"The Nameless" comes from Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), Slipknot's third studio album, released in 2004 with Rick Rubin producing and Greg Fidelman recording and mixing, and it shows the band swinging the wrecking ball with real control. It starts on a high guitar figure threaded with samples that steps steadily downward until Corey Taylor tears in with a scream, then drops into low, minor-key riffing and thrash bursts, with softer interludes letting the pressure out and a slow, heavy-hearted chorus built for a whole arena. Like plenty of the band's catalogue, it sits in B minor.
It got a second life as a live single from 9.0: Live, the band's first live album. Shawn Crahan directed a late-2005 video cut from shows on The Subliminal Verses World Tour and shots of the fans, and it reached number two on MTV's Rock Top 10.
