Slipknot's 10th Mask
MTV reports: Nine new masks apparently weren't enough for Slipknot. A 10th was created for the band's latest "member": its fans. 

The cover of Slipknot's forthcoming album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), shows this new mask, created by the band's visual and conceptual mastermind, Clown.

Upon its completion, the mask will be available at Slipknot shows, potentially providing the performing band with a view of a sea of homogenous maggots, as Slipknot fans are called. [see full story for more and a peak at the cover art]- Click Here for the Full Story
