Corey Taylor was recently interviewed by Metal Hammer where he talked about his upcoming solo album CMF2.
Taylor was asked about his journey spanning about 25 years and what his upcoming album, CMF2, represents. Taylor responded by discussing his aspirations for his “third act,” and how he hopes to embody a blend of Springsteen and Osbourne.
He said: “I’m looking at this as my third chapter. Starting out with SLIPKNOT was a war just to keep my s**t together, then as time went on it became about balancing two massive acts and to keep doing it for my own pure reasons. This third act will probably be the last 20 years of my career, presuming I make it another 20 years!
“For me, the third act is bringing together music from this wheel I’ve found myself in – songs from SLIPKNOT, from STONE SOUR, and to show people things and bands they’ve never heard before. I want to be a mash-up of Bruce Springsteen and Ozzy Osbourne.”
Corey Taylor‘s second studio album, CMF2, is set to release on September 15th.
