It's been a challenging year for Taylor and guitarist Jim Root, both of whom also play in Slipknot. But while the untimely death of 'Knot bassist Paul Gray is surely still on their mind, the tracks previewed from 'Audio Secrecy' seem more positive and upbeat then recent events would suggest.
In fact, Taylor dedicated first single, 'Say You'll Haunt Me,' to his new wife. Stone Sour give Taylor and Root a venue to write more straightforward rock songs than Slipknot, and the band -- which also contains guitarist Josh Rand, bassist Shawn Economacki and drummer Roy Mayorga -- is able to switch between heavier songs and more radio-ready hits like 'Through Glass' and 'Bother.' The 75-minute set showed both sides of the band.
"Audio Secrecy" is set for official release on September 6.
