Research into band

The band which I am going to create my music video for is the heavy metal band 'Slipknot'. Slipknot were a band that consisted of nine members: Sid Wilson, Paul Gray, Joey Jordison, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Corey Taylor. However, their bassist, Paul Gray, died in May 2010. This left them with just eight members, their previous bassist Donnie Steele was the band's touring bassist in 2011. In mid December 2013, drummer Joey Jordison left the band for unspecified personal reasons. Slipknot have released four studio albums and one compilation album, four video albums and one live album. The band has completed 5 tours, in addition to performing at various festivals including Download and Leeds and Reading Fest and their self made festival 'Knotfest'.

The band is known for its attention-grabbing image, the members wear matching uniforms, have unique masks respectively and have aliases which are simply numbers. The band are known for wearing masks and attention seeking make-up.

This is Slipknot at Download Festival 2009, with the late Paul Gray.

 
Slipknot is well known for its attention-grabbing image, aggressive music style, and energetic and chaotic live shows. Their videos include similar features, which I will incorporate into my video. Their videos typically include a band performance, which I will include in my video.
