Stone Sour
Audio Secrecy (2lp)
Three-time Grammy nominees, STONE SOUR are set to release their third studio album, Audio Secrecy on 6th September. The album was recorded in Nashville during the Spring floods earlier this year, with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Rush) manning the boards. The quintet (vocalist Corey Taylor, guitarists James Root and Josh Rand, bassist Shawn Economaki and drummer Roy Mayorga) have returned with a broadened range, a deepened perspective and the determination to make their new offering a multi-layered record free of stylistic limitations. "Its everything I've ever wanted to do on one album," says Taylor. "It's heavy, it's melodic, its dark, its slow, its light and its beautiful. Youll hear something different with each listen and most importantly, it's REAL. We're throwing caution out the damn window." The albums title is a play on words for idiosyncrasy. "Im a fan of double meanings and metaphorical speak," muses Taylor. "There are so many levels to what those two words combined could mean. As a title, it perfectly fit the album."
