I joined Alli Hagendorf on her podcast to to talk about my new music, how music literally saved my life, why I describe myself as the worst metal dad, the new bands I’m loving, and how I am going to celebrate this year’s milestone birthday.
In an exclusive behind-the-scenes video for Rolling Stone, Taylor explains the concept for the video, which he and his band shot with director Dale “Rage” Resteghini at an abandoned water park in Lake Dolores, California in the Mojave Desert. “This whole video is a metaphor,” he says. “It’s a representation of where we are right now as a nation, as a country, as a people. The fact that no one accepts that Americans look different, talk different, speak different, love different is completely fucking ludicrous. So this video is a journey of where America is right now going to where America is right now, because like it or not, this is America, man.”
GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum singer-songwriter, actor, and New York Times best-selling author Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) reveals details for his new solo studio album, CMF2, including the release of the electrifying new single, “Beyond,” out today.
