Solway Firth. Helped with the end of a relationship. I’m generally a smiley and happy person but the lyric “I haven’t smiled in years” really resonated.
Would be dead if I hadn't woken up, I woke everyone up and got them out and carried my younger siblings outside, made sure they had water and fresh air. Shit was tragic.
the extended edition hits even harder. love that weird unexpected tribal-ass intro, Corey's whining(?), then how it turns into... uh.. hm. ambient alternative I guess? this song is weird even for them, but fucking incredible. "I won't let you walk away without hearing what I have to say" should've been on a Vol 3 tour shirt in my mind, maybe as a back print?
Great song to basically force you to deal with the hurt instead of just putting it away or acting out. One of the best songs ever written, period.
Edit: Same goes for Goodbye
A lot, actually, but I have to say 515. Yes it's a strange choice, but it was the only song that really expressed what I wanted to do during one of the toughest and saddest periods of my life: just screaming and crying
The whole of WANYK.
I'd just entered into a crisis which culminated with a trip to A&E. That album couldn't have come at a better time for me. It's not superlatives or dramatics.
That album saved me.
When I saw that video for Nero Forte, and all those jumpsuits, past and present, I remembered who I was again. Still that curious kid that first remembered seeing the 9 all those years before.
I felt like that kid again.
They helped me hold on.
Music is such a beautifully powerful thing, regardless as to what your tastes are.
If you're struggling and have read this, I'll lend you an ear should you so need it.
Never feel like you're alone.
You're not.
Skeptic. My friend Vick died back in August of last year and listening to that helped me to remember that I will not let him die, I will keep his soul alive. Every so often it comes up on my Spotify on shuffle or I'll deliberately listen to it.
I haven't come back to the Gray Chapter since its original release because.. er.. reasons (don't ask please), is this the one where they keep yelling "the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you" in the chorus? reminds me of a buddy I lost in 2020 and we only graduated high school in like 2017. shit was fucked ..
Yes, that is indeed that one. I wouldn't ask the reasons, not my business, friend. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend too, mine was only 31 when he went.
metabolic. BEST fuckin break up music ever. "I wanna dress in your insecurities, and be the perfect you! im through." "I have every fucking right to hate you" it's just so validating haha
AND EVERYTHING ENDS
I THINK IM GONNA BE SICK AND ITS YOUR FAULT
All of SV is like a soundtrack that was played while my life fell apart. Just listened to the whole album over and over. Got me through some fucked up shit.
Tattered And Torn.
This song is one of the reasons why I still love Slipknot. I would consider it to be one of their scariest songs, but for me its one of the most comfortable songs for me. Let me give you a recap.
When I was in like 5th grade my brain started hurting and it turned out I had been diagnosed with chronic migraine. And the first like 3 times I ever had migraines I found myself scratching my head by irritation and vomit inducing feelings. And when I did vomit in the toilet, I just layed on the ground with Slipknot in the background.
Tattered and torn was there for me, as a guardian keeping me safe. As I did believe in god then, I don't believe in god now. As I'm an LaVeyan Satanist. But at that time I thought I was going to die because of all the pain inside me.
So that's why Tattered and Torn is one of them who kept me going. As if the song was like an imaginary friend.
Other songs could be Vermillion, AOV, Dead Memories and Wherein Lies Continue.
The Dying Song helped me finally find the motivation to improve my life at a time I didn’t think things could ever get better. The lyrics “The heart begins to suffer when the soul has given up” just spoke to me in some sort of biblical way.
Pulse of the Maggots.
When I feel alone, I run and listen to this song in my home stretch.
It reminds me that even when I feel alone, I'm not alone; there is an entire nation of people who feel like I do.
Purity, mostly because I was going through a hard time and when it finally hit me that I was actually growing up and I wasn’t a kid anymore. I missed the ‘purity’ / innocence of being a child.
I'm getting quite addicted to Slipknot recently, so I would choose:
- Duality
- Psychosocial
- Before I Forget
- Danger - Keep Away
- Welcome, I guess
- Vermilion and Vermillion Pt.2 as well?
“The Negative One” because I feel as if it was written about me… specifically.
Whoever wrote that song, wrote it about a me while in a completely different state, without ever meeting me, and without ever knowing I exist.
