Ahead of Slipknot's 2024 tour kickoff this evening (Aug. 6), the band has posted a series of artistic new photos displaying the masks of each member of the group. The masks have become a key part of the presentation for Slipknot over the years, with some band members making minor tweaks along the way while others have undergone radical transformations. With this being the 25th anniversary of the band's self-titled album, there's been plenty of interest concerning how they will honor that, and it appears that there are at least some throwback looks in the bunch.

Rock bands are musical groups that primarily play rock music, characterized by strong rhythms, electric guitars, and powerful vocals. Emerging in the 1950s, rock has evolved into various subgenres, including classic rock, punk, metal, and alternative. Iconic bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones helped define the genre’s early sound, while others like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd pushed musical boundaries with innovative compositions. Rock bands often emphasize live performance and dynamic stage presence, contributing to their cultural significance. Today, rock continues to influence a wide range of artists and remains a vital part of the music landscape.
