Iowa hard rock outfit Stone Sour are all set for an Australian tour in support of the upcoming release of their hotly-anticipated fifth album Hydrograd. Last here in Australia in 2013 for Soundwave Festival, the band will showcase their sonic ingenuity once again in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this August.
Fronted by the charismatic Corey Taylor—who is also the lead vocalist of Slipknot—with Josh Rand (guitar), Roy Mayorga (drums), Johny Chow (bass), and Christian Martucci (guitar), Stone Sour sold over four million albums across the globe over the course of five full-length albums. They released their self-titled debut album in 2002 and immediately earned the reputation as one of the most popular and significant hard rock outfits of the 21st Century. Stone Sour earned RIAA gold certification while singles “Get Inside” and “Inhale” each received Grammy® Award nominations for “Best Metal Performance.”
Come What(ever) May followed in 2006, surpassing the success of their first album with a top five debut on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 and a number one entry onto Billboard’s Rock Albums Chart. The acclaimed album spawned still another Grammy®-nominated single in “30/30-150”. Stone Sour’s most recent all-original releases, the monumental House of Gold & Bones – Part 1 and House of Gold & Bones – Part 2 both made Top 10 debuts on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon their 2012 and 2013 arrivals.
In 2015, Stone Sour dropped their Straight Outta Burbank EP, then headed back to the studio to record Hydrograd. The album, recorded at Sphere Studios in North Hollywood, CA with producer Jay Ruston, features the lead tracks “Fabuless” and “Song #3”. “Fabuless” is joined by an official music video, directed by Paul Brown, which is streaming now on Stone Sour’s official YouTube channel. The album will be released worldwide on June 30.
