Stone Sour have had a change of plans and have now enlisted producer Nick Raskulinecz (Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters) to helm the sessions for their upcoming new album. Tracking will take place at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, TN, while the group expect to have the album out in stores this summer through Roadrunner.

For now, band frontman Corey Taylor had the following to say on the outing:

“I cannot wait to make this Stone Sour album. Everything already feels a million times stronger than anything we’ve done in the past. Plus getting back together with Nick is going to mean monstrous things. This is the year for Stone Sour.”
