Meet The Demons
The defining visuals for both Slipknot and SMTV: V are their masks — the signature faces of the band and the game. Each look is meticulously crafted, channeling the profound, darker themes found in Slipknot’s lyrics and SMTV: V’s narrative. These themes are made all the more authentic by Jim Ojala, the artist behind many of Slipknot’s masks, crafting a physical representation of these subjects. This video explores a behind the scenes look at Jim’s process.
