[METAL] Slipknot takes the stage donned in Ed Gein-style coveralls and creepy masks. You could chalk this up to shock-rock mentality, or you could (and should) disregard it because their appearance doesn’t hold a candle to their scary-good sound. Slipknot’s forte is distilling fury into artfully constructed, infectious melodies without losing their meaty metal edge. Their songs bash you over the head, but their crafty arrangements always cushion the blow. Catch Slipknot with Lamb of God, Bullet for My Valentine, and Motionless in White at Darien Lake on Wednesday, July 29.
