Slipknot Photo Exhibition Opens In London

A new photo exhibition devoted to Slipknot has opened in London this week. "Kerrang! Presents: Slipknot - A Photographic Exhibition by Paul Harries Sponsored By Relentless Energy Drink" is being held at the Strand Gallery at 32 John Adam Street, London July 12-24. It's all part of Kerrang! magazine's 30th Anniversary celebrations.

"Slipknot is not always the easiest band to capture in the true essence of photography and also not very easy to work with in the photo environment," admits Shawn Crahan, a.k.a. Clown. "Paul Harries has always been able to capture the band in its true form and has also been able to put up with all our bullshit that surrounds us night and day. Look at 'the Knot' as seen through the eyes of a true photographer, artist and friend."

Harries will be available at the gallery on Saturday, July 16 from 3-7 PM to share stories behind the images and discuss his photography.

"It has been great to be a part of the Slipknot circus over the last 12 years," says Harries. "Such a visual and exciting band like this is a gift for a photographer like me, although they are often unpredictable! I am looking forward to seeing this collection of shots on display in a gallery setting."
