Des Moines, Iowa USA-based, Stone Sour began in the late '90s as the
Alternative-Rock recording project of vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist
Jim Root, both also known for their work with the neo-shock metallers
Slipknot.
With the addition of Josh Rand on guitar, Shawn Economaki on bass and
Joel Ekman on drums the band issued their first self-titled full-length
CD in August 2002; it was an eclectic album, propelled by the band's busy
tour schedule and the contemplative smash single "Bother", which
was originally credited to Corey Taylor and was used on the soundtrack
for the film "Spider Man"; this song peaked at #2 on The Mainstream
Rock chart and at #4 on The Modern Rock Tracks list sending the album
into the top 50 of The Billboard 200 chart.
Taylor spent much of 2004 and 2005 supporting his other band but in August
2006, following the replacement of Ekman by ex-Soulfly
drummer Roy Mayorga, Stone Sour re-emerged with a brand new album: "Come
What(ever) May", the set includes the first single, "Through
Glass" and the bass drum-heavy "30/30-150".
