Stone Sour Ready Album For Release, Post MP3s And More

Stone Sour, who are readying their new album, "Come What(ever) May" for release on August 1 through Roadrunner Records, have released a slew of promotional media and a MP3s (links follow) including full MP3s of the first two singles "30/30-150" and "Reborn."

"As soon as the fans hear this new record, they'll see it's different from anything that we have ever done," says frontman Corey Taylor. "It gives me a chance to do the singing that I love to do, the type of singing that I do when I'm walking around my house." Elaborating on how STONE SOUR differs from his work in Slipknot he reveals "With Stone Sour, I loosen up and show more of myself."

Guitarist Rand believes that the diversity of "Come What(ever) May" will be what hooks fans, and what keeps them. "This album's content will fit any mood you may be in," the guitarist says. "If you've had a bad day at work, you could crank 'Hell And Consequences.' If you need a little optimism, you could listen to 'Through Glass.' If you are feeling depressed, you could listen to 'Zzyzx Road.'"

Guitarist ROOT, who contends that life itself influenced this album, sees "Come What(ever) May" as a necessary evolution in the band's sound. "We're taking every aspect to the next level. As an artist, no matter what you do, you must evolve. That's very important to me. Some people fear change. I embrace it. This record is a testament to where I am at, musically and spiritually."
