Apparently the band also has Shawn "Clown" Crahan's son, Simon Crahan on drums. So Vended *really* is Slipknot's legacy! Very interesting

Gave Where The Honesty Lies a listen, and though it's obviously very Slipknot, it's surprisingly not that bad. I might have to give that album a shot.

Saw these guys live at a festival once. They were ok, but definitely not main stage material, which was where the played

Oh dang I didn't even see this but I just posted my soundoff opinion

Basically they would be compared to Slipknot even if they weren't their kids. They could've done something different if they wanted but they pretty much made Iowa 2.0. I dig it, but I also grew up in Iowa and am just a diehard Knot fan, so...

nepo nu metal is a pretty hilarious concept tbh

production is pretty lifeless. early slipknot had that powerful drum sound that this just completely lacks.

Apparently Griffin was upset by some of Slipknot comparisons but it's like... Dude you copied your dad's vocal style nearly identically, both in singing and screaming, and your band plays an extremely similar style of music, what did you expect?

Can't get into this band. Really does just feel like discount Slipknot. Slipknot themselves sound like discount Slipknot at this point but you know what I mean.

wasnt this the kid that played as a touring bassist for korn awhile ago?

It's fine but feels like a missed opportunity. If they want to show their pops that they can take over the family business that's fair enough, but it'd be cooler if they used the old Slipknot sound as a starting point to explore something different.

I’m torn. Part of me feels like this would actually be better if they adopted more of the classic Slipknot imagery and intentionally marketed themselves as the successor to Slipknot.

As is, it’s just confusing because it sounds eerily similar to Slipknot yet not as good, while retaining no obvious imagery or connection to them.

They’ve got to go all in, or do something entirely different.

The tribal drum sound is like 90% of what makes the first Slipknot album great, so there’s really no reason for this to exist.

Nepotism, the band

the metal greta van fleet

Nepotism, the band [2]

The squeaky clean production does NOT help this band

Nepotism is fucking everywhere now. Landon Barker opened for Blink 182 on their most recent tour when I saw them, despite playing generic music.

Nepotism(1,000)

yeah the worst thing about this is it's too well produced for a project that otherwise sounds like a local mid 00s myspace band

but i gotta admit this is still better than anything five finger death punch ever put out, i suppose that's noteworthy

it's kinda like Slipknot minus the ideas

Definitely don’t deserve to be headlining yet.

Dreadful.

Slipknot minus the 2 guys beating on trashcans and the guy that headbands behind a soundboard or the sampler that does the same disc scratch over and over again. WOW!

hey man a gimmick is a gimmick

You guys think Clown passed down his beer kegs as like a family heirloom? Is that how his son discovered drums which are basically beer kegs with a few extra steps?

I wonder if they'll go "heavier" for their second album, name it 'Des Moines' and then make radio-friendly metal on their third album and beyond (all complete and utter shit, lest we forget)

getting jimmies rustled at being compared to your pops band when your band literally sounds like your pops band

that headline is pretty damning

trashhhhhhhhh. if it didn't have coreys son in it, no one would care.

honestly Corey is so washed up now that if his son is forming Slipknot 2.0 then... you know what, i actually couldn't give a fuck.

cant wait to be 12 again

if their dads are so successful, why are they still in Des Moines? is there something endearing about that city I don't know

They alone keep the economy running

the disrespect to corn

One thing: these bands should sing from the depths. What did this kid ever had to go through? rich kid with all his dreams allowed. What is the point of screaming if you re just fine? I mean think Chester Benington and the aftermath, music should express not impress.

This is a weird concept, idk

nepo babies are the bane of existence
