Looks like SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor is not content being in two bands (STONE SOUR being the other of course). Taylor said in a recent interview that he has over 40 songs ready and plans to take a break soon to focus on recording and releasing a solo album saying:
"It's something that I'd like to do purely for myself. It's something that I need to release before I can think about moving on to anything else… In both SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR I'm slightly limited to how I can write and indeed what I can write about. The beauty of doing a solo album is that I can write whatever type of song I want."
Don't expect the album too soon, as Corey will be on the road for the next three months with the 'knot, TRIVIUM and COHEED AND CAMBRIA.
