Grief and fury share the same mask on .5: The Gray Chapter, Slipknot's fifth studio album, presented here on CD. It arrived in 2014 as the sound of a band refusing to fold.
The years before it were brutal. Bassist Paul Gray died in 2010, and longtime drummer Joey Jordison later parted ways with the group, leaving the Des Moines outfit to decide whether Slipknot still had a future. The answer came back loud, with the title nodding directly to Gray and much of the writing wrestling with loss, rage and survival.
Musically it pulls from every corner of their catalogue. "The Devil In I" pairs a grinding verse with one of Corey Taylor's biggest choruses, while "Custer" is pure chaos, a stomping, chant-heavy riot built for the pit. "Killpop" slows into something eerie and strangely seductive, and "The Negative One" brings back the jagged, percussion-heavy menace of their earliest material.
There is real tenderness under the noise too, in the way the album keeps circling back to absence and memory without ever going soft. It is heavy in every sense of the word, and it sounds like nine people pulling each other through.
For maggots who lived through the uncertainty of those years, this is the album where Slipknot proved they were still standing, scarred but louder than ever.
