Singer and musician Corey Taylor, best known for fronting the successful metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, is all geared up to drop his debut solo album titled 'CMFT'. The album, the title of which stands for Corey Mother F***ing Taylor, was announced by the singer on his official Twitter account saying, "It's been a long time coming.

He spoke to Loudwire about 'CMFT' and said, "This is probably the most alive album I've done in a long time. It's probably the most fun I've had making an album since the first Slipknot album, to be honest. It's gonna throw people for a loop because it is unlike anything I've ever done. However, it is the most fun album people are gonna hear in all of 2020."

Here's all you need to know about the upcoming album 'CMFT':

Release date

'CMFT' will release worldwide on October 2, 2020, via Roadrunner Records. The album has been produced by Corey Taylor, Davey Johnson and Jay Ruston.

Concept

Talking about the album, the Slipknot frontman said, "It’s something I’ve been threatening to do for a long time, going back about 10 years. It was something I just kept putting off. But I was getting asked about it a lot by fans, journalists and whatnot and I just started thinking, 'Well, shit, maybe it’s time'. I had accumulated all these songs over the years that didn’t fit with either Slipknot or Stone Sour, and if you put them all together, it creates a record that is such a personal reflection of who I am musically."

Tracklist

The album consists of thirteen songs which are as follows:

1. 'HWY 666'

2. 'Black Eyes Blue'

3. 'Samantha's Gone'

4. 'Meine Lux'

5. 'Halfway Down'

6. 'Silverfish'

7. 'Kansas'

8. 'Culture Head'

9. 'Everybody Dies on My Birthday'

10. 'The Maria Fire'

11. 'Home'

12. 'CMFT Must Be Stopped' (Ft. Kid Bookie & Tech N9ne)

13. 'European Tour Bus Bathroom Song'

Interestingly, Corey has rappers Tech N9ne and Kid Bookie on the twelfth track 'CMFT Must Be Stopped'.
