As reported by Billboard, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has signed a "global recordings agreement" with BMG to release his second solo album, CMF2, the follow-up to 2020's CMFT. The record will come via Taylor's new label imprint Decibel Cooper/BMG, which, the singer says, "will not only allow me to release my own music and art worldwide, but it also gives me a solid way to help bolster any rad new acts I want to put on the roster. BMG is going to help me put my money where my mouth is — giving a boost to the next generation."
Speaking on CMF2, Taylor described it to Billboard as "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."
He also previewed the multitude of other projects he has on his plate. "I've always got a ton of things going on," Taylor said. He recently acquired the Famous Monsters horror brand, and he said that the enterprise is "firing up, on print and digitally," with plans to create toys, films and festivals under the banner. "Still in [pre-production] for Zombie vs. Ninja, the first of the movies I've written," he added, "still toying with the ideas for my fifth book. You know me — can't get rid of me!"
CMF2 is due later this year.
