Wilson era conhecido como No. 0 e atuou como tecladista e turntablista, ingressando no grupo em 1998, pouco antes de o grupo, fundado em Iowa, alcançar o sucesso mainstream com seu álbum de estreia homônimo.
His departure is one of many the band have seen in recent years. In 2019, Slipknot announced they were parting ways with Chris Fehn amid the longtime percussionist’s lawsuit against the band, after he alleged that he had not been properly paid for over twenty years of recording with them.

It’s to celebrate imperfection, people making real art out of the mess in a world that rewards fake.”.
