Lacuna Coil
Lacuna Coil is an Italian gothic metal band formed in 1994. Formerly known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal, the band was inspired by the combination of gothic imagery and music, and the members have been known, musically, for composing midtempo songs consisting of guitar lines overlaid with prominent keyboard work, and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic detached sound, heavily emphasized on their 2002 breakthrough album Comalies. Much of the band's recent material, however, sees a heavier and more down-tuned style, featuring a more distinct bass line and a higher mixing of the guitars within the songs.
The band's 2006 release, Karmacode peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200. They have played among the world's biggest heavy metal festivals on the main stage including Ozzfest, Bloodstock Open Air, Wacken Open Air, and played with Megadeth on their Gigantour tour in November 2007.

Beginning - Lacuna Coil EP
Andrea Ferro and Marco Coti Zelati formed Sleep of Right in Milan, Italy, 1995, and recruited Raffaele Zagaria on guitars, and Michaelangelo on the drums. After releasing two demos, Bleeding Souls and Noise of Bolgia, Claudio Leo became the band's second guitarist, and Leonardo Forti replaced Michaelangelo on the drums after his departure. The band asked Cristina Scabbia, a friend, to sing background vocals briefly, which led to her officially joining Sleep of Right.Soon after, the band changed their name to Ethereal, and signed to Century Media at the end of 1997. Finding that the name Ethereal was already taken by a Greek band, they changed their name to Lacuna Coil, which means empty spiral.
Lacuna Coil released a self-titled EP through Century Media in 1998. Shortly after, there came the departure of bandmates Raffael Zagaria, Claudio Leo, and Leonardo Forti. As a result, guitarist Cristiano Migliore and drummer Cristiano Mozzati were recruited officially. At this point, the band was touring with Moonspell after the release of the Lacuna Coil EP.
In a Reverie
Following a second European tour, the band recorded their debut full-length album, In a Reverie, and added second guitarist Marco Biazzi. The band supported the album with another European tour, co-headlining with Skyclad. Allmusic rated the album 4 stars, saying it was "a fine debut by a band that bears watching." The band toured much more, participating in Milan's Rolling Stone venue, as well as a show headlined by a German band.
Halflife EP-Unleashed Memories
Following the debut, In A Reverie, Half-Life was released in 2000 with five songs, entitled "Half Life," "Hyperfast," "Stars," "Trance Awake," and a demo version of a certain future song, "Senzafine." "Senzafine" was added onto the band's next big project: their 2001 album Unleashed Memories. The studio album only had ten songs onto it, but a future release included the five songs from the Halflife EP. Allmusic rated it 3 stars.
Comalies
The band was in for a change for the better when their breakthrough album, Comalies was released in 2002 The beautiful, melodic metal album received acclaim and rave reviews from certain corners of the metal world. Major players in the European metal scene for nearly a decade, the band was virtually unknown in the U.S. until they began touring there. Uranium gave the band some of their earliest US exposure, and over a year later, the first single from Comalies, "Heaven's a Lie," began to receive radio and media attention and pulled the band into the mainstream. Networks such as Fuse played the music video, and the band had made their mark on the U.S. The second single, "Swamped," was played in heavy rotation and used in the video game Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and also appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Music videos were filmed for both songs and broadcast on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball, which also had the band perform a live, acoustic rendition of "Heaven's a Lie."
By 2004, Comalies had become the best-selling CD in Century Media's history. The band appeared at Ozzfest in between headlining club tours in America and Europe.
A bonus, extended version of Comalies was released both in stores and on iTunes. This version consisted of live and acoustic versions of the songs "Heaven's A Lie," "Swamped," "Unspoken," "Aeon," and "Senzafine" from Unleashed Memories.
Karmacode
In an effort to best take advantage of Lacuna Coil's ascendant popularity, the band and label postponed the release of their highly-anticipated follow up to Comalies, Karmacode, to early 2006. According to the band's website, this made it possible for more time to be spent on production while also avoiding the crowded summer 2005 release schedule for metal albums. On December 23, 2005 the band announced via their official web site that all recording, mixing, and mastering had been finished and that Karmacode was complete. It was then announced that Karmacode would be released in the USA on April 4, 2006. "Our Truth" was the first single (and video) and is featured on the soundtrack of the movie Underworld: Evolution January 10, 2006. The video also had rotation on MTV.
During their 2005 European Tour, Lacuna Coil performed two new songs (working titles "A2" and "Antonio") at selected concerts. "Our Truth" was referred to at the time as "Antonio", while the song "A2" was renamed to "Fragile", and is the opening track on Karmacode.