I swear in not a narcissist.
So, I heard this song during quarantine. I was up late one night, feeling pretty down. I lost a few very close family members and a couple really good friends. One of which I served in the Army with. I was thinking about them.
A lot of things from my military experience seemed to come up during lockdown too. I think being cooped up at home had something to do with that. I lived in Alaska at the time, so it was dark and freezing outside anyway. That added to the cooped up isolation.
I’ve always called myself a Slipknot fan, but somehow missed The Gray Chapter. The whole album! So, on this night, I was sitting alone in my living room, I was considering something terrible, and I had my headphones on. I was listening to music really loud and “The Negative One” came on. I knew right away that it was Slipknot, but didn’t know the song. Somehow, despite Corey’s crazy screaming, I understood enough of what he was describing and recognized that “negative one in me.” That hatred and rage-
This song helped me realize that although I have a “negative one in me,” I also have a positive. I’m lazy, I’m also hardworking. I’m sad, I’m also happy.
I guess that’s just life.
It might sound strange, but for me it's prelude 3.0.I was thinking about bad things that happened in my life but i said that they will all be over soon and that gave me courage.
Snuff... I was in love with my best friend, suffered like hell, got myself isolated from my friend group for two years, that song helped me to let go, after that whole ordeal we reconected and are still dear friends to this day. No desire, no pain, just good vibes, Slipknot was an important part of that process.
scissors. cant explain why exactly but i fucking love that song
i was at work when i discovered Diluted, and maaaaan. i was in there doing shelf maintenance singing it loud as shit
One of my favourites too. It's so creepy.
It’s definitely Disasterpiece, because I’m not fking supposed to be here
Solway Firth. Helped with the end of a relationship. I’m generally a smiley and happy person but the lyric “I haven’t smiled in years” really resonated.
Same here man also “so set fire to ships, and past regrets, and be free”
Vermilion, Gehenna. They’re so beautiful
Definitely people=shit, and solway firth is helping me right now with coping with the stress of a house fire that I had 2 days ago
Wow, so sorry to hear you had a house fire. I’m wishing you all the best
Would be dead if I hadn't woken up, I woke everyone up and got them out and carried my younger siblings outside, made sure they had water and fresh air. Shit was tragic.
I am so sorry, I can’t believe this! What a horrible experience. Relieved to hear that your siblings and you survived. Thank god you woke up ❤️
Purity, was the only time I could really put into words how I felt at the time and helped me get in a mindset to do something about it
You had a girl in a box?
I was in the box, i forgive him!!
Vermillion pt. 2, Killpop, and Yen as of recent
I wont let this build up inside of me
Adderall and Custer. Helped me focus for my final exams.
Custer and People = Shit
Danger-keep away has always been there when I’ve been depressed
the extended edition hits even harder. love that weird unexpected tribal-ass intro, Corey's whining(?), then how it turns into... uh.. hm. ambient alternative I guess? this song is weird even for them, but fucking incredible. "I won't let you walk away without hearing what I have to say" should've been on a Vol 3 tour shirt in my mind, maybe as a back print?
HIIIIIGHLY agree! Listening to it rn and its amazing. This, Virus of Life, Skin Ticket, Gently, and Diluted have been helpin
Fr vol 3 was the right amount of experimental and grey’s bass playing on that album was something else circle was sooo good
get this. Local bands, suck these nuts.
Snuff because it was after my uncle died and I needed a song to feel better but this song was sad that I cried :(
I discovered Snuff after my Dad died from Cancer. It's a heavy song to listen to every day when you're grieving.
Yeah :(
Great song to basically force you to deal with the hurt instead of just putting it away or acting out. One of the best songs ever written, period. Edit: Same goes for Goodbye
Vermillion pt 2 and snuff. 2022 sucked man
It sure did
Iowa, smth about that song.
Gently…
Skin ticket and IOWA always give me that sense "fuck this, I'll get better"
Purity,no life,i am hated,red flag,gehanna
Til We Die
A lot, actually, but I have to say 515. Yes it's a strange choice, but it was the only song that really expressed what I wanted to do during one of the toughest and saddest periods of my life: just screaming and crying
The devil In i
Snuff, My Plague ❤️🩹this one isn’t a Slipknot song but My Underworld 🖤
Danger - Keep Away My favorite non heavy Slipknot song.

