The B-sides album follows Taylor‘s debut solo LP, CMFT (an acronym for “Corey Mother Fucking Taylor”), which came out in October 2020.

The first release is a cover of John Caffery & the Beaver Brown Band‘s “On The Dark Side.” The track is, “One of the best rock tunes ever,” according to Taylor (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). “It’s one of our favorites to play live.”

Taylor also said in the interview that he plans to perform some solo shows. “We’re doing little stuff here and there. We just did ShipRocked, which was a lot of fun… It’s looking like we’re gonna do a handful of shows in the U.K. in October, kind of threaded around the Slipknot schedule. So we’re just gonna do it here and there while we kind of gear up [for the next album].”
