He first shared news of the upcoming release last week in an interview with Eddie Trunk on his SiriusXM Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk show, revealing that the accompanying LP to last year’s ‘CMFT’ will arrive on February 25.
‘CMFB… Sides’ features nine unreleased B-sides, acoustic renditions, live versions, and covers of tracks that inspired Slipknot.
According to a press release, the album will see Taylor strip Red Rider’s ‘Lunatic Fringe’ down to a “striking acoustic number”. He and his cohorts “hypercharge” ‘Got To Choose’ by KISS and lock into “a punchy punk gallop” during Deady Boys’ ‘All This And More’.
Elsewhere, the new LP includes Taylor’s snarling cover of Metallica‘s ‘Holier Than Thou’, which he initially recorded for the legendary metal band’s recent anniversary covers album, ‘The Metallica Blacklist’.
It also boasts acoustic takes on ‘Kansas’ and ‘Halfway Down’ from ‘CMFT’, and a powerhouse live medley of ‘Home’ and Stone Sour’s famous ‘Come What(ever) May’ finale ‘Zzyxz Rd.’
