With no fewer than nine members and a unique stage image based on grotesque masks and boiler suits, Slipknot retained a mystique that was unprecedented in the metal world, never allowing their faces to become known - so that the focus would remain on their music
The first edition of this book published in 2001 followed the band from their inception in Des Moines, Iowa in the mid-1990s through to the release of their second album: an updated edition followed in 2003.
Slipknot: All Hope Is Gone explores this unlikely and tragic evolution, with new chapters covering the band's career to date - and it also asks what their future will be.
Joel McIver is the author of 20 books on music (another 30 exist in translation). His best-known book is 2004's Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica - also published by Omnibus Press - which has sold close to 50,000 copies in several languages. He regularly appears on radio and TV and contributes to many British international magazines.
