SLIPKNOT
–
All
Hope
Is Gone
Ironically
the
new
Slipknot
album
was
released
here
within
about
a week
of the
Krugersdorp
case
where
a misguided
kid
was
allegedly
inspired
by the
band
to attack
fellow
pupils
with
a sword
–
killing
one.
So,
the
age-old
“Metal
music
drives
kids
to kill”
debate
came
up again,
an issue
which
I defended
on eTV’s
satellite
news
channel
and
on which
I wrote
an extensive
article
- www.PaulBlom.com
- so
I won’t
get
into
it here.
Many
believe
that
negative
publicity
is better
than
positive
publicity,
in which
case
All
Hope
Is Gone
should
be getting
quite
a bit
of attention.
This
is a
great
album
with
that
unique
Slipknot
style,
albeit
a touch
more
restrained
in parts,
but
just
as you
think
a more
rock
feel
has
slipped
in,
they
let
rip
to convince
you
they’re
still
heavy
as fuck,
with
speed,
power
and
far
more
substance
than
mere
mindless
incitement.
