Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor has been talking about his solo album for a little while now. Come this week, we'll find out what it sounds like.
Taylor took to Twitter to announce his solo project (presumably titled Corey Mother Fucking Taylor) will release some new music on July 29. All we know is that Taylor's backing band is guitarists Christian Martucci (Stone Sour) and Zach Throne, bassist Jason Christopher (Prong), and drummer Dustin Schoenhofer (Walls of Jericho).
In a previous interview, Taylor noted the album will feature about 13 songs, even though the band's plan is to record 25. He noted the album is already 98% to 99% done.
“…We did thirteen originals. We recorded seven covers, and then we did six acoustic versions of the originals that we put together. Or [maybe] it’s five. I can never keep that straight. Maybe it’s six [covers] and six [acoustic versions] — I can’t remember. All I know is that we did an insane amount of work in two and a half weeks — something that we thought was gonna take two months — and we destroyed it. We were doing a song a day. And we got done, and we were, like, ‘Eh, okay. What are we gonna do now?’ Everything has come together so quickly that it’s crazy.”
