Rather than make a traditional video for their five-minute song \u201cNero Forte,\u201d Slipknot<\/a> have made a 20-minute surrealistic short film to give you the heebie-jeebies.<\/p>\n

You can fill your time watching bugs gestate and creep around, office insulation blow from open vents, and the band members themselves perform as a nine-man drum line. If you\u2019re looking for a more straightforward clip for the We Are Not Your Kind<\/a><\/em> single, \u201cNero Forte,\u201d skip to 8:27 (or visit YouTube<\/a>) to see Corey Taylor and his masked compatriots bellow about \u201canimosity\u201d and how \u201cnobody does it better than the enemy\u201d while pounding the crap out of their instruments and each other.<\/p>\n

The longer clip starts with \u201cThe End\u201d and ends with a person appearing to crawl out of their own skin (and a title card that says \u201cThe Beginning\u201d). Overall, it\u2019s an exercise in the avant-garde with clear debts owed to filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Godfrey Reggio and Luis Bu\u00f1uel, but it\u2019s still rooted in the primalism of We Are Not Your Kind<\/em>, which, incidentally, was Rolling Stone\u2019s <\/em>metal album of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI set out to make a short film that makes you question your own existence, here in this reality,\u201d percussionist Clown, who directed it, said in a statement. \u201cWhen you lay down in your bed, next to the one you love, do you ever ask yourself, \u2018Is it possible that this person could slit my throat while I\u2019m sleeping?\u2019 Enjoy. Pollution is everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slipknot will be spending most of the year touring internationally. They\u2019ll return to the U.S. in the spring for an appearance at Columbus, Ohio\u2019s Sonic Temple Festival.<\/p>\n