Karmacode debuted at #28 on the Billboard Charts. It received critical acclaim from music critics and magazines. Corresponding with the release of the new album, Lacuna Coil went on tour with Rob Zombie throughout North America in early 2006 also making an appearance at Ozzfest 2006 on the main stage. The band also played at the 2006 Download Festival, a three-day festival in England's Donington Park which was headlined by Metallica, Tool, and Guns N' Roses. They also played one night in the UK at Sheffield Corporation on October 17, 2006. December, Lacuna Coil teamed up with In Flames, The Sword and Seemless for a US Tour, as well as The Blackest of the Black 2006 Tour with headlining act Danzig, and bands like Asesino, Belphegor, and The Haunted.
Four singles were officially released from Karmacode: "Our Truth," "Closer," "Within Me," and "Enjoy the Silence."
In March 2007, Lacuna Coil joined Stone Sour and Shadows Fall on the Jägermeister Music Tour. In May, they toured the US with Within Temptation and The Gathering on the The Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour 2007.
Departing from the original tour dates, Lacuna Coil made a stop in Raleigh, North Carolina in early April to play with area bands Wounded Soul, Blatant Disarray, and Shadows Fall. They again departed from the tour schedule in Albuquerque, New Mexico in late April and played at the Sunshine Theater there with Stolen Babies, Beneath the Sky, and Shadows Fall.
In October 2007 Lacuna Coil played for the first time in their career in Japan during the Loudpark Festival 07 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City. In November 2007 they joined with Megadeth, DevilDriver, Static-X and Bring Me the Horizon for the Australian Gigantour.
Live DVD
Their first ever live DVD wil be released on November 2008, entitled Visual Karma (Body, Mind and Soul). The CD/DVD will be a retrospective of all things from the band’s “Karmacode” album cycle, the set features concerts filmed at Germany's Wacken Festival and at the Japanese Loudpark Festival on 2007.

Chris Fehn (English)
Christopher Michael Fehn (born February 24, 1972), also known simply as Chris, or by his number #3, is an American musician known as one of the two custom percussionists of Slipknot.

| Website | http://www.slipknot1.com |
Personal life and career
Fehn was born in Ankeny, Iowa. Prior to joining Slipknot, he played as a kicker on a college football team. Fehn joined the band around April 1997, replacing percussionist Greg Welts, who was forced out of Slipknot after the band due to personal conflicts with drummer Joey Jordison.
As well as lending his percussion talents to the band, Fehn has also sung backing vocals on a number of songs Slipknot has both recorded and performed live. Outside Slipknot, Fehn is a very keen golfer, and evidences this on the band's 2006 DVD, Voliminal: Inside the Nine, where he is interviewed while playing golf.
Fehn describes himself as a "big fan of the band" and says of Slipknot, "the world needed something like this."
Masks
Fehn uses a Tengu-style mask, which has been seen in many different colors and styles with the nose of the mask always staying at 71⁄2 inches (about 19 cm) long. He is known to own at least five variations of the mask, his best-known being the tanned, leather mask used during the Iowa era. Another well known mask of Fehn's is the red mask used mainly during the Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses) World Tour. He briefly used a white mask during the band's Slipknot era, and can be seen wearing it in the album's cover art.
Fehn's mask design is most likely based on those worn by doctors during the Black Plague, where the nose was filled with herbs to 'protect' the doctor from inhaling the fumes of death. Another widely discussed influence is the possibility of the mask being based on that which was adorned by Alex and his "droogs" during the rape scene in the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.
A third idea of the origin of the mask also comes from Commedia dell'arte, an Italian comedy which held its popularity through the 15th and 18th centuries. In particular Chris' mask resembles a version of Pantalone's phallic-nosed mask.
And a fourth idea of the Origin of the Mask is Pinocchio character
Backstage at Slipknot's second Ozzfest show, Fehn expanded on the mask to a local interviewer, saying, "This mask reflects my comic personality. Plus I chose it for the bondage factor. When you put it on, it takes you to another place. It's very hot, it's very tight, and it hurts – that goes along with the aggression we create." In a more recent interview in London, Fehn claimed that, "The smell gets worse, it smells like puke, sweat, and piss."
The mask resembles the masks of the Menos Grande from Bleach (manga).
Equipment
Fehn uses custom titanium drums that were welded by fellow Slipknot percussionist Shawn Crahan. His drums have the same set-up as those of Crahan. The only difference between Fehn and Crahan's sets are that Crahan normally has a scissor lift on his set which goes high into the air and rotates, whereas Fehn's drums can rotate between 90° and are also able to tilt in numerous directions. Fehn prefers not to use the scissor lift due to his fear of heights, and he uses a different set of drumsticks for a distinguishable sound between the two drummers: .

Gereja Setan
Gereja Setan (Bahasa Inggris: Church of Satan), seperti yang diungkapkan pada buku The Satanic Bible yang ditulis pada tahun 1969 oleh Anton LaVey, adalah sebuah organisasi yang berdedikasi pada penerimaan jasmaniah manusia (Man's carnal self).
