Eight legs of grief, weaving webs of familiar pain.
I am the caught fly and the hungry spider.
Don’t save me. I’ve already learned to love the sting. Slipknot - We Are Not Your Kind -2019-:

  • "Unsainted": The lead single and opening track. It combines a choir-like intro with aggressive riffs, setting the tone for the album’s exploration of darkness and redemption.
  • "Nero Forte": A groove-laden track that became a radio hit, showcasing the band’s ability to write accessible yet heavy hooks.
  • "Solway Firth": A closing epic that spans over five minutes, featuring a blend of acoustic passages, thrash metal drumming, and melodic choruses. It is widely considered one of the band's greatest achievements in songwriting.
  • "Death Because of Death": A short, experimental interlude track that highlights the band's industrial influences.
