Corey Taylor Drops “Beyond” Single; ‘CMF2’ Album Details & US Tour Announced

GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum singer-songwriter, actor, and New York Times best-selling author, Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) has revealed the details of his new solo studio album, CMF2,

To celebrate the news, the frontman has released a brand new single, “Beyond,” via new record label home, Decibel Cooper/BMG. Watch the video for “Beyond” here.

Speaking about the single, Taylor explains: “I originally wrote it as an aggressive romantic song, but I’m also looking at it now as a kind of ‘come together’ song. Bringing the masses together, and letting them know that I want my music to take them beyond what they may think about me. Maybe they’ve had a misconception about me. It’s not exactly a calling card, more like throwing the bat signal up and being ‘alright, let’s turn everything on its head.’ It’s almost a dual threat, because now I look at it from two standpoints.”

On the subject of the album, which follows Taylor’s 2020 solo debut CMFT, the frontman says: “My first solo album was kind of where I was coming from. This album is more where we’re going.”

CMF2 is Taylor’s first album for BMG and the first on his own label imprint, Decibel Cooper Recordings.