Sejarah
Gereja Setan didirikan di San Fransisco, California, pada malam Walpurgis 30 April 1966 oleh Anton Szandor LaVey. Anton LaVey menjadi Pendeta Tinggi gereja ini sampai kematiannya pada tahun 1997.
Pada tahun 1950-an, Anton LaVey membentuk sebuah kelompok yang dinamakan The Order of the Trapezoid, yang kemudian berubah menjadi badan pengurus Gereja Setan. Orang-orang yang terlibat dalam aktivitas LaVey meliputi Carin de Plessen (yang tumbuh di Istana Kerajaan Denmark), Dr. Cecil Nixon (ahli sulap, eksentris, and penemu automaton), sutradara Kenneth Anger, Asesor kota Russell Wolden, Donald Werby, antropolog Michael Harner, dan penulis Shana Alexander. Kolega LaVey lainnya pada saat itu meliputi penulis fiksi horor dan fiksi ilmiah Anthony Boucher, August Derleth, Robert Barbour Johnson, Reginald Bretnor, Emil Petaja, Stuart Palmer, Clark Ashton Smith, Forrest J. Ackerman, dan Fritz Leiber Jr.
Pada tahun pertama pembentukannya, Anton LaVey dan Gereja Setan mendapatkan perhatian media yang besar dengan secara publik melakukan upacara pernikahan Setan antara Judith Case dengan wartawan radikal John Raymond. Upacara pernikahan ini difoto oleh Joe Rosenthal, yang terkenal oleh fotonya Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima selama Perang Dunia II. Acara lainnya yang juga menarik perhatian adalah upacara pemakaman anggota Gereja Setan, Edward Olson yang juga merupakan perwira Angkatan Laut oleh permintaan istrinya.
Gereja Setan disebut-sebut dalam banyak buka dan merupakan topik artikel majalah dan surat kabar semasa tahun 1960-an dan 1970-an. Ia juga merupakan subjek utama film dokumenter Satanis (1970). LaVey juga muncul dalam film Kenneth Anger, Invocation of my Demon Brother, dan berperan sebagai penasehat teknis dalam film The Devil's Rain (dibintangi oleh Ernest Borgnine, William Shatner, dan John Travolta).
Pada tahun 1975, LaVey menciptakan kontroversi dalam Gereja Setan itu sendiri dengan menghilangkan sistem "Grotto" Gereja dan mengeluarkan orang-orang yang dia anggap menggunakan Gereja ini sebagai prestasi di dunia luar. Pada saat yang sama, LaVey menjadi lebih selektif dalam menerima wawancara. Aktivitas yang "tertutup" ini kemudian menyebabkan rumor bahwa Gereja ini telah tutup atau LaVey telah mati.
Pada tahun 1980-an, umat Kristen, para ahli terapi yang terspesialisasi dalam pemulihan ingatan, dan media massa mengungkit-ungkit kembali konspirasi kejahatan yang berhubungan dengan Gereja Setan. Anggota-anggota Gereja Setan seperti Peter H. Gilmore, Peggy Nadramia, Boyd Rice, Adam Parfrey, Diabolos Rex, danKing Diamond, aktif dalam media massa untuk membantah tuduhan atas aktivitas kriminal tersebut. FBI kemudian mengeluarkan laporan resmi yang membantah teori konspirasi kriminal itu. Fenomena ini kemudian dikenal sebagai “The Satanic Panic”.
Pada tahun 1980-an dan 1990-an, Gereja Setan dan para anggotanya sangat aktif dalam memproduksi film-film, musik, dan majalah-majalah yang berhubungan dengan Setanisme.
Setelah kematian Anton Szandor LaVey, posisinya sebagai kepala Gereja Setan diteruskan oleh istrinya, Blanche Barton. Barton tetap terlibat dalam aktivitas Gereja ini; namun pada tahun 2001 ia menyerahkan posisinya kepada Peter H. Gilmore dan Peggy Nadramia. Kantor pusat Gereja Setan juga dipindahkan dari San Fransisco ke New York City. Gereja Setan tidak mengakui organisasi-organisasi lainnya sebagai pemegang sah setanisme, namun mengakui bahwa seseorang tidaklah harus menjadi anggota Gereja Setan untuk menjadi seorang Satanis.
Banyak figur-figur publik yang secara publik menjadi anggota Gereja Setan, meliputi Kenneth Anger, King Diamond, Teresa Hidy, David Vincent, Marilyn Manson, Aaron Joehlin, Boyd Rice, Marc Almond, gitaris Alkaline Trio Matt Skiba dan drummer Derek Grant, pegulat profesional Balls Mahoney, Sterling James Keenan, jurnalis Michael Moynihan, pianis Liberace, gitaris Matthew McRaith, dan Sammy Davis Jr. and the artist Coop. Oleh karena Gereja Setan tidak pernah membeberkan informasi keanggotaannya secara publik, tidak diketahui berapa banyak anggota Gereja ini.
