Corey Taylor Biography
Corey Taylor is recognized as a versatile figure in the rock and heavy metal music industry, best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the Grammy Award-winning band Slipknot and as a co-founder and frontman of the hard rock group Stone Sour. Slipknot is noted for its aggressive metal sound and theatrical stage presence, while Stone Sour showcases a more melodic hard rock style. This duality has enabled Taylor to connect with a broad audience within the rock and metal genres. Taylor has achieved 11 platinum records, 43 gold records, and a Grammy Award, establishing his reputation in modern heavy music.
Taylor joined Slipknot in the late 1990s, contributing to the band's self-titled debut album, which gained significant attention in the hard rock community. Slipknot's discography includes "Iowa," "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)," "We Are Not Your Kind," and "The End, So Far." The band received the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for "Before I Forget," and Taylor has accumulated more than a dozen Grammy nominations throughout his career. He has also been recognized by NME and Hit Parader for his contributions as a heavy metal frontman and vocalist.
Taylor co-founded Stone Sour with drummer Joel Ekman, initially performing in the Des Moines, Iowa area and recording a demo. Despite Slipknot's commercial success, Taylor revived Stone Sour, releasing the band's debut album, "Stone Sour," which achieved gold status and earned a Grammy nomination. The follow-up album, "Come What(ever) May," also received a Grammy nomination. Beyond his work with Slipknot and Stone Sour, Taylor is an actor, author, and frequent collaborator, having worked with artists such as Korn, Damageplan, Anthrax, Soulfly, Disturbed, and Code Orange.
Taylor's creative pursuits extend to writing, with several books to his name, including "Seven Deadly Sins," "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven," and "You're Making Me Hate You." "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven" appeared on the New York Times Hardcover Non-Fiction best sellers list. His book "America 51: A Probe Into The Realities That Are Hiding Inside 'The Greatest Country In The World'" demonstrates his interest in social commentary. As a keynote speaker, Taylor addresses topics such as acting, addiction and recovery, authorship, mental health, and music.
Taylor has also established himself as a solo artist, releasing the album "CMFT," which blends hard rock, metal, classic rock, punk, and hip-hop influences. He followed this with "CMF2." Taylor was featured on the concept album "The Singularity" by composer Bear McCreary. Through his work as a frontman, author, and solo performer, Taylor continues to be a prominent and multifaceted presence in the rock and metal music landscape.
