Joey Jordison Comments on Slipknot 'Sulfur' Video

Posted on May 4th 2009 10:00AM by Vicki Siolos Comments
"Making the 'Sulfur' video continued our quest to make a video different and visually stimulating," Joey Jordison, drummer for the Grammy Award-winning band Slipknot, told Noisecreep "Every video has had that goal, and [here] the colors, edits and overall energy was captured perfectly."

With no CG work to fool the viewers, the band proudly puts themselves at risk to create a visual art that accompanies their brutal niche of metal. "The water tank was very intense," says Jordison. "Being in our masks and we can't breathe at all; total underwater blackout." Each band member was fully submerged in water for the video, a hat-tip to Bill Viola's "Ascension" installation which is on display at the museum in their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. "[Once] again risking serious injury or death by drowning," said Jordison. "This is my favorite Slipknot vid so far."

ffs, stop slaging bands off just because you dont like them. i like most music: rap, rock, punk, hard rock, metal, nu-metal, heavy metal, black metal, death metal, grindcore. but, just because i dont like R&B doesnt mean im gonna go round slagging it off. slipknot are my favourite band, their music is incredibly complex, and maybe if you opened your ears youd hear that aswell.