Pada Oktober 2004, Angkatan Laut Britania Raya secara resmi mengakui pendaftaran anggota angkatannya sebagai seorang Satanis.
Setanisme
Setanisme secara singkat dapat diartikan sebagai penyembahan setan dan menjadikannya sebagai tuhan. Selain menolak Allah, semua agama dan nilai keagamaan, gerakan jahat ini memiliki ajaran melaksanakan hal-hal yang oleh agama dianggap berdosa. Setanisme juga menerima setan, lambang kejahatan, sebagai pemimpin dan pembimbing.
Sejarah Satanisme
Kaum Setanis, yakni para pengikut ajaran setanisme, sudah ada dan melaksanakan kegiatan keji mereka di setiap tahap sejarah dan dalam setiap peradaban, dari Mesir kuno sampai Yunani kuno, serta sejak Abad Pertengahan sampai hari ini. Di antara abad ke-14 dan ke-16, para tukang sihir dan orang yang menolak agama sama-sama memuja setan. Setelah tahun 1880-an, di Prancis, Inggris, Jerman, dan sekaligus di berbagai negara lain di Eropa dan Amerika, Setanisme diatur dalam perkumpulan dan tersebar di kalangan orang yang mencari keyakinan dan agama lain.
Penyembahan setan terus berlanjut sejak abad ke-19, mula-mula sebagai Setanisme tradisional, lalu dalam aliran sesat yang lebih kecil yang merupakan pecahannya. Upacara kejam yang dilakukan oleh tukang sihir dan orang-orang tak bertuhan, pengorbanan anak dan orang dewasa kepada setan, perayaan Misa Hitam dan upacara Setanisme tradisional lainnya telah diwariskan diam-diam secara turun temurun.
Lambang Setanisme tradisional yang terpenting adalah dewa Romawi kuno Baphomet. Pada waktu itu, Baphomet menjadi lambang bagi orang yang memuja setan. Para ahli sejarah yang menelusuri asal-usul sosok berkepala kambing ini telah menemukan beberapa petunjuk penting tentang kegiatan Setanis. Lambang Setanis terpenting kedua adalah pentagram, yaitu bintang bersegi lima di dalam lingkaran. Yang menarik, ada dua perkumpulan rahasia lainnya di samping para Setanis yang menggunakan Baphomet dan pentagram sebagai lambang. Yang pertama adalah perkumpulan Kesatria Biara Yerusalem (Knight Templars), yaitu perkumpulan yang dituduh oleh Gereja Katolik sebagai penyembah setan, dan dibubarkan pada tahun 1311. Perkumpulan lainnya adalah perkumpulan Mason yang telah bertahun-tahun lamanya menimbulkan rasa penasaran karena kerahasiaan dan upacaranya yang aneh.
Banyak ahli sejarah, yang telah menyelidiki masalah itu, percaya bahwa terdapat hubungan antara Kesatria Biara Yerusalem dengan perkumpulan Mason. Menurut mereka, kedua kelompok itu saling melanjutkan satu sama lain. Sesudah Kesatria Biara Yerusalem dilarang oleh Gereja, perkumpulan itu melanjutkan keberadaannya secara rahasia dan akhirnya berubah menjadi paham Mason. Yang pasti tentang Freemasonry adalah, perkumpulan ini bersifat amat rahasia, punya susunan organisasi, dengan anggota di seluruh pelosok dunia. Uraian yang diberikan para ahli seperti Leo Taxil, yang pernah menjadi seorang Mason, namun telah keluar dari perkumpulan itu, mengatakan bahwa para Mason amat menghormati Baphomet dan melangsungkan upacara yang menyerupai tata-cara penyembahan setan. Kenyataan lain yang menimbulkan kecurigaan adalah bahwa banyak pengikut Setanisme yang kemudian menjadi anggota organisasi Masonis.
Kini, Setanisme telah meninggalkan upacara dan markasnya yang rahasia itu, untuk keluar ke jalan-jalan. Para Setanis bergiat di setiap negara untuk menyebarkan ajarannya dengan gigih dalam buku-buku, terbitan berkala, dan terutama di Internet dalam usaha mereka menarik anggota. Tak peduli di negara mana pun mereka berada, para Setanis menampilkan citra yang sama. Cara berpakaian, tata cara penyembahan, kesamaan surat yang mereka tinggalkan sebelum melakukan bunuh diri dan ciri lainnya menunjukkan bahwa Setanisme bukanlah gerakan biasa yang dipenuhi para penganggur, melainkan sebuah organisasi yang sengaja bersandar pada landasan pemikiran.
