STONE SOUR Debuts New Song In Berlin; Video Available

June 7, 2010

STONE SOUR debuted a brand new song called "Mission Statement" during the band's June 7, 2010 concert at Columbia in Berlin, Germany.

Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be viewed below.

STONE SOUR has set September 7 as the release date for the band's third album, "Audio Secrecy". This Thursday (June 10) at 11:00 a.m. ET, the band and its label will post a free MP3 download of "Mission Statement" at their respective web sites. The track is the first to go public from the album and will only be available for 48 hours.

STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor told The Pulse of Radio recently that the band was looking for an "anthem" to open the album when they came up with "Mission Statement". "We literally put that together in one day and really shot for the moon with it," he said. "And it came together so well that just as a track itself it's amazing, but setting the rest of the album up, I couldn't hope for a better point of view or a better song that would set the album up like that. It just — it was magic."

STONE SOUR's last effort, 2006's "Come What(ever) May", debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard album chart and included the hits "Through Glass", "Sillyworld" and "Made Of Scars".

The new disc will arrive just as STONE SOUR embarks on the inaugural Uproar Festival tour with AVENGED SEVENFOLD and DISTURBED. The trek kicks off on August 17 in Minneapolis and will hit 36 cities.

Taylor and STONE SOUR guitarist Jim Root are also members of SLIPKNOT, which was rocked two weeks ago by the death of bass player Paul Gray. SLIPKNOT is on hiatus until at least 2011.
