Stone Sour have now officially begun tracking their new album at Sound Farm Studios in Iowa with producer David Bottrill (Tool, Muse). Roadrunner Records expect to issue the new effort this fall.
According to guitarist Josh Rand:
“This album will be another progression for the band. Musically, we have always challenged one another to push things to our limits, and this record is no exception.”
“Lyrically, the album follows one character to that complex moment in his life, when he finally has to decide which path to take. It’s a spiritual and moral power play for control of what this man will be for the rest of his life. Each song will tell the story from different sides of the character’s personality, with the listener ultimately deciding how the story ends.”
In celebration of the recording time the group are giving away a free copy of their song “The Pessimist” online via stonesour.com.