Setanisme dan Materialisme
Suatu ciri kaum Setanis masa kini adalah, mereka semua atHeis (tidak mengakui Tuhan). Mereka juga sekaligus kaum materialis, artinya, mereka hanya percaya kepada keberadaan benda belaka. Mereka mengingkari adanya Tuhan dan semua makhluk gaib. Oleh karena itu, kaum Setanis tidak percaya kepada setan sebagai makhluk yang nyata. Meskipun disebut sebagai penyembah setan, mereka tidak mengakui adanya setan. Bagi kaum Setanis, setan hanyalah lambang yang menyatakan permusuhan mereka terhadap agama dan kekerasan hati mereka. Dalam sebuah tulisan yang berjudul “Pengantar Setanisme” yang diterbitkan Gereja Setan, dinyatakan bahwa para Setanis sebenarnya adalah ateis:
Setanisme adalah sebuah agama yang tak mengenal Tuhan dan menganut paham tidak ada yang perlu ditakuti selain akibat tindakan kita. Kaum Setanis tidak percaya adanya Allah, malaikat, surga atau neraka, iblis, setan, ruh jahat, ruh baik, peri, atau makhluk gaib yang jahat. …Setanisme bersifat ateis …Otodeis: kami menyembah diri kami sendiri. …Setanisme adalah materialis … Setanisme adalah lawan agama. (Vexen Crabtree, “A Description of Satanisme”)
Singkatnya, ini adalah hasil filsafat kebendaan dan tak mengenal Tuhan yang telah tersebar sejak abad ke-19. Seperti filsafat ini, Setanisme menyandarkan diri pada teori yang dianggap ilmiah: Teori Evolusi Darwin. (harunyahya) KKSK 4 ever...zzz
Musik dan Film Satanisme.
Satanisme muncul dalam banyak hal salah satunya adalah film dan musik. Banyak film yang menceritakan dengan terbuka idiom satanisme serta kisah kuasa gelap (dark forces). Film populer seperti : Friday The 13th, The Crow, Devils Advocate, Interview With The Vampire, bahkan serial The X-Files mengandung alur cerita dimana setan, satanisme atau black magic menjadi bagian penting dari film. Konon tahun 1968, Anton Szandor La Vey pernah menjadi penasehat teknis sekaligus pemeran film Rosemarys Baby, film Omen 1976 disebut telah mempopulerkan satanisme.
Dalam musik ada banyak sekali contoh musik yang berisi satanisme, contoh :
- Lagu dari Ozzy Osbourne “Anggur baik tapi Wiski lebih cepat, bunuh dirilah satu-satunya jalan keluar”
- Lagu dari David Bowie (majalah Rolling Stone) mengatakan Rock akan selalu menjadi musik setan
- Lagu dari Stairway to Heaven jika di putar terbalik akan memunculkan syair pemujaan setan.
- Lagu dari Metallica dalam The Prince melantunkan Bida.dari dari bawah, Aku ingin menjual jiwaku. Setan ambil jiwaku.
- Pink Floyd menulis lagu Lucifer Sam dengan lirik : Lucifer Sam selalu duduk di sisimu..selalu dekat denganmu.
- Thn 1992, Red Hot Chilli Peppers saat penerimaan anugreah MTV Awards berucap. Pertama-tama kami ingin berterima kasih pada Setan.
- Marilyin Manson, salah satu umat GS pada majalah Spin edisi Agustus 1996. Saya berharap dikenang sebagai sosok yang mengakhiri sejarah Kekristenan, Manson tak ragu merobek Injil dan meneriakkan penghinaan terhadap Yesus Kristus.
Di Indonesia : - Group Black Metal(4 tahunlalu) Sebelum naik panggung, mereka menyembelih marmut hidup dan meminum darahnya, kadang mereka membawa salib terbalik ke atas panggung.
Anarko-Komunisme
Anarko-Komunisme adalah suatu bentuk dari anarkisme yang mengajarkan penghapusan negara (atau institusi kenegaraan) dan faham kapitalisme, untuk sebuah jaringan asosiasi sukarela di mana semua orang bebas untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya.
Anarko-Komunisme juga dikenal dengan sebutan anarkis komunisme, komunis anarkisme, anarkisme-komunis ataupun komunisme libertarian. Namun, walaupun semua anarkis komunis adalah komunis libertarian, tetapi tidak semua komunis libertarian adalah anarkis (menganut faham anarkisme), misalnya dewan komunis. hal yang membedakan anarko-komunisme dari varian lain dari libertarian komunisme adalah bentuk oposisinya terhadap segala bentuk kekuasaan politik, hirarki dan dominasi. Komunisme bisa tumbuh subur dinegara - negara miskin maupun negara berkembang, namun dengan runtuhnya negara-negara komunis yang kuat menyebabkan faham-faham komunis inipun tidak akan bisa berkembang menjadi besar.
