Read this: 10 of the best Corey Taylor guest appearances
Corey also announces that there are plans to release two songs from the album first – one being "the overall crusher single – really great, huge chorus, big vibe", and another that "is just as fun on the completely other end of the spectrum that people are gonna hear and they are going to lose their minds".
Interestingly, as well as writing "13 originals" for the record, the singer and his band (bassist Jason Christopher, drummer Dustin Schoenhofer, and guitarists Zach Throne and Christian Martucci) also recorded a bunch of cover songs, as well as acoustic versions of the original material. So expect a lot of Corey Taylor coming your way when this finally drops.
"All I know is that we did an insane amount of work in two and a half weeks – something that we thought was gonna take two months – and we destroyed it," he enthuses. "We were doing a song a day. And we got done, and we were, like, 'Eh, okay. What are we gonna do now?' Everything has come together so quickly that it's crazy."
