Album Notes Slipknot's debut may not be as accomplished as some of their later releases, but it's still a startling listen. The band's quirky take on metal, which includes elements of rap, death metal thrash, and progressive metal, not to mention Halloween masks, rose out of Iowa like a chilling nightmare, and manifested itself on the eight tracks of MATE KILL FEED REPEAT. Heavy riffs and unusual song structures dominate, amid rapping, singing, and growling. Already on their first album Slipknot establish their knack for engaging familiar metal elements while subverting them. The 20-minute-plus "Killers Are Quiet," for example, is one of the most experimental cuts on the disc, and also one of the standouts.