Internasionale Pertama
Kelompok anarkisme-komunis pertama kali diformulasikan oleh Carlo Cafiero, Errico Malatesta dan Andrea Costa dari kelompok federasi Italia pada Internasionale I. Pada awalnya kelompok ini (kemudian diikuti oleh anarkis yang lain setelah kematian Bakunin seperti Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman, dan Peter Kropotkin) bergabung dengan Bakunin menentang kelompok Marxis dalam Internasionale I.
Berbeda dengan anarkisme-kolektif yang masih mempertahankan upah buruh berdasarkan kontribusi mereka terhadap produksi, anarkisme-komunis memandang bahwa setiap individu seharusnya bebas memperoleh bagian dari suatu hak milik dalam proses produksi berdasarkan kebutuhan mereka.
Prinsip dasar
Kelompok anarkisme-komunis menekankan pada egalitarianisme (persamaan), penghapusan hirarki sosial (social hierarchy), penghapusan perbedaan kelas, distribusi kesejahteraan yang merata, penghilangan kapitalisme, serta produksi kolektif berdasarkan kesukarelaan. Negara dan hak milik pribadi adalah hal-hal yang tidak seharusnya eksis dalam anarkisme-komunis. Setiap orang dan kelompok berhak dan bebas untuk berkontribusi pada produksi dan juga untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya berdasarkan pilihannya sendiri.
Salah satu hal yang membedakan antara anarkisme-kolektif dengan anarkisme-komunis adalah pandangan mengenai gaji dan upah pekerja. Anarkisme-komunis berpendapat bahwa tidak ada satu carapun yang dapat mengukur kontribusi seseorang terhadap proses produksi dan ekonomi karena kesejahteraan adalah hasil dari produksi bersama. Sistem ekonomi yang berdasarkan gaji/upah pekerja dan hak milik adalah bentuk penyiksaan negara dan aparaturnya dengan tujuan untuk mempertahankan hak milik pribadi dan juga ketidakseimbangan hubungan ekonomi diantara para pelaku produksi. Selain itu, anarkisme-komunis menolak sistem gaji/upah pekerja dengan dasar filosofi bahwa pada hakikatnya manusia itu "malas" dan "egois". Anarkisme-komunis juga mendukung komunisme (dalam sistem pemikiran Marxisme) dengan penekanan pada penjaminan kebebasan dan juga kesejahteraan bagi setiap orang, dan tidak mendukung komunisme dalam hal yang berhubungan dengan kekuasaan. Hal inilah yang membuat anarkisme-komunis sering disamakan dengan filsafat egalitarian.

Jim Root (English)
James D. Root (born October 2, 1971), also known as Jim Root, or by his number #4, is an American musician known for being one of the guitarists for Slipknot, and the Lead guitarist for Stone Sour. He was the last member to join the current line-up of Slipknot, in January 1999.
Personal life and career
Root was born in Des Moines, Iowa. He has performed in bands such as Anal Blast, Atomic Opera, Deadfront and Stone Sour; the latter which he joined in 1995, and returned to along with vocalist Corey Taylor, during its revival in 2002. Prior to joining Slipknot, he worked as a screenprinter, waiter, and busboy. Root joined the band in January 1999, replacing their original guitarist, Josh Brainard, who left the band during the recording of their self-titled album, reportedly after having fulfilled his recording duties. In fact, the only song Root recorded during the album's sessions was "Purity", which is only featured on the short-lived first pressing of Slipknot. Despite this, the song has become a staple for the band's live performances. Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor invited Root to join the band based on Taylor's past experiences working with him in Stone Sour, before leaving the band to join Slipknot.
As well as lending his guitar talents to Stone Sour, Root has also performed drums on one song the band has recorded, the Come What(ever) May bonus track "The Day I Let Go". Outside Slipknot and Stone Sour, Root has appeared on Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson's DJ Starscream album The New Leader and John 5's The Devil Knows My Name, and also appeared on the Roadrunner United project, performing the solo and harmony guitars on "Tired 'N Lonely" from the project's album The All-Star Sessions. He also appeared on Jonathan Davis and the SFA´s cover of Lil Wayne´s "Got Money".
Root has been dating Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia since 2004, when they met during the Ozzfest tour taking place that year.
Masks
Root originally used a bondage hood, inherited from Slipknot's original guitarist Josh Brainard following his departure from the band. He had pink hair at the time and would pull parts of it through a hole in the top of the mask. After a couple of performances and one photo shoot, he decided to change masks, as the bondage hood was too uncomfortable and would often distract him when playing. He then began using a jester-style mask, said to represent that side of his personality. His most recent variation of the mask remains jester-styled, but has black diamond detailing around its eyes, and a zipper in between its lips.
Mick Thompson (English)
Mickael Gordon Thomson (born November 3, 1973), also known simply as Mick, or by his number #7, is an American musician known as one of the guitarists for Slipknot.
