Netflix has dropped a bombshell for metalheads around the world with the release of a brand-new documentary chronicling the dark, chaotic, and trailblazing journey of Slipknot. Titled “Slipknot: Through the Chaos,” the documentary digs deep into the band’s origins, meteoric rise, and lasting legacy in the heavy metal scene, while also peeling back the layers of mystery behind their iconic masks and brutal sound.
The film, which premiered globally on Netflix this week, runs just over 90 minutes and features never-before-seen footage, raw interviews, and backstage moments with both current and former members of the band. From their gritty beginnings in Des Moines, Iowa, to headlining massive global festivals, “Slipknot: Through the Chaos” offers an unfiltered look at how nine masked misfits defied the odds and changed the face of modern metal.
Fans can expect candid reflections from frontman Corey Taylor, percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan, and other key members who open up about the personal demons, lineup changes, and controversies that have followed the band throughout its career. The documentary also includes tributes to the late Joey Jordison and Paul Gray, whose contributions to the group remain immeasurable.
What sets this documentary apart is its raw emotional core. Viewers are taken beyond the chaos of Slipknot’s explosive live shows to explore the band’s impact on a generation of fans who found a voice through their music. With interviews from fellow musicians, journalists, and longtime Maggots (Slipknot fans), the film paints a vivid picture of how Slipknot became more than just a band—they became a movement.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or curious newcomer, “Slipknot: Through the Chaos” is a must-watch. The documentary is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
