“We're blown away by the reception of the album, especially balancing albums sold with our surge in streams” said frontman Corey Taylor. “We poured our hearts into this—the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. The response tells us two things: people love the songs, and rock is far from dead. Our thanks to all the fans and keep spreading the word! We'll see you all soon!”
