Benjamin formed in 2000, when Aaron Fink and Mark James left Lifer (a band
already signed to a label) and joined forces with Ben Burnley and Jeremy
Hummel. Their first single to get radio play was "Polyamorous"
off of their first CD entitled Saturate which was officially released in
2002. Their second disc, entitled We Are Not Alone, followed
quickly behind their year of touring. |

What makes Slipknot stand out among the other shock rock metal music is their performance. The nine members always perform in matching jump suits and pretty creepy looking masks. Slipknot came together in Des Moines, Iowa in 1995. Their very first album, entitled Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat, gained them recognition from many labels. In 1999, they released their first official album called simply Slipknot. Ozzfest helped Slipknot create a fan base and their first album went platinum. In 2001, they released their second album entitled Iowa which debuted at #3. |
