List of songs recorded by Slipknot

Slipknot is an American heavy metal band formed in Des Moines, Iowa in 1995. The band's first release was a demo entitled Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., self-released in 1996, which featured the lineup of Anders Colsefni (vocals), Donnie Steele, Josh Brainard (both guitars), Paul Gray (bass), Joey Jordison (drums), and Shawn Crahan (percussion).[1] The demo contained eight tracks, all of which were credited to the band as a whole,[1] and three of which – "Gently", "Only One", and "Tattered & Torn" – later appeared on the band's full-length debut album.[2] After a number of lineup changes, Slipknot released a self-titled second demo in 1998, which featured five tracks of which four were later included on one or more versions of the album of the same name.[3]
After finalising the lineup of Corey Taylor (vocals), Mick Thomson, Jim Root (both guitars), Gray (bass), Jordison (drums), Crahan, Chris Fehn (both percussion), Sid Wilson (turntables), and Craig Jones (samples), Slipknot released its self-titled debut album in 1999, with all songs credited to the band as a whole as with Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. and the Slipknot demo.[2] As he had joined the band near the end of the recording sessions, Jim Root only appeared on two songs on the album ("Purity" and "Me Inside"), with Josh Brainard performing on the remainder. The album was supported by the release of two singles – "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out" – both of which charted in the United Kingdom and Australia.[4][5]
Following the critical success of Slipknot, the band released second album Iowa in 2001, which reached number three on the US Billboard 200 and topped the UK Albums Chart.[4][6] As with its predecessors, all songs on Iowa were credited as being written by the whole band.[7] The following year, the band's first live video album was released: Disasterpieces, recorded live in London, England, features a range of songs from both Slipknot and Iowa.[8] In 2003, the song "Snap" from the 1998 Slipknot demo was featured on the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack, released by Slipknot's label Roadrunner Records.[9]
After a brief hiatus, during which time individual members of the band focused on a number of side projects, Slipknot returned in 2004 with its third full-length album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses).[10] The album improved on its predecessors' US chart position, peaking at number two on the Billboard 200,[6] and also spawned the band's first single to appear on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in the form of "Duality" which peaked at number six.[11] The Vol. 3 singles were also the band's first to feature original B-sides – "Don't Get Close" on "Duality" and "Scream" on "Vermilion".[12][13] "Before I Forget" also won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2006. The band's first live album, 9.0: Live, followed in 2005, featuring a range of songs from the band's three studio releases.[14]
In 2008, Slipknot released its most commercially successful album to date, All Hope Is Gone, which was the band's first to top the Billboard 200 albums chart in the US and also peaked at number two in the UK.[4][6] As with all albums prior, the songwriting of All Hope Is Gone was credited to the whole band.[15] Of the five singles released from the album, two – "Psychosocial" and "Snuff" – reached the top ten of the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in the US,[11] while an additional two – "Dead Memories" and "Sulfur" – charted in the top 20 of the Mainstream Rock chart.[6] All Hope Is Gone would turn out to be the last album recorded by bassist and founding member Paul Gray, who died on May 24, 2010,[16] and also the last with founding drummer Joey Jordison, whose departure from the band was announced in December 2013.[17] The band released live video album (sic)nesses in 2010,[18] followed by its first compilation album Antennas to Hell in 2012.[19]
