Song is latest from upcoming studio album
Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor releases “Post Traumatic Blues” from his forthcoming solo studio album, CMF2. The album will be available September 15th on his own imprint, Decibel Cooper Recordings, in a new deal with BMG.
“‘Post Traumatic Blues’ is my attempt to describe for people what it’s like to deal with PTSD,” says Taylor. “Sometimes it’s so hard for people to understand the ups and downs, the severity of the cold and numbness, that I wanted to try and build a bridge lyrically between the ones living with the disease and the ones who are trying to help them.”
CMF2 album/merch bundles are available now for pre-order including a hoodie and standard black double LP vinyl fan pack and a double LP exclusive offering in opaque orchid vinyl, limited to one thousand pressings.
Released in May, the first single “Beyond” has entered the Top 15 at rock radio in just six weeks and was the cover and No. 1 spot of the Rock Hard Playlist on Spotify.
CMF2 follows up Taylor’s 2020 solo debut CMFT, which featured the No. 1 Billboard mainstream rock single “Black Eyes Blue” and streaming sensation “CMFT Must Be Stopped” featuring Tech N9ne and Kid Bookie. The LP hit No. 6 on Billboard’s US Top Rock Albums charts.
“My first solo album was kind of where I was coming from. This album is more where we’re going,” Taylor adds. CMF2 – where Taylor sings and plays lead and rhythm guitar, piano, and mandolin – packs the energy, experimentation, and forthrightness that’s defined a career which has seen him sell more than 12 million albums with his Grammy-winning band Slipknot and several million with chart-toppers Stone Sour.
In support of his new album, Taylor announces his 2023 tour featuring special guests Wargasm, Oxymorrons, and Luna Aura on select dates. Produced by Live Nation, the 28-city tour kicks off on August 25th at Fillmore Auditorium in Denver making stops across the US in Detroit, Orlando, Dallas and more before the final headline show in Los Angeles at The Wiltern on October 5th.
