MetalSucks is proud to be teaming with Roadrunner Records to give away two (2) VINYL copies of Slipknot’s awesome 2008 release, All Hope is Gone, in what we think is one of our coolest contests ever. Here are the rules:

  1. Design your own Slipknot mask. This should NOT just be a variation of a pre-existing mask – your assignment is to design a whole new mask, not, say, just a new mask for Clown or another member of the band.
  2. Post your design or a link to your design in our comments section below. MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER FOR THE COMMENTS WITH A VALID E-MAIL ADDRESS, as the winners will be contacted via e-mail.
  3. You can do the design with Photoshop, as a collage, with pen, pencil, paint, magic marker, crayon, poop smears – whatever you want. The only rule is that it has to be original and it has to look cool.
  4. Axl and Vince will choose their two favorite mask designs. The creators of those designs will each win a vinyl copy of All Hope is Gone.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CONTEST IS OPEN TO U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY.

So there ya have it. Get crackin’ on those mask designs, ’cause this prize is sweet, and Axl and Vince are really looking forward to seeing what y’all come up with!

-Axl, Vince, and Everyone at MetalSucks

    Well I’m a great fan of Slipknot and would appreciate it if I won the contest well as I say on Myspace I’m deprived of music at my house cuz my mom doesn’t let me listen to Slipknot at my house since they are, as they might call them, “ignorant people that care more about their masks than the music” and since I live with my mom only, dad’s in jail, I have to listen to whatever she says and while she’s gone to work and I’m alone at my house I listen to Slipknot ^^………………Stay (sic) maggots

  19. andrea says:

    damn this is realy it.this is a mask i made with slipknot in mind they have been a good driving force musically for me. this is my way of saying thanks.

  23. Heres my Slipknot mask I use Paint Program i know its not the best but i tried

    Good luck all you maggots

  24. Ok. So this was very Slipknot inspired. I made this mask for my Halloween costume last year. I must say I really liked the way it came out. I say that because I actually made little kids cry with the whole get up on.

    I based my mask on Corey and Joey’s masks. The creepy white mask of Joey’s with the disturbing blacked out eye of Corey’s. I also cut the bottom jaw off and reattached it with elastic so that it would move when I talked. Didn’t work to well, but it still looks pretty cool.

    Based on my obsession with goat skulls and Native American culture.
    It’s a rough sketch. I can clean it up if necessary.

    Okay. I’ve seen two really good masks. The one with the two different eyes and bunch of straps, and the wooden one that was near the top. The others look like really odd renditions of hockey masks, or just general halloween masks. Now, I’m not saying mine’s so much better than the rest, since it’s a drawing, but it looks like some people could’ve put a lot more effort into these. Maybe I just have really high expectations, but it’s also probable that the real masterpieces won’t be entered until the last minute, using every spare minute to make them more perfect. So I’m also trying to see if maybe I could get my mask made, but that’s not much time, and I don’t have a budget large enough to make it look great. So. Anyways. Whoever wins, congratulations.

    Aye yo brian, isn’t that the behemoth symbol on his head?

    • maggot ov terror 6(sic)6 says:

      it is,but actually it`s not originally from behemoth it`s from the Thelema-

    • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/ says:

      ha no shit it is innit? i didnt even know, i dont really listen 2 behemoth, i just remember seeing it somewhere and deciding i liked it and thinking it would look great carved into the forehead of a slipknot mask lol. i guess thats gonna be a problem though. heres the new one:

  32. carlo says:

    my mask are in opiumofthepeople.net in fan art, other shit,with my name carlo in the photos

  33. Grayson says:

    here is mine…

  34. Sid Chinaski says:

    not all that fantastic but it’s all that came to mind

    this mask is suppose to be kinda like a porcelain doll face but the right side seems to have broken off.
    the left side for me represents the falsity of everyday people always giving their fake smiles to the world and the eye on this side is covered by mesh kinda like coreys new mask. the right side of the mask stands for what people really are on the inside: angry, sad, depressed, lost etc. the side of one that people never see.

    yeahhhhh, i would have made it a little better but i had no time >>
