Slipknot’s Corey Taylor has shared an update on his upcoming solo album.

Slipknot has been active for 25 years. Taylor has always been a crucial part of the group and until now, he has never seized the opportunity to pursue a solo venture.

This year, however, Taylor has decided to release his debut solo album. He has revealed that the album will draw influence from some of the biggest names in rock ‘n’ roll and will be full of “huge solos”.

Speaking with Knotfest.com, he said: “It’s everything I wanted it to be. There’s some Slade in there, there’s some Johnny Cash, there’s some Alice In Chains.

“I mean, big choruses, fun rock, just huge solos — huge solos. It’s incredible. I, actually, two years ago, started teaching myself piano just so I can record this song that I wrote for my wife, and I was able to play it and record it. And it’s really good — it’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever written.”

Taylor also revealed that the album will contain thirteen tracks with roughly six covers.

A release date for Corey Taylor’s solo album has still not been announced.
