Corey Taylor signs with BMG and announces a new album

According to Billboard, Corey Taylor has signed with BMG for the release of his second solo album “CMF2”. The album is due later this year. Taylor‘s debut solo album “CMFT” was released via Roadrunner in 2020.

Taylor is also working with BMG on their new imprint Decibel Cooper, which will release “CMF2”. He also intends to use it to help other artists in the future.

Taylor said to Billboard:

I wanted to work with BMG because they came in super hot wanting to work with me, and they’ve been keeping the fires burning for rock, punk and metal over the last few years.

Decibel Cooper will not only allow me to release my own music and art worldwide, but it also gives me a solid way to help bolster any rad new acts I want to put on the roster. BMG is going to help me put my money where my mouth is — giving a boost to the next generation.

Jason Hradil, Executive VP of New York/Senior VP of International Marketing at BMG said of this new deal:

We are thrilled to welcome Corey Taylor to the BMG family. His new album is an extension of the incredible body of work he’s assembled over his career, and we can’t wait for fans around the world to hear it later this year.
