MASKS


#0 – Sid Wilson

Turntables
During the self titled era Sid wore an array of different gasmasks. He would switch between masks on a very regular occasion, and it is unclear how many different masks he used throughout that period. The masks he used were a range of military gasmasks, some of which he customized in multiple ways, including; removing filters around the mouth area and other various alterations.

#1 – Joey Jordison

Drums
During the self titled era Joey wore an expressionless Japanese Kabuki mask. He got the mask from his mother who surprised him one Halloween with it, which Joey says “scared the shit out of [him]“. Originally the mask was completely blank and white, however towards the end of ’99 his mask was customized to include black markings around his eyes and on his forehead.

#2 – Paul Gray

Bass
During the self titled era Paul wore a customized pig faced latex mask. The mask featured black straps riveted to the top and sides of the mask so it could be strapped to his head. It also featured other minor alterations on occasion including; a ring or padlock through the snout of the mask. However these were only temporary modifications.

#3 – Chris Fehn

Custom Percussion
During the self titled era Chris wore the first variation of his mask that he would continue to use throughout his career. The mask featured a black bondage hood which covered his entire head and a secondary white/gray mask which covered only his face which featured a predominantly large Pinocchio style nose and a large zipper on the mouth area. It also featured a lot of riveting around the zipper and outer area of the mask for the straps and a long stitched area below the nose which stretched across his whole face.

#4 – Jim Root

Guitar
During the self titled era Jim wore a heavily customized latex jester mask. The mask was very worn and had a beaten look to it and featured heavy modifications. Including; a zipper around the mouth area and straps around the outer edges which are riveted to the original latex mask and black, elongated spike on the end of the chin of his mask.

#5 – Craig Jones

Samples/Media
During the self titled era Craig wore a customized black racer’s crash helmet. The helmet featured a large number of nails protruding out of the top and back of the helmet and a large darkened facial area. It also featured other minor alterations including; a flashing light on top of the mask and a plastic tube attached to the mouth area, however these were later removed.

#6 – Shawn Crahan

Custom Percussion
During the self titled era Shawn wore a latex clown mask that covered his whole head. Shawn bought the mask when he was 14 and refers to it as “Dude”. The mask featured exaggerated features like; puffy cheekbones, raised eyebrows and a large mouth. The mask also had bright orange artificial hair around the back and sides, with a bald area on top.
In 2000, he switched to a new mask. This mask was a fullheaded latex mask which had no hair at all. It was more facially realistic than his previous mask and featured a distinctly sinister grin. It again featured raised eyebrows and a red clown nose. During performance Shawn would sometimes drip fake blood over his mask to add to the sinister style of the mask.

#7 – Mick Thomson

Guitar
During the self titled era Mick wore a mask made of a patched, dark, shiny leather material which was riveted together. The mask featured a predominant forehead area and angular shapes around his eyes and nose. The mouth area of the mask featured a series of vertical lines which resembled that of a hockey mask.

#8 – Corey Taylor

Vocals
During the self titled era Corey wore a heavily customized full headed latex mask. The mask was made by turning a latex mask inside out so that it had no expression of facial features. It also featured multiple dreadlocks which were attached to top and back of the mask. Other minor featured include stitches in multiple areas including; near the left eye area, the top of the head and other areas. During the interview on Voliminal: Inside The Nine, Corey explained that during touring in ’99 the mask began to fall apart and he had to use duct tape to hold it together.
IOWA

#0 – Sid Wilson

Turntables
During the Iowa era Sid wore a large latex mask which covered his entire head. The mask featured very large, exaggerated eye and mouth areas. The mask featured minor details like; teeth around the mouth area and cracks around his head among other areas. The overall look of the mask was a unique cross between a skull and a gasmask, there was also a couple of variations in colors of this mask including; a very dark blue/black one and a more flesh colored one.

#1 – Joey Jordison

Drums
During the Iowa era Joey once again wore a customized expressionless Japanese Kabuki mask. However, this time it featured very dark eye and mouth areas to the mask with blood dripping down from the eyes, mouth and top of the mask. Also, throughout that period Joey had his hair dyed red and black which added to the overall look of the mask.

#2 – Paul Gray

Bass
During the Iowa era Paul wore a very dark, thick facial mask which featured pig-like features. The mask has very predominant holes around the eyes, a sloped nose area which resembles a pig’s snout and a large area which covers his mouth. The mask also features large straps on the top and sides of the mask. His mask featured some minor changes cone the band began touring including a few horizontal slices around the mouth area and multiple scratches around the whole facial area of the mask.

#3 – Chris Fehn

Custom Percussion
During the Iowa era Chris wore a more professional looking version of his Pinocchio style mask. The nose of the mask was visibly more stable and longer than the one he wore during the self title era. The overall look of the mask was much cleaner than his previous mask too with defined areas around his eyes and mouth, neater stitching and riveting throughout.

#4 – Jim Root

Guitar
During the Iowa era Jim wore a sinister looking latex jester mask. The eyes areas of the mask were predominantly large, dark and indented from the mask. Features like his cheeks and chin were elongated and exaggerated and the mask had an overall sinister look, the mask was mainly a white/cream color with strong black markings throughout.

