Slipknot's self-titled album was amazing was used all 9 members to amazing effect. It was some kind of orchestral noise metal or something.. go ahead and scoff, but if you hear the album, you know what I mean... however, later albums relegated the roles of the multiple percussionists to just dancing and banging on shit and screaming, but.. that self-titled album had lots of interesting polyrhythms. never understood why they needed a dj AND a sampler though... the sampler guy sure was funny.. I saw a live video and he had this HUGE box, it looked almost like a money mover machine.. it was this huge metal box that had one red button in the middle of it.. and he'd just randomly press it in the beginning of a song or something.. ridiculous.
