Joey Jordison Comments on Slipknot ‘Sulfur’ Video
"Making the 'Sulfur' video continued our quest to make a video different and visually stimulating," Joey Jordison, drummer for the Grammy Award-winning band Slipknot, told Noisecreep "Every video has had that goal, and [here] the colors, edits and overall energy was captured perfectly."
With no CG work to fool the viewers, the band proudly puts themselves at risk to create a visual art that accompanies their brutal niche of metal. "The water tank was very intense," says Jordison. "Being in our masks and we can't breathe at all; total underwater blackout." Each band member was fully submerged in water for the video, a hat-tip to Bill Viola's "Ascension" installation which is on display at the museum in their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. "[Once] again risking serious injury or death by drowning," said Jordison. "This is my favorite Slipknot vid so far."
