Slipknot - Slipknot

Slipknot's self-titled debut album, released in 1999, is described as a modern classic that blends nu-metal catchiness with extreme metal cacophony. The album's sound is dense and layered, with influences from death metal, thrash metal, speed metal, alternative metal, rap metal, and industrial music. The band's use of percussion, turntables, and samples, along with creative guitar work, inventive sampling, and catchy choruses, give the album a unique quality. Some say the album is "a terrifying racket", while others praise its melody, as in the single "Wait and Bleed".
