Corey Taylor

Uncompromising, unfiltered, and undeniable in any arena, Corey Taylor continues to impact culture as the frontman for both GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum juggernaut Slipknot and platinum rock force Stone Sour. Taylor is a New York Times Best-Selling author as well as an actor with a myriad film and television credits. Impacting generations of fans and peers alike, his voice roars across six Slipknot albums which have rallied millions of fans across the globe. Globally Slipknot boast 13 Platinum and 44 Gold albums, three of which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 (All Hope is Gone, .5 the Gray Chapter and We Are Not Your Kind). 2019’s We Are Not Your Kind represented a critical and creative high watermark for Slipknot affirmed by praise from The Ringer, The FADER, and GQ, as well as the honor of Rolling Stone’s #1 “Best Metal Album of 2019.” With two gold-certified albums and a platinum single, Stone Sour have notched five Top 10 debuts on the “Billboard 200” and garnered Loudwire’s “Rock Album of the Decade” for House of Gold & Bones — Part 1, which also spawned its own Dark Horse Comics graphic novel of the same name by Taylor. 2017’s Hydrograd yielded one of the band’s biggest singles in the form of “Song #3,” which put up 100 million streams and clinched #1 on the “Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs” chart for five consecutive weeks. Taylor first crashed the New York Times Best Seller List with Seven Deadly Sins in 2011, occupying the chart for four weeks. He followed it up with three popular tomes: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Heaven [2013], You’re Making Me Hate You [2015], and America 51 [2017]. Meanwhile, his filmography encompasses Fear Clinic, Doctor Who, Officer Downe, and Sharknado 4. The rare renaissance man who can give a symposium at Oxford University and headline heavy music festivals around the globe, Taylor forever challenges culture to think, dream, and scream along with him.
