As an old wisdom has it, dark times inspire great art. The Slipknot members definitely agree with this wisdom. The Grammy award and multi-Platinum winners and heavy metal visionaries had to face their darkest hour on May 24, 2010, when founding member, bassist and songwriter Paul Gray tragically died and left his fellow musicians in consternation and sadness.

Despite the fact that fate dealt them a number of hard blows, the nine exceptional musicians around front man Corey Taylor never gave up. Life continues and four years later, they released another exceptional album: “5: The Gray Chapter”.

As one of the most influential metal bands, Slipknot has received 11 Platinum and 38 Gold records since their ’99 debut. Their album “All Hope Is Gone” immediately reached #1 of the longplayer charts in 7 countries including the US and was featured on the front cover of renowned magazines such as Rolling Stone, Revolver, Guitar World, and Billboard. Apart from a Grammy for “Best Metal Performance,” they received numerous other awards such as the Kerrang! award, Revolver Golden Gods Award, NME Award, Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award and many more. Live on tour, they have destroyed the world’s most renowned stages from Rock In Rio to Soundwave.
