Behemoth

The first-ever Knotfest At Sea goes down this August.

Adam ”Nergal” Darski also addressed the controversy that ensued after he posted a picture of a ”Black Metal Against Antifa” shirt to his Instagram story, saying, ”I’m just a liberal with a big mouth.”

Slipknot played a nice chunk of their classic debut, which turned 20 this year, plus stuff off their great new album and more…

Slipknot’s North American tour with Behemoth (and Gojira and Volbeat) hits the NYC-area this week, and the two bands will also trek across Europe and the UK together in 2020.

”U can ask your buddies to censor my art, u can ask your disciples to bring me to courts, u can ask your sons to boycott Behemoth’s shows… but u can’t FUCK with my work out routine!” Behemoth frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski writes.

Shows with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Korn, Alice Cooper, Wiz Khalifa, Beck, Jimmy Eat World, Gojira, Behemoth, and more are also included in the promotion.

Slipknot may have been considered ”uncool” during their initial reign, but they’ve emerged as a huge influence on a lot of today’s heavy music, and 2019 is shaping up to be a big comeback year for them.

Slipknot’s first album in five years will be out in August.

Plus: Ice Cube, Frank Turner, J.I.D./Saba, Mavis Staples, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Weyes Blood, Filthy Friends, Yeasayer, Haruomi Hosono and more tickets on sale.
