Corey Taylor, the charismatic and essential frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour, needs no introduction. He returns with his second solo album, CMF2, following up on the excellent CMFT released in 2020. It promises to be a noisy back-to-school season. Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, actor, and New York Times bestselling author, Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), releases his new solo studio album CMF2 on September 15, 2023. "My first solo album was kind of where I came from. This album is more where we're going," adds Taylor. CMF2 – on which Taylor sings and plays lead and rhythm guitar, piano, and mandolin – contains the energy, experimentation, and straightforwardness that define a career that has seen him sell over 12 million albums with his Grammy-winning band Slipknot, and several million with chart-topping Stone Sour.