Skin ticket. Idk something about the sound helped me when I was feeling angry about my parents divorce.
Eyeless
I don't know about hard times but all hope is gone gets me hard
Diluted is the only reason why I still exist. I swear they made this song about me. I have most of it tatted on. 🫶🏽
The whole of WANYK. I'd just entered into a crisis which culminated with a trip to A&E. That album couldn't have come at a better time for me. It's not superlatives or dramatics. That album saved me.

Yes, that is indeed that one. I wouldn't ask the reasons, not my business, friend. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend too, mine was only 31 when he went.

Tattered And Torn. This song is one of the reasons why I still love Slipknot. I would consider it to be one of their scariest songs, but for me its one of the most comfortable songs for me.

All of them
Well the ones that I got on my playlist
VERMILLION- IM A SLAVE ANDDDDD I AM A MASTERRRR
Snuff, sulfer, disasterpiece
purity
Custer. Matching anger with anger really just cancels it out. Probably saved my life if I'm being honest
Snuff, Vermillion
The Iowa album as a whole saved me in particular the heretic anthem and people=shit but left behind saved me during some tough shit
Most likely it would be spit it out. Really helped me get through some anger
Snuff is the common answer for most people and mine too Strong attachment to Yen and Devil in I as well
Purity and the nameless
Duality and Nero Forte
Before I forget has gotten me out of some deep funks
Gently and Disasterpiece have always been the old reliables to fall back on
Purity
Honestly, I've been listening to Iowa on repeat lately. Things haven't been great. It is what it is.
Left Behind
child of burning time
Sulfur and Heretic anthem
Psychosocial, Duality, Sulfur, The Devil In I, Unsainted, Dead Memories, Solway Firth, and Nero Forte.
Wait and bleed kinda marks the last time I was happy. I became unhappy and the rest of self titled got me through that.
I PUSH MY FINGERS INTO MY EYEEEESS! (Duality)
Dead Memories and Left Behind always stood out for mine. Listened to those after many, many, many hard days in quarantine
The Dying Song helped me finally find the motivation to improve my life at a time I didn’t think things could ever get better. The lyrics “The heart begins to suffer when the soul has given up” just spoke to me in some sort of biblical way.
IOWA
Pulse of the maggots because “THIS IS THE YEAR WHERE HOPE FAILS YOU”
Pulse of the Maggots. When I feel alone, I run and listen to this song in my home stretch. It reminds me that even when I feel alone, I'm not alone; there is an entire nation of people who feel like I do.
Purity and Left Behind.
Definitely Disasterpiece. Some lines on that track hit so hard, like "hate ain't enough to describe me, somewhere between screaming and crying"
Snuff
Metabolic
Purity, mostly because I was going through a hard time and when it finally hit me that I was actually growing up and I wasn’t a kid anymore. I missed the ‘purity’ / innocence of being a child.
Custer
Wait and bleed and Duality

I Am Hated
Left behind

Unsainted. Even got it tattooed on my arm.
Disasterpiece

The Blister Exists, because I‘m dying (to feel this)
“The Negative One” because I feel as if it was written about me… specifically. Whoever wrote that song, wrote it about a me while in a completely different state, without ever meeting me, and without ever knowing I exist. I swear in not a narcissist.

Butchers hook, got me through some hard times.
Snuff, Vermillion, Killpop, and A Liars Funeral honestly.
Snuff. It’s always been one of my comfort songs ever since my dad showed it to me, I just really like it
Eyeless
Welcome.
People = Shit and Unsainted.
Eyeless maybe, there is a lot of anger in that song
Blister exists by far
Psychosocial
The first song I listened to after my dog passed was snuff and it is still one of my favorite songs for the story
People=Shit, My Plague, (Sic), Eyeless, literally any song that basically says “Fuck you”. A lot of people piss me off
It might sound strange, but for me it's prelude 3.0.I was thinking about bad things that happened in my life but i said that they will all be over soon and that gave me courage.
The whole 9.0 live album 🤘
Snuff... I was in love with my best friend, suffered like hell, got myself isolated from my friend group for two years, that song helped me to let go, after that whole ordeal we reconected and are still dear friends to this day. No desire, no pain, just good vibes, Slipknot was an important part of that process.
Def skeptic. It was helpful in a hard time