Personal life and career
Thomson was born in Des Moines, Iowa. In his youth, he performed in bands such as Body Pit. Thomson joined Slipknot in 1996, replacing the band's guitarist, Craig Jones, who then begun to assume his role as their sampler. He employs alternate picking, drop tuning, and six string sweep arpeggios into his guitar technique.
Thomson expresses his pseudonym as #7 more than most members of Slipknot. For example, as well as being credited with the number in the liner notes of albums he has recorded, he also has the word "seven" tattooed on his left arm, and features the number "7" on the designs of at least three guitar models he has used. Outside Slipknot, Thomson has taught guitar lessons at Ye Old Guitar Shoppe, a local music shop in Des Moines, and has appeared on Malevolent Creation's album Doomsday X. He also made a guest appearance in the music video for Lupara's "No Pity on the Ants".
According to Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor, Thomson is an avid fisherman, and has a fascination with serial killers. On the topic of the latter, Thomson himself has stated, "If I were a famous killer, I'd take some of the finer points of quite a few of them - Albert Fish and Ed Gein spring to mind. But I'm not a violent person by nature. Don't fuck with me, and you'll be fine."
Mick has a number of tattoos on his body: he has the word "嫌惡" on his right arm (which means "disgust", "detest" etc in mandarin and "hate" in Japanese), the word "Seven" on his left fore arm, a "Morbid Angel" on his shoulder, an inverted cross on his upper back, "Slipknot" going down his right calf, and the zodiac sign for scorpio on his left calf.
Equipment
MICK THOMSON SIGNATURE GUITARS
Thomson was endorsed by B.C. Rich until 2004, and designed a signature model with this company based on their Warlock model. He has since made a switch to Ibanez, with whom he designed his own Ibanez MTM1 and MTM2 Signature Models.

Sid Wilson (English)
Sidney George Wilson (born January 20th, 1978) also known simply as Sid, or by his number #0 and DJ Starscream, is an American musician most widely known as the turntablist of Slipknot.
Personal life and career
Sid Wilson was born in Des Moines, notably with polydactyly, a congenital disorder that caused him to be born with an extra digit on both hands. These extra digits were removed shortly after birth, however. He performs in Slipknot, and as well tours as DJ Starscream, a name which derived from the Transformers character of the same name. He is a fan of the Transformers franchise, and even evidences this with the tattoos of the series' most prominent factions, the Autobots and Decepticons, on the back of his hands.
Wilson is notorious for his on-stage antics while performing with Slipknot. He has been known to initiate fights during shows with percussionist Shawn Crahan, to jump into the crowd and to set himself on fire. In his interview on the band's 2006 DVD, Voliminal: Inside the Nine, he stated that in the future he would cease these stunts for fear of being arrested and charged with attempted suicide for his human inferno act, and that, "When it comes to jumping off stages, there have been too many close calls." During the first show of the 2008 Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival in Auburn, WA he jumped from a piece of stage equipment and broke both of his heels.
Wilson's new mask is known to have its eyebrows and mouth move in a mechanical fashion along with antennas at the top of the mask which also move, during interviews and live shows.

Joey Jordison (English)
Nathan Jonas "Joey" Jordison (born April 26, 1975), is an American musician, songwriter, and record producer. He is a co-founder and the primary drummer for the Grammy Award winning band Slipknot and the guitarist for the horror punk band Murderdolls.
While growing up in Des Moines, Iowa, Jordison quickly developed an interest in music; learning to play the guitar and drums. Jordison joined multiple bands throughout his high school years, which led to him be invited to join The Pale Ones, at age 20. Jordison immediately embraced the idea and quickly became involved in all aspects of the band, which evolved into Slipknot. Jordison's dedication to music led to performances and work with many other bands over his career, including Metallica, Korn, Ministry, Satyricon, OTEP, Marilyn Manson, and 3 Inches of Blood.
Biography
Early life
Jordison was born at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa on April 26, 1975. He grew up in a rural area outside of Waukee. He embraced music at an early age, attributing it to the influence of his parents, "they always sat me down in front of the radio, rather than the TV." He started his first band while in elementary school. He played guitar until receiving his first drum kit as a gift from his parents at age eight. At a young age, Jordison's parents divorced, he and his two younger sisters stayed with their mother. His mother remarried and set up a funeral parlor, where Jordison would occasionally help. Jordison has stated he felt a sudden responsibility to be the man of the house, and this responsibility turned him into a more mature person at a young age.
Jordison did not enjoy his time at school, admitting, "I was really introverted and didn't have many friends." His grades suffered due to his focus on music. Despite being involved in multiple projects, he did not have his first serious band until he was 15; he formed Modifidious, in which he played drums, he later described them as "total speed-metal thrash". The band helped Jordison break new ground, playing for live crowds in support of local bands including Atomic Opera who featured Jim Root and Heads On The Wall, which featured Shawn Crahan. After a multitude of line-up changes, including the presence of Craig Jones and Josh Brainard — who would later appear in Slipknot — the band released two demos: Visceral and Mud Fuchia in 1993.
