Acclaimed photographer Paul Harries has worked with Slipknot since the very beginning of the group's musical journey, and as you can imagine he's grabbed some pretty amazing photos along the way.

Now, you can get an insight into the Slipknot camp via "Dysfunctional Family Portraits" at an exclusive photographic exhibition, running until May 17th at the Strand Gallery, 32 John Adam St, London WC2N 6BP. Entry is free.

But, if you can't make the exhibition, don't panic: the run is accompanied by a book of the same name featuring the shots on display at the gallery. The publication hits stores on Monday May 11th, but you can pre-order now at this location.

What's Next?

I can picture it now:

A crowd of immaculately dressed, high class people. The men are in black, a few even wearing top hats. The women are all dressed up, looking their best. Soft jazz is playing in a dimly lit art gallery.

"Oh, yes," murmurs an elderly man to his aged companion. "I quite adore this piece. I think it's a simply stunning representation of the metaphysical, while staying true to the characteristics of the genre."

"Indeed," purrs his wife. "In fact, I would go as far so say that this is a paragon of the neo-expressionist movement."

It's Corey Taylor stabbing a bunny.

that Seinfeld episode with the Kramer portrait comes to mind, with the pompous intellectuals drawing some sort of connection between Kramer and the struggles of all mankind.
"I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world.""I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges.""His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit.""He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can't look away.""He transcends time and space.""He sickens me.""I love it.""Me too."
