STONE SOUR has set “Audio Secrecy” as the title of its third album, due late summer via Roadrunner Records. The band and producer Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, ALICE IN CHAINS, RUSH) are currently holed away at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, where they’re putting finishing touches on the much-buzzed-about record.

“‘Audio Secrecy’ is the summation of everything we want, everything we crave and everything we fight for,” says lead singer Corey Taylor. “The dimensions go further than anything we’ve ever tried before. It’s metal, rock, slow, soft, hard, fast, bitter, beautiful and most importantly, it’s REAL. You can’t get an album like this out of a band that doesn’t exist. We’re throwing caution out the damn window.”

The band (vocalist Corey Taylor, guitarists James Root and Josh Rand, bassist Shawn Economaki and drummer Roy Mayorga) will be previewing select songs from “Audio Secrecy” during their performances on this summer’s Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival. The 36-date tour launches August 17 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will visit arenas and amphitheatres across North America before wrapping October 4 in Madison, Wisconsin. Tickets for Uproar go on sale Saturday, May 15 in select markets and are available via RockstarUproar.com andLiveNation.com.

Raskulinecz previously worked with STONE SOUR on the gold-selling“Come What(ever) May” album..

Both previous STONE SOUR albums have sold more than half a million copies and are approaching the platinum mark in sales, bolstered by hits like “Bother”, “Through Glass” and “Silly World”.

STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root also play in SLIPKNOT.
