The wheels are in motion for Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor’s follow-up to his 2020 solo debut, CMFT.
Taylor has signed a deal with BMG to release the album, which will bear the decidedly lackluster name CMF2, Taylor revealed on Thursday.
“It’s bigger, better and harder than CMFT in almost every way,” he says. “The songs are sick, the music is gigantic, and the risks were off the charts. CMFT was where I came from; CMF2 is where I’m going.”
“I wanted to work with BMG because they came in super hot wanting to work with me, and they’ve been keeping the fires burning for rock, punk and metal over the last few years,” Taylor continued.
“We are thrilled to welcome Corey Taylor to the BMG family,” Senior VP of international marketing Jason Hradil said in a statement. “His new album is an extension of the incredible body of work he’s assembled over his career, and we can’t wait for fans around the world to hear it later this year.”
The album is due sometime this year.
