Fronted by the charismatic Corey Taylor, Stone Sour has sold more than four million albums worldwide to date. Their eponymous debut album was unleashed in 2002 and was immediately confirmed as one of the most significant hard rock outfits of the 21st century. The second album, Come What(ever) May, followed in 2006 and proved an even greater accomplishment with a top 5 debut on the Billboard 200 and a #1 entry onto Billboard’s Rock Albums chart. The album also unleashed a series of rock radio classics, including Sillyworld, Made of Scars or the #1 hit Through Glass, which spent seven weeks at top of Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Four years later, in 2010, Stone Sour has delivered a new record Audio Secrecy. Album was dedicated to Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, who passed away earlier that year. 2012 and 2013 brings the monumental two-part concept album House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 and Part 2, with string of multi-format rock radio hits, like Absolute Zero, Do Me A Favor or Tired. 2015 saw the arrival of Straight Outta Burbank, an unprecedented EP in which Stone Sour take on five immortal songs originally performed by such iconic artists as Bad Brains, Iron Maiden, The Rolling Stones, Mötley Crüe, and Slayer. The EP is highlighted by a stunning rendition of The Rolling Stones’ – Gimme Shelter, featuring distinctive guest vocals from Lzzy Hale of Halestorm.

Forthcoming album Hdrograd will be released worldwide on June 30th (via Roadrunner Records). Album was recorded at Sphere Studios in North Hollywood, CA with producer Jay Ruston, and features the lead tracks Fabuless and Song #3.
