About Knot(sic) Since Slipknot hit the national scene in 1999, their fanbase - affectionately known as “maggots” - has been rabid. Slipknot’s intense music and nine-member cast of horror-esque characters is like a drug to them and they can’t get enough. They’re addicted. Fiends. Junkies. It doesn’t take long to go into withdrawl - to physically and emotionally yearn for “the Knot.” To become Knot(sic). Knot(sic) is the world's most authentic tribute to Slipknot. We've painstakingly sourced the most accurate masks, the most detailed jumpsuits, and iconic signature instruments. More importantly, we perform the music exactly as Slipknot always has. No backing tracks, no fake turntables, no shortcuts. No other tribute on the planet delivers a more realistic performance. Slipknot is one of the most popular metal bands of all time, on par with the likes of Metallica, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
