Let's Talk About SLIPKNOT's New Masks

slipknot 2019

#6 Shawn "Clown" Crahan

Clown seems to be the one who changed his mask the most during the last album cycle for .5: The Grey Chapter but it looks like he settled on a pretty killer (clown) look for this new album and it might be my favorite iteration of the Clown mask yet.

#7 Mick Thomson

As far as least changing masks in Slipknot history, Mick Thomson holds the record. I can't think of anything but minor changes to his masks throughout the years, and it's no different here. The design is solid and he's sticking with it. It does look like the colors are updated a bit to give it a more steel-like look.

#4 – Jim Root

Jim definitely updated the design of his mask to be a bit more stylistic. Before, the mask had more of an Alice Cooper vibe with darkened eyes with black lines coming from them, but here it's certainly updated a bit. Root is second to Thomson in terms of masks being the least changed throughout album cycles.

#0 – Sid Wilson

Wilson's mask seems like the most unique choice as it looks like his mask is a mask of his face. It almost looks like he's wearing no mask, giving it a weird horror movie vibe – like the dude chopped his own face off and made a mask of it. Very eerie. I wonder if it will stick around throughout the entire album cycle.

#5 – Craig "133" Jones

Actually, I take it back – Mick Thomson's mask has evolved more than Craig Jones' – who just looks like an exaggerated Hellraiser. Not much change here. There aren't even that many shots of Jones in the video. I count two:
