From tour photographer Paul Harries, a choice of the perfect never-before-seen photographs of the controversial rock band
Slipknot, the immediately-recognizable heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, shot to fame after the release of their first album in 1999, grabbing the attention of millions of adoring fans, and a few not-so-adoring conservative commentators. From the first, Paul Harries photographed them on stage, behind the scenes and through artistic eyes, and Dysfunctional Circle of relatives Portraits is a fascinatingly creative look at this distinctive band.
The name Dysfunctional Circle of relatives Portraits perfectly sums up the band, a dysfunctional melee of chaos and aggressive music, even as the humans at the back of the monstrous masks remained really close, and their camaraderie comes across in these intimate photographic portraits. The energy and chaos of their live shows is particularly well-captured by Harries’ brilliant shots, showing them in their natural habitat: that of loud, sweaty, lively and adrenaline-fueled music.
