John Benson from Billboard.com is reporting:
STONE SOUR, the Grammy-nominated alt-metal band fronted by SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor, will release Audio Secrecy on September 7, the group's first new release in nearly four years. Taylor wasn't sure what kind of reaction the new music would get from fans.
So late last week, Taylor was pleasantly surprised when new song 'Mission Statement' was downloaded over 50,000 times for free during a special 48-hour period at the group's website.
"I'm just sort of blown away and ecstatic," Taylor says. "There's a lot of buzz and people are really stoked. This album is not only better than the first two Stone Sour albums combined, to me it's the most well-rounded and diverse album I've ever been able to make. The music is just so visceral, and 'Mission Statement' is a perfect example of where it's at. That's a great anthem. It's got a little bit of the heavy but also is melodic as hell."There's no secret that Stone Sour provides Taylor with creative expression and exploration that he's unable to attain with Slipknot's aggressive style. Taylor declined to comment directly about the recent death of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, he did offer a "too soon to say right now" regarding the masked band's future.
