Twiztid is an American hip hop duo from Detroit, Michigan, known for both their horror-themed lyrics and rock-influenced sound.^[1] Formed in 1997, Twiztid is composed of rappers Jamie "Madrox" Spaniolo and Paul "Monoxide" Methric. Spaniolo and Methric are also members of the group House of Krazees with Bryan "The R.O.C." Jones, which formed in 1992.

Twiztid was signed with Psychopathic Records from 1997 to 2012. They released their debut album, Mostasteless, in 1998. In addition to the duo's involvement in side projects such as Psychopathic Rydas and Dark Lotus, the releases of Freek Show (2000), Mirror Mirror (2002), and The Green Book (2003) established Twiztid within the horrorcore subgenre and juggalo fanbase.^[2] After two solo albums (one each by Methric and Spaniolo) and three Twiztid albums from 2004 to 2007, the duo released their most commercially successful album in 2009, W.I.C.K.E.D., which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart (the third-highest position in Psychopathic's history). After the release of Heartbroken & Homicidal in 2010 and Abominationz in 2012, Twiztid departed from Psychopathic in late 2012.^[3]

Although 2013's A New Nightmare was essentially released without backing from a label, Twiztid eventually formed their own label in 2014, Majik Ninja Entertainment (MNE). Around the same time, Spaniolo and Methric reformed House of Krazees with Jones as a side project. 2015's The Darkness then became Twiztid's first album on the MNE label. Their subsequent album in 2017, The Continuous Evilution of Life's ?s, notably appeared on the most Billboard charts in Twiztid's career with seven total. Around the same time, Twiztid established the yearly Astronomicon event which focused on video games, horror films, comic books, and musical acts. Twiztid then released six additional albums between 2019 and 2022 (during that timespan they also formed the spin-off groups The Rydas and Eastside Ninjas). Both Methric and Spaniolo individually released their second solo albums in 2024, followed by another solo album from Spaniolo in early 2025. Twiztid's most recent album, Welcome to Your Funeral, was released in 2025.
