlining Ozzfest that summer. (The group also debuted a fully redesigned third generation of their famous masks.) Subliminal Verses was released in May 2004. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200, and the band toured steadily for the next year and a half in support. They released 2-disc live album in November 2005, followed by a slew of side projects (Taylor and Root formed Stone Sour, while Jordison sat in with Ministry and Korn) before releasing their fourth full-length album All Hope Is Gone in 2008.
