Slipknot – Iowa (2001)
Brutal, uncompromising, and relentlessly heavy, Iowa is the definitive masterpiece of modern extreme metal. After the explosive success of their debut, Slipknot returned with an album fueled by pure vitriol and creative exhaustion, resulting in what many critics and fans consider the darkest and most intense record of their career.
Recorded during a period of internal turmoil, the album eschews commercial polish in favor of a raw, crushing sound that pushes the boundaries of Nu-Metal into the realms of Death and Thrash. From the chaotic percussion of "People = Shit" to the haunting, sprawling title track, Iowa is a visceral listening experience that remains the benchmark for aggression in 21st-century music.