#5 – Craig Jones

Samples/Media
During the Iowa era Craig wore a full headed expressionless mask which is made from a thick leather looking material. The mask features a large number of nails protruding from the top, back and sides and a singular subtle vertical crease-like mark going through the middle of the mask. It features dominant facial features and has a zipper on the mouth area which is constantly kept zipped shut, two small circular holes for nostrils and two thin rectangular eye holes.

#6 – Shawn Crahan

Custom Percussion
During the Iowa era Shawn wore a very sinister looking clown style mask. The mask cone again featured predominant facial features including; puffy cheekbones, raised eyebrows and a large mouth area. It also featured predominant scars and markings on the face area including an upside down pentagram and the number “6″ on his forehead. On the top of the mask there is a section of the head missing on the left which reveals an area of the brain. Shawn says it’s to represent him trying to access the creative side of his brain, as the right side of the brain is logic which he says he wishes never existed. Unlike his previous clown mask which featured artificial hair around the back and sides, this mask features the same area cut away so that his own hair can become part of the mask.

#7 – Mick Thomson

Guitar
During the Iowa era Mick wore a slightly altered version of the mask he wore during the self titled era. The mask didn’t change barely in design but the mask is more professionally made and is that of a lighter, more metallic colored material.

#8 – Corey Taylor

Vocals
During the Iowa era Corey wore a full headed expressionless, beaten latex mask. It was very similar to the mask he wore during the self titled era however this mask was thicker and had a very beaten look to it. It once again featured dreadlocks around the top, back and sides, however they were longer than his previous mask and were dyed green. There were a few color variations to his mask including a flesh colored one, a very dark one and a flesh colored one with very darkened eye and mouth areas.
Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)

#0 – Sid Wilson

Turntables
During the Vol. 3 era Sid wore two separate masks. Following the release of the album Sid wore a latex mask which resembled that of a rotten, deteriorated skull with flesh that covered only his face. During this time he had long hair and this became a feature of his mask. The mask was made of two separate parts; the main face area and the lower jaw section, sometimes he would play shows and do photo shoots without the lower jaw. He also used to play around with his death mask on stage, were he would wear it on top his mask and then remove it. In 2005 however he changed his mask to a full headed mask which looked more like a completely decomposed skull. The mask looked very realistic in terms of definition and features of a skull and Sid wore the mask for the rest of the era.

#1 – Joey Jordison

Drums
During the Vol. 3 era Joey wore a latex version of his expressionless Kabuki mask. However this time it featured considerably more defined markings. Including; sunken eye and mouth areas, scratches down his forehead, below his eyes and around his lips and multiple spheres across his eyebrow line. There are a lot of different color variations of the mask including a white mask with read and black marks, a gray mask with dark gray markings and others.

#2 – Paul Gray

Bass
During the Vol. 3 era Paul wore a very thick mask that covered his face. The mask is quite similar to the one he wore during the Iowa era but with a few differences. It’s similar in the way the eyes and nose areas are sunken and expressionless. However two of the key differences are; the mouth area on this mask is quite a large rectangular shape with a large number of metal bars covering his mouth and a bullet shot wound and cracks on the forehead of his mask. There are a few color variations that Paul has wore but the main color is a dark gray/black.

#3 – Chris Fehn

Custom Percussion
During the Vol. 3 era Chris wore a few different variations of the his Pinocchio style mask. Some of the key characteristic changes from his Iowa era mask are that these masks are again a lot more professional and tidy with the edges fitting his face better and the zipper and nose areas attached more cleanly. Predominantly throughout touring he would switch between different colored masks including a fleshy/pale colored one and a red one.

#4 – Jim Root

Guitar
During the Vol. 3 era Jim wore a more refined, realistic looking latex jester mask. One of the biggest changes in Jim’s mask was that this one was a lot more subtle and realistic looking. It looks almsot as if Jim is not wearing a mask but make up. The mask is very realistic in respect to Jim’s facial features and include very realistic looking nose and mouth areas. The mouth of the mask features a zipper which is set behind the black lips of the mask.

#5 – Craig Jones

Samples/Media
During the Vol. 3 era Craig wore a very large full headed mask. Once again, like his Iowa era mask Craig’s mask was a very featureless mask with a zipper mouth, small eye and nostril holes and a large amount of nails protruding from the top, side and back of the mask. One of the biggest differences between this and his previous mask is the size of it, the mask itself is made from visually thicker material and the nails are very noticeably longer than previous. The mask also features a zip at the back of the mask which is used so that Craig can wear it.

#6 – Shawn Crahan

Custom Percussion
During the Vol. 3 era Shawn wore a mask which was made from blood-stained bandages and has a very distinctive red clown nose. The mask evolved considerably from it’s original incarnation. Originally the bandages covered his whole head and there was a swollen area on the right side of his head. While the band toured following the release of the album Shawn began to remove the bandages and towards the end of the era the bandages only covered his face and parts of his head and his hair became a predominant feature of the mask.

