Stone Sour have started work on their third studio album which they hope to release later in the summer.
The rock outfit, featuring Slipknot's Corey Taylor and James Root, are recording the album at the Blackbird Studio in Nashville with acclaimed producer Nick Raskulinecz who they previously worked with on 2006's 'Come What(Ever) May.'
Singer Corey Taylor enthused: “I cannot wait to make this Stone Sour album. Everything already feels a million times stronger than anything we've done in the past.
“Plus, getting back together with Nick is going to mean monstrous things. This is the year for Stone Sour!”
The Des Moines five-piece are eyeing up an August release date and will be hoping to match the success of 'Come What(Ever) May' which is (almost) platinum in the US.
