Some big Monday afternoon news from the Slipknot camp. The band has parted ways with long term percussionist Chris Fehn effective immediately. This news comes hot on the heels of the story that broke late last week that Fehn was suing the band with issues allegedly surrounding his payment and compensation during his time in…
Plenty of bands can be labelled as influential. Iron Maiden helped birth the NWOBHM sound, the Big 4 made thrash a global phenomenon, Meshuggah accidentally created Djent. The list is long and varied, each prospective pioneer deserving of a different accolade. But it’s not just in genre or subgenre creation that a band becomes influential:…

Now it’s their time to show what they are capable of with a full album and prove if they are worthy of all the hype….
