Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as the first half of an expansive, highly ambitious double-concept album, Corey Taylor's hard rock outfit delivers their most cohesive narrative work to date. The production balances aggressive, thrash-oriented heavy metal riffing with polished, radio-friendly balladry and intricate string arrangements. Accompanying a comic book series penned by Taylor, the project effectively marries mainstream post-grunge accessibility with grand, theatrical storytelling.
