Corey Taylor confirms CMFT B-sides album; first single coming on Friday

While it seemed as though Corey Taylor's attention was completely back on Slipknot now with a new album on the way, the frontman has revealed that he's also still been working on his solo project, CMFT.

In a new interview on on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk (via Blabbermouth), Corey shares that a CMFT B-sides album compromised of covers and acoustic tracks is arriving this month, with the first 'single' – a cover of On The Dark Side – dropping on Friday, February 11.

"CMFT is putting out a B-sides album which has all the covers that we've done and some acoustic versions of some of the songs that are on," he says.

"The first single will actually be February 11, and people will be able to download that. It's our cover of On The Dark Side by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, which is one of the best rock tunes ever. It's one of our favourites to play live…

"The CMFT B-sides will come out February 25. It'll be available everywhere. We're really stoked on that too."

With a busy year of shows planned for the ’Knot, Corey adds that he'll still be doing "little stuff here and there" in terms of solo touring, with "a handful of shows in the UK in October" hopefully in the works. On top of that, he plans to record CFMT 2 "next year probably", once Slipknot "has kind of done its thing".

Corey also confirmed last week that the follow-up to 2019's incredible We Are Not Your Kind was "being mixed right now".

"Everything is finished, so it's just being mixed right now, which is rad news," he said. "So it's probably gonna take… I think it's probably gonna be another three months [before it is released].

"The artwork's done. We just came up with the title. I'm not gonna tell you it right now. But we're really stoked. So hopefully three months from now – well, less than that – we'll get the single out, and then three months from now we'll get the album out."
