I remember Slipknot as being the radio-friendly stand-in for hardcore, with MTV-ish radio hits like Duality. But damn, I forgot how HARD they went on the first couple albums. This is a great example of why plenty of death metal fans in my age range cite them as a gateway drug.
I’ve never heard of Winds of Tragedy before, but I just checked out Our Time is Gone and it’s a pretty great song, I’ll have to check out the rest 🙂
