The true Corey Taylor fans are also into his solo material. Corey has already released one solo album called CMFT and in September he will release CMFT 2.

CMFT

Corey Taylors first solo album dropped a couple really good singles including "Black Eyes Blue" and "Samantha's Gone."

Samatha's Gone is a great song and the video is a lot of fun to watch. The video has the members of Corey Taylors solo band working as the crew that is making the video. The director doesn't like the band that is actully in the video then recruits Taylor and crew to be in the video and when that doesn't work out, members of Steel Panther take over. It's a fun video and fun is really the vibe of Corey Taylors solo work.

Corey Taylor's CMFT 2 will be available on September 9th. Taylor recently made a claim that this will be the best rock album of 2023 and 2024.

So far from CMFT 2 we have gotten the track "Beyond" as a first single. This song has a little bit of everything that Corey Taylor has been known for all packed in to one song. Beyond is a very solid rock song that is racing up the charts as we speak but give it a listen and decide for yourself.
