In episode twenty‑six of Skip’d, Rob & Mike plunge into the chaotic, cathartic world of Slipknot’s 2019 behemoth We Are Not Your Kind — a record that proved the band could still evolve, still innovate, and still hit harder than almost anyone in modern metal.

Equal parts experimental and punishing, the album fuses industrial dread, atmospheric electronics, and the band’s trademark brutality into a sprawling statement of identity and defiance. From the suffocating tension of “Unsainted” to the glitch‑ridden menace of “Nero Forte,” this is Slipknot at their most focused, furious, and creatively unhinged. It’s the soundtrack for emotional purging, late‑night adrenaline spikes, and every moment you need to scream your way back to life.

What’s inside:

• A breakdown of standout cuts like “Unsainted,” “Nero Forte,” and the haunting slow‑burn “Spiders”
• A deep dive into the band’s sonic evolution — exploring how We Are Not Your Kind blends experimentation with classic Slipknot aggression, and how the album reflects the band’s internal fractures and renewed sense of purpose
• Reflections on the album’s critical acclaim, its place in Slipknot’s legacy, and whether this era represents a creative rebirth or the sharpening of a formula perfected over two decades
• Plus Rob & Mike reflect on life in the English school system as alternative kids.
