Last week, Corey released another brand-new solo track, HWY 666. Speaking to Kerrang! about how it came about, he revealed: “Two of the verses for HWY 666 I wrote when I was in 10th grade. I’d forgotten all about it until a few years ago – I found some notebooks at my grandma’s house that she had just held on to. I opened it up, flipped it open, and there was no title, but it was just the lyrics – the verses. And I just went, ‘Oh yeah! Fuck! I forgot all about this!’
“And it’s crazy, because that’s kind of how this [solo project] started, man. I had just recently moved a bunch of my stuff from my old Iowa house, because I was selling my house in Iowa. And I found all of these old notebooks, loaded with songs that I’d forgotten.”
