SLIPKNOT VS KOᴙN

Slipknot and Koᴙn  are both American nu-metal bands that both started performing in the early 90’s.(Koᴙn being a few years older than Slipknot) I love both of these bands, so I will be reviewing both of their greatest hits albums. Slipknot’s greatest hits are called: Antennas to Hell. While Koᴙn’s greatest hits are called: Greatest Hits Vol 1.

I have chosen these metal bands because; in the world of metal they are great rivals. I personally like Slipknot more because they are more known and I have been listening to them for a longer period of time. Koᴙn is also good, but I have just started listening to them for just a few weeks, so I am still getting used to the new songs that are getting blasted into my ears.

If you are a person that likes to bang your head a lot and make a big racket in the neighborhood, then Slipknot is the one to go for. If you like metal, but like a lower level intensity of hearing the classic metal growl, then Koᴙn is for you.

My favorite songs from Slipknot’s Antennas to Hell are: Left Behind, Psychosocial, Spit it Out, Surfacing, Before I Forget, People=S#!t, and Pulse of Maggots. I love these songs because I love heavy hardcore metal that will eventually destroy my eardrums and cause massive headaches. I’m not sure why I like this, but I just do with great respect for it.

My favorite songs from Koᴙn’s Greatest Hits Vol 1 are: Another Brick in the Wall, Word Up, A.D.I.D.A.S, Y’all Want a Single, Twist, and Clown. I love these songs only because Koᴙn is slightly more forgiving than Slipknot. So, after I listen to my favorite tracks from Slipknot, I listen to Koᴙn to cool the metal off a bit.

Both of these bands are awesome, but if I were to choose one I will of course go for the heavier Slipknot. I also like Koᴙn, but they are softer and not as violent… 

Below are the music videos of my favorite songs from each band. WARNING: IT HAS SOME GORE!!!
