Growing up I had a neighbor who I would hang around with everyday. We had about a solid three year gap between us me being the young one and very naive to the world. Anyway my neighbor was really into metal/hardcore music which I was never really to fond of, but being the little guy of course wanted to fit in with him and his friends and tried to get into as well. I remember one day asking him for good music to look up and the first thing written down was "slipknot". So at home I google the name and click on a website then all of sudden pictures like above are posted all over some eerie dark background with dark music playing as well which of course scared the crap out of me.
Even today looking at pictures of the people dressed up for this band freaks me out. Every aspect to the appearance seems just seems malicious and I have never really been one to be freaked out by masks, but just the photos I have seen of them all I find hideous and disturbing. It was one thing in the 70's and 80's where the lead singers would paint there faces all up and wear crazy wigs, but I just don't get where the look of violence came from.
