The AP Cover Story

Slipknot

Issue 142 // May 2000

Following the release of their debut self-titled album, Slipknot (June 29, 1999), the masked figures began to play a monumental role in the emergence of nu-metal. On the verge of the release of their sixth studio album WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND, we're revisiting where the group got their start with the original cover story. Dive into the darkness with the  full May 2000, Issue 142, ten page cover story exclusively with AltPress.
