Slipknot 1999 Press Shot

Folks at Kerrang! magazine have compiled a list of 20 greatest SLIPKNOT songs ever.

Source noted: “Over two-and-a-half decades of tribulation, tragedy and triumph, SLIPKNOT have built a catalogue like few others. It chronicles not just the anger, doubt, pain and catharsis of its constituent members, but the growth of the band itself — from terrifying underground oddity to main-stage-straddling metal behemoth.”
