Day Of The Gusano captures Slipknots historic Knotfest appearance in Mexico City on 5th December 2015. It was the bands first concert in front of the citys famously passionate rock and metal fans. From the moment the band arrived, the maggots (gusano in Spanish, the bands own term for their fans, and happily adopted by the fans as a point of pride) were out in force and by the time of the show the atmosphere was electric. Slipknot are one of the most exciting live bands on the planet and delivered both a visceral performance and spectacular staging for their Mexican debut. With a setlist featuring tracks from across their albums, this highly anticipated show gives a window into the chaos, excitement and community Slipknot has cultivated over the past 20+ years.
Slipknot is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. The band was founded in 1995 by percussionist Shawn Crahan, drummer Joey Jordison and bassist Paul Gray. After several lineup changes in its early years, the band settled on nine members for more than a decade: Crahan, Jordison, Gray, Craig Jones, Mick Thomson, Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, Chris Fehn, and Jim Root. Gray died on May 24, 2010, and was replaced during 2011 - 2014 by guitarist Donnie Steele. Jordison was dismissed from the band on December 12, 2013. Steele left during the recording sessions for .5: The Gray Chapter. The band found replacements in Alessandro Venturella on bass and Jay Weinberg on drums. After the departure of Jordison, as of December 2013 the only founding member in the current lineup is percussionist Crahan. Fehn was also dismissed from the band in March 2019 prior to the writing of We Are Not Your Kind. Slipknot is well known for its attention-grabbing image, aggressive style of music, and energetic and chaotic live shows.
