10 Heaviest Slipknot Anthems So Far

Wait And Bleed serves almost as a bit of a pallet cleanser on Slipknot’s self-titled album. Whilst the song is still extremely heavy, and cause for the opening of stupidly violent mosh pits worldwide, it’s one of very few songs that feature clean vocals on the debut album. It’s without a doubt the most famous song including them on this record as well.

It’s important to acknowledge that when this album released in 1999, many fans wouldn’t have experienced music quite as heavy as this; certainly not at the same level of commercial popularity.

For mainstream audiences, growls, breakdowns and blast-beats were first introduced to them when this record released. As such, giving them a track they could sing along to without tearing out their tonsils proved to be massively successful.

This is yet another 20-year-old Slipknot song that is still immediately recognised when it comes on today. Garnering an adoring reaction from fans every time it’s performed live, Wait And Bleed truly is one for the ages.

Just be sure to step out of the crowd if you’re starting to feel a little tired and you hear Corey utter the phrase, “I felt the hate rise up in me.”
