Masks

Jordison uses a Kabuki-style mask, which reflects a personal experience. During his youth, Jordison came home late one Halloween night to find his mother wearing a similar mask, meaning to frighten him. He was reportedly terrified of the emotionless stare of the mask. During the recording of Slipknot's first album, Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat., he wore a plain white version. For the band's self-titled album, he decorated it with stripes and dribbles of paint. For Iowa, he painted fake blood all over his mask, and for the Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) era, he included a variation of designs in the mask, notably the unique claw slashes. His most recent mask, shown during his appearance at the Fuse Fangoria Award show, is gray with red and black markings. His recent mask which was revealed July 1st on AOL's Spinner.com site shows Jordison's mask for the All Hope Is Gone era having a similair mask although with painted stitches and a crown of thorns with painted blood onto it, most likely a reference to Jesus when he became crucified. Jordison has expanded on the mask, saying, "The design enables it to feel however you want it to feel; scary, evil or perverted. All those things held in one mask." Jordison owns more variations of the mask than any other member of the band, changing its look much more frequently."
