by Marc Patterson Clearly Slipknot has matured a bit from their early nu-metal antics of the late 90′s. They just debuted their full video for Snuff yesterday and I must say it’s pretty impressive. Snuff, the fifth single from All Hope is Gone is a creepy and highly stylized mind-bending video with Lynchian elements sure [...]

Love the new cut. This is the real film.” He also previously mentioned that this version is “very different” [...]

Here we are in our last week, and I think it’s the best yet: Black Devil [...]
