Corey Taylor Signs Agreement To Release Second Album

Taylor To Release CMF2 Through BMG

One of the biggest names in heavy metal band history has signed a global agreement for the release of his second solo album. Corey Taylor triumphed with his first self carried venture in 2020, released on RoadRunner Records. His upcoming sophomore release, CMF2, is poised to be “bigger, better and harder than CMFT in almost every way. The songs are sick, the music is gigantic, and the risks were off the charts. CMFT was where I came from; CMF2 is where I’m going,” as Taylor himself states. BMG, the international music company giant is set to boost the release with their extra leg up of international reach and high calibre portfolio. The company is one of the worlds largest music publishers in the world. Though unlike its major competitors BMG runs both its publishing and label services under the same roof and have garnished a good name for themselves keeping “the fire burning for rock, punk and metal over the last few years,” as Taylor himself stated. His decision to sign with them came after being approached directly, “I wanted to work with BMG because they came in super hot wanting to work with me”. The album will be released on Taylor’s label imprint, Decibel Cooper/BMG.

CMF2 isn’t the only thing Taylor has on his consistently full plate. With Slipknot being the herculean presence on the metal scene that it is and his duel fronting of double platinum selling hard rock band Stone Sour Taylor is never short of Grammy winning work. Despite this endless discography of ear grabbing music, BMG president Thomas Scherer shared his excitement for CMF2. “We were completely blown away after hearing Corey’s new album. His music is absolutely brilliant with the marketing skills to match. It is an honour to be the partner for such an inspiring artist and entrepreneur like Corey Taylor and amplify his vision globally.” The album is due to be released later this year.