After leaving school he was hired by a local music store called Musicland. However, in March 1994, after a recommendation from a friend, he got a job at a Sinclair garage in Urbandale working the night shift. Jordison preferred the night shift, because it left his weekends free and he could hang out with his friends and listen to music while working. In early 1995, Modifidious disbanded due to a lack of interest, owed to the shift in interest from thrash metal to death metal in America. Following this Jordison joined a local band called The Rejects as a guitarist, with whom he only played a couple of shows. Jordison was also involved in a band called Anal Blast with Paul Gray; however, this was formed partly as a joke. Gray also attempted to recruit him for another band, Body Pit, but he declined the invitation to remain in The Rejects.
Slipknot
In September 1995, Paul Gray approached Jordison while he was working, offering him a position in a new project called The Pale Ones. Intrigued and at a point where he was "lost", Jordison attended rehearsals at Anders Colsefini's basement and immediately wanted to be part of this new band. Speaking of this moment he said, "I remember trying so hard not to smile, so I didn't look like I wanted to join, I remained poker-faced, but I thought they ruled." A lot of Slipknot's early development was discussed by band members while Jordison worked night shifts at Sinclair's garage. He is considered one of the most dedicated members of the band and is involved in most elements of the band including writing, mixing and production, and is reportedly "the first to arrive and the last to leave." Each member of Slipknot is assigned a number; Joey was assigned "#1". Although Jordison has always been closely involved in almost every aspect of the creation of Slipknot and the Murderdoll's music, including the mixing and production stages, he has only fully produced one album from either band; with Slipknot's 2005 live album 9.0: Live.
Murderdolls
While touring Ozzfest in 2001 — while supporting Slipknot's album Iowa — Jordison met Tripp Eisen, then of Static-X, and the two discussed forming a side project. In 2002, Jordison revived his band The Rejects, renaming them the Murderdolls. Jordison became the Murderdoll's guitarist and he contacted Wednesday 13, of Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, to play bass. Wednesday would eventually move to vocalist, while Ben Graves, Eric Griffin, and Acey Slade completed the band's lineup. The band signed with Roadrunner Records and released an EP entitled Right to Remain Violent. The Murderdolls would return in August 2002 with their debut album Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls.[12] The band uses horror films, including Friday the 13th and Night of the Living Dead, as an inspiration of their lyrics. On October 30, 2002, the Murderdolls made an appearance on an episode of Dawson's Creek entitled "Living Dead Girl".
Other musical endeavours
In 2001, Jordison worked on a remix of "The Fight Song" by Marilyn Manson, he also appeared in the music video for Manson's cover of "Tainted Love". Later in the year Manson revealed that Jordison had been working with him on his new album The Golden Age of Grotesque, Jordison worked with him on guitars however, the track did not appear on the album. In 2004, Jordison appeared on OTEP's album House of Secrets, drumming on six tracks for the album. In 2008, Jordison appeared on Puscifer's album "V" Is for Viagra. The Remixes, with a remix of the track "Drunk With Power".
Jordison has performed with other bands, solely as a touring member. While preparing for the Download Festival in 2004, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich was hospitalized for a mysterious illness. Metallica's vocalist James Hetfield searched for volunteers to replace Ulrich; Jordison had already performed with Slipknot earlier that evening, however he and Dave Lombardo of Slayer volunteered. Jordison performed on 10 of the 13 songs that made up the set and was called their "hero of the day". In late 2004, Jordison performed with Satyricon on their tour of the United States when drummer Frost was refused entry in to the country. However the tour was cut short after guitarists Steinar Gundersen and Arnt Gronbech — who were also only touring members — were charged after sexually assaulting a fan in Toronto. In 2006, Jordison joined Ministry for their "MasterBaTour 2006" which consisted of 60 dates across the United States and Canada. He also appeared in the music video for their single "Lies Lies Lies". Korn recruited Jordison in 2007 to join them on tour when drummer David Silveria went on hiatus from the band. He also appeared in the music video for Korn's single "Evolution".
In August 2004, Jordison became involved in Roadrunner United, a celebration of Roadrunner Records' 25th anniversary. As one of four "team captains" who wrote and produced material for the album, he also performed the drum tracks for six songs and bass guitar for three. Jordison said of the experience, "I thought it was a great idea and was really excited about it, because it was a chance to work with a lot of artists that I really respected while I was growing up." In 2007, 3 Inches of Blood recruited Jordison to produce their album Fire Up the Blades. Jordison is a fan of the band and when he heard that Roadrunner wanted to have some demos produced he said; "I was the first one to jump at it, I'm like; 'I want this fucking band'." From these demos the label commissioned a record, vocalist Jamie Hopper said of Jordison; "he's an amazing producer".
