Slipknot’s Shocking Transformation: What Sparked Their Wild, Mind-Bending New Journey in India?
Well, I sure didn’t have “Slipknot goes Eat Pray Love” on my 2024 bingo card . Picture this: the kings of chaos trade sweat-soaked jumpsuits and intimidating masks for breezy beige tunics—sitting cross-legged and pondering life’s biggest riddles somewhere along the Ganges . Can you imagine roaring “People = Shit” with the same intensity after a meditation session and a gentle reminder to breathe? It’s got me asking—what happens when all that rage finds some inner peace? I can’t help but giggle at the thought of a sitar solo at Knotfest, or maybe that’s just the incense talking . Let’s face it—spiritual enlightenment looks good on everyone, even if you’re known for headbanging in nine layers of leather and metal . Ready to see how metal meets mindfulness? LEARN MORE

RISHIKESH, INDIA—In an effort to break down creative barriers and open their minds to new types of spirituality, members of the heavy metal band Slipknot reportedly traveled to India this week to begin the psychedelic, free-love phase of their career. “The rishi has been teaching us a lot of different things about pain and anger, and now, thanks to his teachings, we’re all about abundant love and universal acceptance,” said percussionist and Slipknot co-founder Shawn Crahan, sitting cross-legged on the floor and clad in a lightweight beige tunic as he extolled the virtues of discipline, simplicity, and mindfulness enshrined at the ashram that he and his fellow bandmates—known for the songs “Eyeless,” “Wait And Bleed,” and “People = Shit”—had recently made their home. “We learned all about Transcendental Meditation and realized that we need to expand our collective consciousness. Only then can we shed our masks—both physical and spiritual—and truly grow as artists.” Slipknot has also teased plans for an all-sitar set at Knotfest later this year.
