"Someone said, 'If you see them without their masks on, they will come and kill you!'" Why I love Slipknot's debut album, by Jamie Campbell Bower

Jamie Campbell Bower now and Slipknot in 2000.

Metal Hammer's latest issue, on sale now, is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Slipknot's incendiary, game-changing debut album. Featuring brand new interviews with Slipknot legends Shawn 'Clown' Crahan and Jim Root, plus nu metal producer extraordinaire Ross Robinson, it's the ultimate deep dive into the album that put the band on the map and helped crown metal's new chaotic kings of infamy.

As part of the issue, we spoke to some of the most notable and exciting young artists in the metal scene today, asking them to tell us exactly how Slipknot affected and influenced them both as artists and as music fans.
