Slipknot frontman to go solo
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 January 2009
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has announced that he is to take a break from the band, and his other band Stone Sour, in order to record a solo album.
He said: “It’s something that I’d like to do purely for myself. It’s something that I need to release before I can think about moving on to anything else. In both Slipknot and Stone Sour I’m slightly limited to how I can write and indeed what I can write about. The beauty of doing a solo album is that I can write whatever type of song I want”.
