Slipknot's achievements in heavy metal are substantial. They have sold over 30 million records worldwide, with two albums, All Hope Is Gone and We Are Not Your Kind, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. They won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2006 for "Before I Forget." The band has been a dominant force at the Kerrang! Awards and Metal Hammer Golden Gods, winning Best Live Band multiple times. Their 2019 album We Are Not Your Kind swept several year-end awards, including Album of the Year from Alternative Press and Loudwire. Slipknot's impact is measured not just in sales but in the lasting influence they have had on metal culture and live performance.
