Stone Sour To Begin Work On New Album In January

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has told AOL's Noisecreep that his other band, Stone Sour, will probably go into the studio in January "for two or three months" to record its third album for a late spring/early summer release via Roadrunner Records. "We've already got ten tunes fully written and another 15 we're kind of working on here and there," he said. "When I'm not on the road I'm still working, I never stop. And it's really good, everything we're doing is really, really good."

Regarding the musical direction of the new material, Taylor said, "I can say the material is darker than [2006's] 'Come What(ever) May', but a lot more melodic, a lot stronger, a lot more mature, and the lyrics that are coming out of me are really good. I'm really excited."

Stone Sour released a deluxe edition of its second album, "Come What(ever) May", in June 2007. The new package featured all the videos from the album, six previously unreleased tracks, including a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", and a bonus DVD featuring an entire concert filmed in Moscow in late 2006.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

all hope is gone had a lot of stone sour-esque stuff on it, and the way corey just described this makes me think soon enough the music from both bands will just be the same

[SuicidalFreak]

So, now that Stone Sour's going to release a new album next year, it looks like a new Slipknot album won't be released sooner than 2012.

[LTDman90]

As long as it sounds like their first one, im fine. Come Whatever May had very little replay value with an exception of a few songs.

[Waltah]

Wow he never take a break right?:P

[Wildchild92]

This is gonna be crushing! YES!

[EpiExplorer]

Stone sour is pretty decent. Much liked 'Hell and Consequences'. Hope its a mix of the other 2 albums, because they were both heavier than fuggin Vol 3..

[6sic6_blank]

That sounds like the same description he used for All Hope Is Gone. I was alittle disappointed with that album. But nonetheless, still a Slipknot album with some great tunes on it.

I am looking forward to the next album, the only thing I didn't like about Come What(ever)May was the screaming style Corey was using. :\ But I like the shouting he's doing now. I'm intrigued.

[Guitar_Jester]

I loved the last record. I hope they are taking it in the same direction.

[jj48thechamp]

stone sour is amazing. i cant wait to hear what kind of deep dpressing stuff corey has come up with for this album

[Shabalaba]

Looking forward to it, loved come whatever may

Take your time. We're still trying to forget about Slipknot. I'm still waiting for him to make yet another band named after his favorite sandwich at the local cafe he frequents.

[ingames]

Stone sour are effin awesome, and one of the better modern hard rock bands.
I own Come whatever may Ltd edit, and it's one of my most played albums.
They got the grooves, the melodies and cool lyrics/vocals. What more would you want?

[Slash 555]

Sweet :P But can UG get a new picture of Corey? It's been the same early 2000's beanie hat Corey for years now lol

[BushMasterFlex]

awwwww that means slipknot wont have a new record for a while lol!

[chuckfuk87]

Fuck yeah so stoked for new record!

[f1sk]

the last two albums have both been awesome

corey taylor and the junk beer kidnap band?

[-Collapse-]

I'm glad they're going darker again, I miss the classic Stone Sour. I could listen to their pre-label demos for the rest of time.

[BeatenDog]

If corey taylor wants to right dark music why doesnt he do it with Slipknot instead of the band he was suppsoed to right slow music with, instead of putting slow music on the Slipknot albums I seen them on their last tour and they olny played one song from Iowa and then a bunch of the slow shit from All Hope Is Gone and Subliminal Versus it was like a completly different band from the last ime i seen them

[Scourge441]

Checked.

It's been alright for now, but anything involving someone from Slipknot usually descends into a shitstorm. So I'm telling you guys now to play nice and be constructive with your criticisms of the band.

[Jmoarguitar]

slipknot got a bit lighter on all hope is gone, and now stone sour is getting a bit darker.. hmm

[koikomoru]

Don't get me wrong, i love slipknot and Corey Taylor is one hell of a front man. But to me stone sour is almost like a little black mark on Corey's list. The band just isn't as strong as Slipknot and like an above poster stated, sooner or later the music from both is going to start sounding alike. I'd personally like to see him put his effort into slipknot and work on another record. But that's me being selfish i guess.

[PLOP]

YES YES FUCK YES

I'm kinda getting tired of heard "Stone Sour is the band that does slow music that isn't heavy"
Have you listened to the self titled and the demos?
Quite a bit of that stuff is just as heavy as early Slipknot. And some of it is older than Slipknot too.

[-Collapse-]

Hearing*

[zackk]

I really liked come whatever may. I hope this one will be good. I would prefer him to release a new cd with stone sour anyway.

[danielthalen]

Quit wearing that stupid ****ing beanie.

where the hell have you been? theyve only played 3 songs total from all hope is gone and like 3 from vol 3 then all of it was either self titled or iowa. i saw them in february and shit it was awesome. more than half of self titled sprinkled with all the other albums and they did TWO songs off AHIG so i wouldnt complain about the current set

[TheLukeMaxfield]

Cant wait til they go on tour!

lolololololololololololllll

[jburde]

Fuck Slipknot. Stone Sour is where it's at

[nmcollins05]

I think Cory Taylor likes Stone Sour more because those fans allow him to be more artistic and musical.

[liam1107]

You guys obviously forget that it ain't just corey that writes the songs.
Its a group effort, so you couldnt really take something that mick thompson had put his hand to and use it in stone sour the same way they couldnt take something josh rand had helped written and use it in slipknot.

slipknot loses the percusionists and they just become dancers for the band!

this amuses me...

[guitargodwannab]

*in a Mr. Burns voice* exxxcelllent

[voodoochild23]

All Hope Is Gone wasn't THAT light, Gematria was decent, as well as the title track, and a few others scattered through. Its like Slipknot release one acoustic track on their album and it makes them a pop band, whereas Stone Sour can get away with having 7 or 8 acoustic intro's to their songs. It makes no sense, Slipknot are heavier and always will be.

Stone Sour's music is nothing like Slipknot's, in my opinion. Im excited about the new album, Corey Taylor is a gem in today's music world.

[Mike5953]

It doesn't matter how Corey write songs, he does a good job in Slipknot AND Stone Sour.

[chaos13]

All Hope Is Gone wasn't my favorite Slipknot album, I think Iowa was their best, just because of how dark and different from anything else it is.

Stone Sour's self-titled has some awesome songs, but overall isn't quite as good as Come What(ever) May

idk, Chris said that a follow-up album would be released in 2010. It's possible because while Corey and Jim are recording with Stone Sour, the rest of the band could start writing stuff or already has written stuff and let them add their parts when they come back, but who knows, it comes out when it comes out.

[Helloween_rox]

About god damn time. Stone Sour is where his vocal prowess really shines through, instead of the semi-crappy vocals he does in Slipknot.

[conroy91]

I like Them both 50/50 right now. Its hard to decide which i like more. So far stone sour has had a better start i'd say. im hoping for more stuff like cold reader. Not that i didn't like come whatever may but the first album was so much more raw

[DualReaver]

That's unfortunate.

[crebbechi]

im starting to like stonesour more than slipknot, slipknot fails to excite me as much as stonesour, previous to albums were great especially come what(ever) may. Can't wait for new album.

[unininium]

Come what(ever) may is one of my favorate albums of all time, I doubt the new one will be as good but I'm still looking forward to it. Wasn't that impressed with all hope is gone so I'm hoping stone sour go in a differant direction.

[Aero|]

"his band" ;D

stone sours sweet but slipknot is sweeter!!
