Taylor was interviewed by Kaaos TV about his future musical direction and said that “everybody knows my musical tastes have always been all over the place. I love music—and I love good music. I’ve always said that every genre has good music in it. So when I hear something that I really dig, I’m really into it.”

According to Taylor, his broad musical taste influenced both his musical styles and his songwriting. “The only thing I really wanted to do on this album was put the best songs forward because I’ve got enough material for three or four solo albums. But I wanted this first album to really have that impact, to really put the best songs on there, put the best foot forward and show something that I’ve never shown the audience before.”

He was also asked whether he is planning to support the new album CMFT with live shows. He said that he will finish Slipknot’s rescheduled touring and probably work on his second solo album. “Once everything starts to fire back up, it’s probably going to be another year of touring with Slipknot, just to cover our bases and make sure we get around the world and get to the fans,” Taylor said. “Then,” he continued, “I’ll tour two albums instead of just one.”

CMFT is set to be released on October 2nd.

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.

The Slipknot vocalist has had a busy year. In addition to putting out a brand new Slipknot album, Taylor worked on the Amazon Prime show, The Boys. Now, the singer-songwriter says he is getting ready to put out a solo album and if it’s half as epic as he is making it out to be, it’s going to be huge.

“It’s definitely going to be rock-based, but it’s going to be rock meets so many different things,” Taylor told WhatCulture Music. “There will be harder-edged stuff, but there also will be big, expansive, huge, world-changing guitar songs that you’re going to want to sing along to.”

He added: “That’s just who I am, and I’m not going to fight who I am. I’ve got 26 songs written, and I’m not done yet.”

There is no release date in sight for this “harder-edged” album but with 26 songs down already, we imagine it’s in the pipeline.
