Product Description A world-class string section perfectly captures the power of Stone Sour’s debut album. These skilled musicians dive into the band’s muscular riffs and relentless battery. The stark instrumentals on this album are imbued with a newfound sense of vitality and passion. Violins, viola, and cello combine to form a sweeping exploration of Stone Sour’s essence. Listen to this album to get inside the band’s heart. About the Artist Let’s not use that dirty phrase. "Side project." That would be a particularly inappropriate description of Stone Sour. Despite featuring Corey Taylor and James Root, Stone Sour exists outside of Slipknot’s immense shadow. While decidedly metal, Stone Sour performs songs drenched in melodies and emotion. Guitars chug, the rhythm pulsates, and Corey works with material that captures his true vocal range. Stone Sour is a band unto itself. They are a monolith.
