Corey Taylor: 'New Stone Sour album is some of the best s*** we've ever written.'
They're eyeing up a 2017 release date
Corey Taylor says that Stone Sour have demoed 18 songs for their sixth studio album and it’s “some of the best s* we've ever written."**
In a fresh interview, Corey confirmed that Stone Sour plan to hit the studio this autumn and are eyeing up a 2017 release date for the follow-up to 2013’s House of Gold & Bones – Part 2.
Corey enthuses: "I'm champing at the bit to record it and get it ready to go. The cool thing is that it's got a lot of different directions, but at it's core it's very hard rock, and I mean that in an almost sort of modern/classic sense.
“There are some hints of punk in there. There's some cool hard rock/heavy metal. There's just all these really cool elements that we've never really allowed ourselves to go into.
“We're really to kind of push even further with this. It'll feel like it's all over the map, but it will be very unifying when everyone hears it. It's exciting, man."
Elsewhere in the Billboard interview, Corey explained how the collaboration with Korn on their new album ‘The Serenity of Suffering’ came about.
"That was really cool. I didn't even honestly expect the call," Corey said. "I knew they were working with Nick (Raskulinecz) and Nick hit me up and was like, 'Dude, this f** s***’s going really well. We've got this tune, we're trying to wrap our head around it but it might need you. I was like, 'When do you need me? I'm getting on a plane.'
“I literally booked the flight the next day and flew down and did it. I just belted it out and we just kind of went for it. It was cool."
Still recovering from a broken neck, Corey is currently on the road in North America with Slipknot on their sprawling tour with Marilyn Manson.
