Stone Sour started in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1992 and spent five years grinding it out before calling it quits in 1997. In 2000 they regrouped around singer Corey Taylor, and this time the band got its shot: the self-titled debut arrived in 2002, a slab of alternative metal where Taylor could roar one minute and croon the next, with Jim Root's guitars lashing out alongside Josh Rand's.
The heavy stuff, "Get Inside" and "Inhale", earned Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance, but "Bother", a stripped-down, aching ballad, is the song that stuck. Come What(ever) May in 2006 played the same double hand, the brooding "Through Glass" next to the jolt of "30/30-150", which picked up another Best Metal Performance nod. Drummer Joel Ekman left that year and Roy Mayorga took the stool.
Audio Secrecy followed in 2010, then the two-part House of Gold & Bones in 2012 and 2013, and after bassist Shawn Economaki and then Root had left, Hydrograd in 2017 introduced guitarist Christian Martucci and bassist Johny Chow. The band has been on indefinite hiatus since 2020.