#7 – Mick Thomson

Guitar
During the Vol. 3 era Mick wore a very sinister metallic looking leather mask. The mask features predominant marks which make the mask look like it is shaped and/or carved out of metal. The mouth area of the mask features 5 slice-like marks which look like something has cut through the mask. The biggest difference between this and his Iowa era mask is that this appears to be one piece of molded metal where-as the Iowa one looked like a few pieces riveted together.

#8 – Corey Taylor

Vocals
During the Vol. 3 era Corey wore a very damaged and scarred latex mask that covered only his face. The mask features a large amount of scratches, carvings, stitches and staples throughout the mask which has an overall looks of a disfigured, expressionless human face. The mask is a dark green and brown color and features touches of reds and grays. One of the key features of the mask is a large slice across the mouth area which looks as if the jaw of the mask has been ripped off and stitched back together. It was the first mask which Corey wore to not cover his whole head and his hair becomes a key feature to the mask, throughout the era he had multi-colored dyed hair which was; red, blue, purple and black.
All Hope Is Gone



#0 – Sid Wilson

Turntables
Currently Sid wears a futuristic style mask which has a metallic look to it. It has been remarked upon as a clear ode to the popular TV series The Transformers, of which Sid is a huge fan. The mask has an overall look of a robotic human face and has scratches and weathered effects on its surface. It also features mechanically moveable eyebrows, reflective plastic eyes and a hinged jaw section which add to the overall realistic/robot theme.



#1 – Joey Jordison

Drums
Currently Joey’s mask is a latex weathered and beaten version of his Japanese Kabuki mask he his known for. It is a dirty skin colored tone and features dark engravements and marks which also have blood colored stains. The mouth of the mask is stitched up and there are areas which feature staples atop of scars. During photoshoots and (on occasion) during live performances he wears a crown of large thorns on his head and long branch like additions to his hands which add to the beaten, unkept image.



#2 – Paul Gray

Bass
Currently Paul wears a very thick latex mask with deep eye and mouth areas. The mouth area of the mask has a dense amount of metal bars which obscure his mouth. The nose of the mask is almost flush to the rest of the mask and has the characteristics of a pig’s snout with the nostrils appearing face on. There is also a large amount of grazed and scratched areas on the mask and even stitches in some places, making the whole mask look damaged.



#3 – Chris Fehn

Custom Percussion
Chris wears a leather bondage type Pinocchio mask with a nose which is about 7 inches long. His mask is made up of two parts; the first is a black leather hood which covers his entire head and then he wears a mask which only covers his face. The mask features indented eye areas, a zipper over his mouth and includes a large amount of stitches and rivets all over the mask. In 2008 during promotional photoshoots prior the release of All Hope Is Gone, Chris did not wear his black hood under his mask. This made his hair more dominant in relation to his mask however when they began to tour he was once again wearing his black hood under his mask.



#4 – Jim Root

Guitar
Currently Jim wears a very white Jester style latex mask. It features imbedded dark areas around his eyes and zipper between his lips on his mask. The mask is a very realistic looking mask, particularly in his nose and it almost looks like Jim is only wearing make up due to this. The majority of the mask is white and the engraved areas of the mask are completely black with a red outline.



#5 – Craig Jones

Samples/Media
Currently Craig wears a large mask which covers his whole head with very little facial features. There are two small slit eye areas which are generally very dark which obscure his eyes. There are also two small circular holes which represent his nostrils and a zipper over his mouth area which more often than not is zipped closed. All areas of the mask excluding the face have very large nails protruding it which shake about violently when he headbangs.



#6 – Shawn Crahan

Custom Percussion
At the beginning of the AHIG era Shawn wore a patchy leather full headed mask. The majority of the mask is made up of patches of leather stitched together. It features two oval eyes shapes cut out from the leather which have reflective plastic. There is also a large zipper in the mouth area and a round shiny golden clown nose seemingly stitched on to the mask.
However, at the beginning of 2009 Shawn debuted a new mask. The mask covers only his face so that his hair becomes part of the overall look of the mask. It is quite similar in style to their death masks, it looks quite realistic. The mask features a false mouth which is smiling with bright white teeth and red lips. It also features make-up esque painting on the cheeks and around the eyes to add to the realistic look of the mask.



#7 – Mick Thomson

Guitar
Currently Mick’s mask is a metallic looking mask which covers his face. It is the same mask that he had adorned following the release of Vol. 3. The mask features predominant marks which make the mask look like it is shaped and/or carved out of metal. The mouth area of the mask features 5 slice-like marks which look like something has cut through the mask.



#8 – Corey Taylor

Vocals
Currently Corey wears a predominantly featureless mask which covers most of his head, except the very top. The mask lacks any distinctive detail and has a small slit at the bottom of his nose, a cut out area around his mouth and two differently sized eye holes. The left eye of the mask features an additional piece of circular material which restricts the size of the area that Corey can see out of. The eye areas of the mask also feature black mesh which obscures his eyes from view.
