STONE SOUR Singer COREY TAYLOR Featured In Premiere Episode Of 'Mad Genius'

October 22, 2010

As STONE SOUR tears through Europe on an international tour, the band's blockbuster single "Say You'll Haunt Me" is dominating the airwaves here at home. The lead single from new album "Audio Secrecy" (Roadrunner Records) has held the No. 1 slot on Billboard's Rock Songs Chart for six straight weeks and counting.

Fuse TV is putting a spotlight on the band — and lead singer Corey Taylor in particular — with the October 31 episode of "Mad Genius", a new music documentary series focusing on hugely successful pioneers in the music industry. Others featured in the series include Lil Wayne and Britney Spears. The show will air at 1 p.m. EST.

Fueled by the song's success "Audio Secrecy" entered Billboard's Top 200 No. 6, making it the second consecutive top ten debut for the three-time-Grammy-nominated quintet. Internationally, the album garnered the highest debuts of the band's career, including Top 5 charts in Germany, Japan and Austria, as well as Top 10 in the U.K. and Australia.

The band is looking to maintain momentum with follow-up single "Hesitate", which already reached No. 11 on the iTunes Rock Singles chart without the benefit of a radio campaign. The group shot a video for the song on September 20 in Los Angeles with director Paul Brown (JACK WHITE/ALICIA KEYS, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, JOHN MAYER) and directing collective Beta Movement/Skulley FX.

STONE SOUR (lead vocalist Corey Taylor, guitarists James Root and Josh Rand, bassist Shawn Economaki and drummer Roy Mayorga) spent the summer touring with the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar festival. Following their current sold-out U.K. arena tour with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, they'll return home before hitting the Soundwave Festival in Australia in early '11.
