Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand has issued the following update:
"Our tentative plan is to start rehearsals for the new album in the fall of 2009, hit the studio at the beginning of 2010, and release around summer time. I have to say that all of us are really thrilled about having Roy [Mayorga, drums] in the writing process this time around. I've heard song ideas from everyone, and I have a feeling this could be the most diverse STONE SOUR album yet!"
In related news,
Josh has been working on a new project called
Moonshot. "
It's a female-fronted rock band, and I'm pretty excited about it!" he said. Three songs from the group — "
Blood Red", "
Fedback" and "
Riptide" — are available for streaming on the
Moonshot MySpace page.
Stone Sour's gold-certified sophomore CD, "Come What(Ever) May", is available in a special edition featuring six bonus tracks, four music videos, and a complete concert filmed in Moscow.
