Having photographed them on a couple different occasions now, Slipknot are always a fun shoot. I was excited to hear that they were headlining the Mayhem Fest 2012 tour. With blinding white light at times and plenty of action on stage, this show was a fun one.

Just a great show from Slipknot, as always. The band, having masks on, really amp up the theatrics and certainly seem to play it up for cameras and fans alike.
