Later this year (most likely at the end of the summer) the third album from American rock and metal band Stone Sour will be released. The band based upon Slipknot-members Corey Taylor and James Root is currently camping in a studio in Nashville, Tennessee, with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones). Furthermore, according to Taylor, it will be a much darker album than ‘Come What(ever) May’ from 2006. The new material will also be tested ‘on the road’ as, aside from a few European festivals, Stone Sour will be stopping in the AB for a second time, namely on Monday 14 June.

Things really got rolling for Stone Sour in 2006, with their second album ‘Come What(ever) May’. With a half million albums sold in their homeland and having scored a nomination for the Grammy’s, the band is also advancing in Europe, not in the least due to their live reputation. Corey Taylor himself describes their sound as intense, dramatic, emotional, colourful, dark, melodious, powerful, honest, driven, but above all: new. However the power of their tight, rocking but, especially, melodious metal songs lies in their accessibility: what you would call "rock ’n roll for the people".
