Twenty-five years ago, Slipknot and their dedicated fans, fondly called “maggots,” were not yet a prevailing force in the music scene. At that time the band from Des Moines were simply striving to gain recognition for their latest album, which ultimately propelled them into becoming a significant presence in the music industry. This particular record revolutionized rock music and had a profound impact on youth culture. Hailing from the Midwest and concealing their identities with masks, these musicians not only captured the admiration of young audiences but also influenced their preferences and directed them towards a different path ahead.

Slipknot’s first breakthroughs

Slipknot’s first album, which came out on June 29th, 1999, was well-received by critics and quickly gained popularity among fans. This groundbreaking record departed from typical metal norms by embracing innovative concepts. The powerful guitar riffs and the intense by Ross Robinson were crucial to the album’s triumph, but it was the careful attention to songwriting that truly set it apart as a legendary work. Quite a remarkable achievement for a band that simply to be noticed.

Guitarist Jim Root reflects on the band’s humble beginnings, saying, “After our debut album, we were unsure if we’d have the opportunity to make another one. Our primary focus was simply getting our music out there. Of course, every band strives for a sold-out tour and successful album sales, but for us, the ultimate fantasy became a reality.”

Over time, Slipknot’s fame expanded, reaching a level that challenged established figures and the bands they looked up to. This growth was fueled by constant creativity and a commitment to engaging with their audience. The band has amassed billions of streams, tens of millions of devoted fans online, and received multiple awards, with notable achievements such as a Grammy win for their song “Before I Forget” from Vol. 3. Slipknot has been a prominent act at major music events globally, achieved various RIAA certifications, and sold over 30 million records and videos.

Slipknot continues to strengthen its position

Furthermore, Slipknot solidified their triumph with the launch of Knotfest in 2012, a roaming, multi-platform extravaganza that has evolved into a worldwide sensation. The website Knotfest.com has expanded into a prominent entertainment media outlet, offering a showcase for emerging talent who share a similar artistic vision.

Slipknot’s numerous achievements have cemented their position as innovators and industry trendsetters, resulting in a loyal following that spans multiple generations. As they near a quarter-century milestone, the band seeks to rekindle their connection with fans in a way that recaptures the raw energy of their formative years. According to founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan, “Whenever I take the stage, it’s not about the size of the crowd, because my community, the maggots, always turn out in force,” he says with a grin.
